D&C genetic testing results in

in TTC After a Loss

We have an appointment scheduled with our RE next week and we were told that we'd receive the results of the genetic testing at that appointment but my RE nurse just called me with the results. She said the RE will go over everything with us in detail next week but she didn't want to keep us waiting.

The baby had Trisomy 16. And it was a boy. 

I really know nothing about this (since in 5 years I've never gotten this far) and I know the RE will fill us and I'm certain I'll do my fair share of research between now and then, but any info you ladies can share would be appreciated. Like, is this something that is generally just bad luck? Or is it a genetic condition that he or I have that causes (and will continue to cause) our babies to have this? Those are the types of questions I have for her, but a week is a long time to wait, as you all know.

    My little girl had trisomy 12. The doctor said it is something that will not happen again, it is rare. I know it's not the same diagnosis as your little boy. They ran karyotyping on DH and I about a month ago and we will get our results at the end of the month. 

    I hope your RE can give you some answers.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I just got the results from my tissue testing today as well and our baby had Trisomy 16 as well. My doctor explained that its the most common cause of mc, affecting over 50 percent of miscarriages. It means that the baby ended up with an extra set of chromosomes and would not survive past the first trimester. They attribute it to bad luck because it happens when the cells are dividing after conception, a bad egg or bad sperm could affect it.

    Our doctor is happy that our baby came back with a chromosomal issue over a genetic one because I also test positive heterozygous MTHFR and they were worried that may be the issue. It means that our chances of conceiving a healthy baby are better and there's absolutely nothing we did wrong or could have done differently. I know how much it stinks to lose any child, but I have hope that our results mean we still have a chance, even after 2 losses. I hope your RE can answer all of your questions and concerns for you and give you hope and closure. Don't be afraid to ask about anything on your mind when you go and know we're here for you.

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I don't know anything about Trisomy 16. My baby boy had Trisomy 14 but it was caused by a translocation. In that case, it was possible that my DH or I passed it on, causing the trisomy (and it turned out my DH does have it). I would tend to think that Trisomy 16 is just bad luck. My doctor was able to tell me that right off the bat that it was related to a translocation so if your nurse didn't mention it it's probably just a fluke thing. I'm glad you have an answer but sorry you have to wait to find out more info. ((hugs))
