Genetic Testing

So the OB called and just told me that they were unable to do the genetic testing since the fetus died more than a week before we found out (its possible that is was about two weeks maybe more). There were no viable cells. I'm so sad. I was just hoping to get some answers...

Re: Genetic Testing

As much as it hurts, leave it rest.
I found out 4 weeks later and it opened things for me that I didnt need to know. I felt like I wanted/needed to know...really out of curiosity but in the end it really didnt make a difference. it will just be there to remember...KWIM... Look fwd to a new beginning and I am sure your next will be a happy and healthy baby! Lots of Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Genetic Testing

That sucks. I was able to get results but like I said they were normal. I hate not knowing why. Was it me? Is it a horomonal problem that I have? I have no answers and I hate that. I want to try again soon but I am really scared of this happening again.

I'm seeing a perinatal doctor next week. I think they are going to discuss future pregnancies and risks with me. I am so scared they are going to tell me that I have to worry about repeat miscarriage. I have a feeling next time around I will be seeing the perinatal as well as my OB when I am pregnantChat Icon and will be considered a high risk patient Chat Icon

I hope that for both of us these losses were just a fluke and that we will both have healthy full term babies soonChat Icon

I am so sorry you weren't able to get any answers. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Genetic Testing

I'm sooo sorry.

My baby died a week before and they were still able to do the genetic testing... I didn't realize there was a cut off.

sometimes they do the genetic testing and they don't find anything at all. I know it's not much of a constellation...

your case might be very different from mine... but I was told I wasn't considered high risk and they never mentioned anything about the possibility of a repeat mc. IDK if that helps you at all... but I'm hoping maybe...

It's also a great idea to see a peri!!

Re: Genetic Testing

Like i told you in my email i was two weeks before we found out & i had the genetic testing done. It came back fine. Which left me with no answers. But yet i was happy because less to worry about. So i dont understand whythey couldnt do it? Im so sorry. But take it as a sign that you shouldnt know. God will bless you soon. I promise. XOXO

I hope you are right. I don't know what to think. I was supposed to see my OB today but my appointment was cancelled due to an emergency so I will have to wait to get her opinion on our chances for next time (since they didn't find a reason for this one kwim?).

I know the peri doctor will do genetic counseling with us. I am sure he will go over genetic risks and miscarriage risks.

I just want to find out what happens next time I get a BFP. Will I have more sonograms during the first trimester? I can't imagine waiting until 8-12 weeks to find out I had another missed miscarriage.

I just can't imagine going through this over and over again. That is what my fear is. One loss is very discouraging. I can't imagine how discouraging multiple losses can be. I don't know if I am that strong.

The internet does not help. It seems like I read more about women having multiple losses as opposed to just 1.

It is getting closer to TTC again so the fears are really starting to surface Chat Icon I remember the first time around when we TTC and I had not a worry or fear (out of the ordinary worries), how do any of us enjoy being pregnant after this? I know you are pregnant and it gives me hope but I feel like it will never be as exciting as the first because I'll be on eggshells the whole time.

Sorry for hijacking Srella. I hope you are doing okay Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I'm just having a bad day again. They come and go. Chat Icon

You have to remember, MANY people who have multiple miscarriages will go on to write about there multiple miscarriages. Women that have one miscarriage and go on to have many healthy pregnancies probably just consider themselves blessed and dont report back to miscarriage boards.Chat Icon

I have had 2 miscarriages 1 at 10wks one was a chemical. Im now 12wks pregnant again. With the first we had a D&C & genetic testing & it came back fine. Yes we had no answers. But then again less to worry about chromosomal wise etc. This time as the other 2x we got prego the old fashioned wayChat Icon and all is fine. Dont drive yourself crazy. It will happen. Yes though i did tell my OB when i went for my first sono at 6wks that i will be getting a sono & bloodwork every week for the first trimester. And my OB was fine with it & has stuck by her word. So if you demand it then you will get it. lol Also seeing ahigh risk isnt bad. Its actually better. U get to have in depth info. Also if your worried about chromosomes etc. Request all bloodwork for clotting issues egg health & chromosome for you & DH. I suggest gettingthose done asap befor eth eperi appt so you have that info. After the second Mis i decided to speak with a fertility sepc & i had all of this bloodwrok results & he wa simpressed. He also wanted to do a falopian tube test. But i said Dr. i get prego. Both times i wanted to i did. Its holding it thats the prob. So he said ok i went on a low dose aspirin everday & thats it. So far so good. Fingers crossed & i pray ALOT!
