UPDATED T&Ps please: Lost first LO to DS--NT scan today

AmandaFaith · October 2013

I could really use some T&Ps today ladies. My EDD this go around is exactly one day before DH & I's EDD with our stillborn son that we lost at 19 weeks in December 2011. (05/15/2012 vs 05/14/2014) The pathology report revealed he had DS and likely succumbed to complications from that. We were able to identify a genetic abnormality with my DNA which led to his condition, and decided to stop trying on our own and proceed with donor egg IVF. We did not do an NT scan with Cayden because we knew we would not terminate regardless of the results. We will never opt to terminate a pregnancy but decided that this go around we would do the NT scan to either reassure us that everything is okay, or help prepare us in case anything may be wrong. We are not anticipating any complications this time, but nobody ever does. If you can spare a few extra T&Ps for DH, myself, and our twins they would be greatly appreciated. I'll update this PM after we know what's going on.

Update: We opted for the integrated test with two sets I bloodwork so we won't get the official results until December, but based on measurements from the u/s everything looks perfect.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers today. Here are a couple pictures of our LOs.

I hope you get good news at your NT scan and I think it's great that you're preparing yourself... I think it's better to be overly prepared then to be completely in the dark.

Tons of good thoughts to you. I know this must be so hard. We had a DS scare at 16 weeks with my son, and ended up doing an amnio, because even though we knew we wouldn't terminate, we wanted to know what to prepare for. I know it's the scariest feeling in the world. My heart goes out to you today.

This for me, too...except make it 17w.

Best wishes to you for amazing odds at your NT.
