Hi there, wondering if anyone can help with experience or reassurance.
Following 2 rounds of icsi i got bfps then miscarried in the first trimester. Having pushed for immunology/antibody tests and genetic tests to rule out any major issues or get a steer on the situation, our consultant has just called to let me know he's referring me to a genetics specialist as apparently 8% of my ('cells'???) have either a missing or extra x chromosome.
He mentioned Turner Syndrome but said this is unlikely and he also mentioned Mosaic (??). He said the geneticist will help to determine the extent of the problem but essentially it's not fixable in terms of increasing the chances of our ivf being successful/me not continuing to miscarry. He did mention tests that could potentially be done on our embryos (we have 2 frozen) to see ifnthey carry enough x chromosomes.
Sorry if this is garbled, until we get to see the geneticist I'm a bit confused but in an awful panic. Anyone been in a similar situation or know anything useful about this?
