went to the genetic counselor today

well it was a good visit. They decided we don't need to do the bloodwork and testing. The Trisomy 13 pregnancy over the summer was not a red-flag type of occurrence. Nothing in the tests that came back from that indicate that we are 'carriers' for that and that it would repeatedly come up again. She also said that my m/c last week is 'unknown' because it happened so early and there was no way to know what went wrong- and that is OK. Apparently if I had had 2 unknown m/c and not had a healthy child before all that then yes they'd do genetic testing. But for right now, since I don't have infertility issues, I should wait and see if I get pregnant and then we can do the CVS, etc like we had planned with this past pregnancy.

So anyway, I'm glad I went, I'm glad I don't have to go through any additional testing and we'll take it from there. 

Just thought I'd update all of you.

Re: went to the genetic counselor today

  • I'm glad you are glad. :) We didn't do it, just because Dr. G thought it was just terrible luck that I had a miscarriage after trisomy... So I am praying and crossing my fingers and toes for you that your next PG is totally uneventful!!!! *hugs*

  • I'm glad you got some answers - at least answers that say this was probably a fluke and things are likely okay.    

    Wishing you all the best!
