Success after IF

Got our genetic testing back from my D&C :(

It was a boy.  I almost didn't want to know, but I knew I would always wonder.  There was an extra copy of chromosome 22.  I am almost glad something was wrong because at least we have an answer.  Is that crazy?

  • ((hugs)) I am so sorry.  I was literally just about to  post the sme thing.   I know exactly how you feel.  We knew with my last miscarriage that it was a chromosomally abnormal male.  I just got my latest one back and it was normal male : (  It was "easier" when I knew what was wrong.

  • No, I would want to know, too.  I think it would make me feel better to have an answer.

    Not at all, I always think having an answer is easier because either a) you can fix somethign or b) you know there was nothing you could have done differently to change the outcome.

  • I wanted to know too.  It gave me closure.  I hope this gives you your much needed closure so you can move on to whatever the next step is for you.

  • I am sorry, but I think I would want to know too.  I don't think it's crazy at all.  Like you said at least you have an answer!

  • I completely understand not knowing if you really want to know.  When they called with our CVS results and asked if I wanted to know the sex, I wanted to say no, but I knew I had to know since they had the answer.  I'm happy I know because if I didn't I think I would feel like I was denying she existed, but at the same time I think it makes everything more real and a bit harder to cope with.  Our daughter had Down Syndrome and I was actually a bit upset that it wasn't something "worse" because many babies survive with Downs and mine didn't.

    I'm so sorry you are going through this!

    It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!

  • I'm so sorry. I had a loss that was discovered at 13 weeks, but because it was a twin pregnancy, it wasn't possible to do any testing. I really wish I had that information. Even though it has been more than 3.5 years, I still think about that baby at least once a week. I wish I knew that something was definitely wrong and also whether it was a boy or a girl (so hard to say "it").

    So, that's a long way of saying, no, I don't think that's crazy at all.  (((hugs)))
