I recently had a "missed" miscarriage 6 weeks ago and my doctor decided to do genetic testing. They found abnormalities in the 22nd chromosome, but have not been able to provide me with any more information. My husband and I had blood work done and should get the results in about 2 weeks. I am a nervous wreck wondering if we will ever be able to have children. Do you know whether or not trisomy 22 will be a recurrent scenario that we will face if we get pregnant again, or is it possible to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy child. What have your doctors told you about getting pregnant? Any information will help.
