Can Anyone Help With Trisomy Recurrence

[Where there's hope]

Hi K

Yes, I spoke with a genetic counciller. She believes I am having a very bad run of luck. But from what I know so far, the chance of trisomies increase with age. I believe (and I want to be wrong) it is an indication of my egg quality.

My Ob seems to think otherwise. He thinks something genetic is going on, despite our normal karotyping results from last year. We have done some extended tests just to be sure and are awaiting those results.

Thanks

What type of additional tests were done after normal karotyping? My baby has Trisomy 13 via IVF. I am 35 and concerned about my eggs.... Any advice is appreciated.

Hi tryingwithhopes, welcome to BB. My baby Emmanuel had Trisomy 13 and when we had genetic counselling we were told that Trisomy 13 is not a genetic condition, it is chromosonal. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask.
