Anyone here with a balanced translocation?

AIBU to just feel like giving up? Just had miscarriage number 8 (or 9, I can't remember these days) yesterday due to this.

It was the first time I've ever had medical management and it was absolutely horrible. I had vomitting and diarrhea and such bad stomach cramps. I've had to be booked in for surgery this week as I haven't yet passed the pregnancy.

Does anyone else here have a balanced translocation? I feel so alone. I know a lot of people who have had 2/3 miscarriages but I feel completely alone with this many and like I may as well just give up now. I keep trying and I keep failing.

The doctors have told me people with this condition have a 70-80% of eventually having a natural pregnancy but the more this happens the more I think I must be in that percentage of people it doesn't work for.

I do have people I can talk to in real life but no one who quite understands. It's an inherited translocation but my mother didn't have this many (she stopped after having me). I just feel like no one understands. People are sympathetic but no one actually 'gets it'.
