: Hello to the members,
: I don't know if I'm in the right place
: and if I'm not perhaps someone can
: point me in the right direction. I
: just found found this site from a
: search I did on Trisomy 22.
: I recently miscarried exactly a month
: from today and ironically I received an
: email today from my OBGYN telling me
: about the genetic testing he did on our
: embryo/baby.
: Turns out there was a definite
: abnormality with my pregnancy. His
: emaail: "There was an extra
: chromosome #22 which is called
: autosomal trisomy (this is not much
: different than trisomy #21 which is
: "Downs syndrome"
. However
: trisomy #22 is not compatible with any
: viability and is always miscarried.
: This is the reason the pregnancy
: stopped growing". I guess that's
: why I miscarried according to my
: doctor.
: I'm just trying to get some clarity on
: this from others who have experienced
: the same. Of course I will be talking
: to my doctor tomorrow and will get his
: instructions on what to do next but
: reading other's experience may help in
: what questions to ask, etc.
: For instance there are no chromosome
: defects in my family or my husband but
: yet we produced a embryo/baby wtih an
: extra chromosome 22, does this mean we
: should get tested prior to us trying to
: conceive again? Again, just for
: experience purposes. I'm not asking
: for medical advice here.
: This is all new to me and I'm extremly
: sacred and wonder if I should even try
: to conceive again knowing we had a
: chromosome defect with our first
: pregnancy.
: Thank you and hoping I'll hear from
: someone.
: Yvonne

Hi! I am the mother of 3 beautiful children. My youngest was born with Trisomy 22 (mosaic). He's was a miracle baby from the start &we love him dearly. He's had many surgeries & been in & out of the hospital many times. We have made sooo many friends since Kyle has come into our family. There have been many times we had to change plans, etc.. but there have been many blessings as well. We wouldn't trade Kyle for the world. When he's unhappy we're all unhappy but when he smiles & laughs we all have a great time!! Our doctor says our chances of having another wouldn't be any greater than anyone else...It just happened!?! I haven't gotten pregnant since ....Maybe I wouldn't be able to handle any more!? God Has Been Good!! You can contact me by email if you have any questions! -Sue Esh
