<p>Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is open to potentially having more kids.</p>
<p>The 33-year-old appeared on Tori Spelling's podcast misSPELLING and was asked by the Beverly Hills, 90210 star if she'd ever consider having another baby. Blanchard, who welcomed her daughter Aurora earlier this year with boyfriend Ken Urker, said that she does — but she wouldn't conceive without in vitro fertilization (IVF) this time around.</p>
<p>"I do, I do. But we will have to use IVF for our next one because the one medical condition that I actually do have, it's called microdeletion 1Q21.1," she explains. "So it's just a long word for I'm missing a small piece in each of my first chromosomes."</p>

<p>"That is something that could potentially be passed down to every child that I have. Every child that I have has a fifty-fifty shot of having it," Blanchard says. "Aurora has been tested and she came back negative, thank God. So it was not passed to her. But as a preventative measure, we will go through IVF for our next one."</p>
<p>Spelling then asked Blanchard if she wants a boy now that she has her daughter.</p>
<p>"We do want a boy. One boy and one girl," Blanchard says. "Probably just two. I say that now. You never know what the future holds, but just two for now on the horizon."</p>
<p>According to the National Institute of Health, microdeletion 1Q21.1 is a "chromosomal change in which a small piece of chromosome one is deleted in each cell." The change can increase the risk of delayed development, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities, and neurological and psychiatric problems.</p>
<p>Back in April, the new mom first shared on Instagram that Aurora tested negative for microdeletion 1Q21.1, which Blanchard was first diagnosed with in 2012.</p>
<p>"Great news about Aurora! We're overjoyed to share that our sweet girl, Aurora, has tested negative for the rare condition known as microdeletion 1q21.1," Blanchard wrote in a statement on social media. "This result brings us such immense relief and gratitude. Thank you to everyone who's kept us in your thoughts — your support has meant the world."</p>
<p>In a statement to PEOPLE at the time, Blanchard shared that she was "so relieved" to learn that her daughter didn't inherit her condition.</p>
<p>"I was tested in 2012 and was positive, and again last year in October and again came back positive," she told PEOPLE. "There was a 50-50 chance that she could have inherited it, so we got her tested and she came back negative; therefore, herself and her future children won't have to worry about getting the condition that I have. It stops with me."</p>
<p>"We are so relieved to know that she is healthy and is meeting all of her developmental milestones perfectly," the proud mom added.</p>
