Results From Loss

yeliza h · January 2011

Arianna had Mosaic Turner Syndrome. I am so confused. I am so upset.They suspected it but now that it has been confirmed it is like I am going through the loss all over again. Dr said something about having 45x and 47xxx. The doctor that did my D&E called and told me but she was talking doctor lingo and I have no idea what it all means. I am calling my obgyn and have her explain what this means for future pregnancies.

Has anyone ever heard of this?

Hi Sweetie---I am so sorry to hear about your results, even if you were expecting them. I've never heard of this, but my mom is pretty well versed in chromosomal abnormalities, since she went through several miscarriages when she was much older before she had my younger sibilings. so call your obgyn and see if they help, and if you want i can ask my mom for you to see what she knows!

Again, I am so sorry!! I hope things are made clearer for you!!!!! But I know it won't help you right now, but she is in heaven watching you right now, healthy as can be! Be strong--you have been doing great in healing and grieving (can you do well with grieving?).

{{{{big hugs}}}

pm me if you need too!

I am so sorry for your loss. That is heart breaking. I do not understand your precious baby's condition but I do hope you find your answers soon.

Sorry for your loss and sorry that getting results is not making you feel better but hopefully you can get more answers and get some kind of closure! hopefully we all have a better year.

Hey - I'm so very sorry for your loss. About the Turners - my baby died as the result of her having straight Turner's Syndrome (45x). People normally have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs, one of those pairs in particular determines the sex. XX for a girl & XY for a boy. Turners happens when a baby is completely missing their second sex chromosome, hence the 45x. Mosaic Turners occurs when a baby has some cells that are missing their second sex chromosome while other cells have both. I'm not sure what 47xxx is, but I hope I've helped you some.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I just wanted to add that Turner's is a genetic anomaly and another baby with Turner's isn't likely to be conceived again by you. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

ETA: I hope that didn't sound insensitive... I didn't know how to word it. I stumbled up on this and I wanted to reassure you but I also didn't want to pass your baby off as "an anomaly" when she was such a special little girl.

It would be great if you could ask your mom is she knows anything about it. I am going to call my doctor today. Thanks!
