Hello everyone. I decided to post here hoping that anyone might shed some light on my situation.
I am 36 years old and have just gone through my second miscarriage in 5 months. I decided to have genetic testing done after the second and they found out the baby had Trisomy 2. I was not told if it was a partial trisomy, mosaicism...etc. My Dr. is referring me to genetic counseling due to the relative obscurity of this result. From what I read, Trisomy 2 is rather rare and most often results in miscarriage, although there are exceptions. I've searched around on the internet, although I've found very little information regarding my chances of having another miscarriage. Does anyone have experience or information with Trisomy 2? I am devastated with this second loss, but even more devastated at the prospect of not being able to have children.
Thank you.
Re: First post. I was seeking experiences and information.
I had never heard about trisomy 2, until your post. In general trisomies mean that you have three copies instead of 2 copies of a chromosome, in this case chromosome 2. There are more common trisomies, I.e 18, 21. Usually trisomies and monosomies are caused by defects when the chromosomes segregate derived from the mom and dad, and it is usually a one time deal. We just got our results back and our baby had Turner's syndrome (only one X chromosome). Trisomy 2 is a rare one, so there may be additional implications, so it is good that your ob referred you to a genetic counselor, they will provide more info.
I am sorry I don't have any more info. Hang in there, be patient as they provide you with more answers. Please keep us updated. ((Hugs))
