I got our genetic results

[ldubhawksfan]

And it was trisomy 18. I feel like I got another wave of emotions, but more than anything, I feel relieved. It wasn't something I did. While the loss was later than my first and will undoubtedly make me more scared than ever moving forward, it spared me from learning this 1.5 weeks later with the screening, where we would have been faced with the hardest decision ever. Or a late term loss, stillborn, or if he made it through birth, the prospect of not living long. I'm a bag of emotions tonight but I'm so glad we have an answer at least.

I'm glad you got answers! Having that information will help you heal and give you closure. Hang in there!

Also, unless you go nuts and bath in biohazards there is very little you can do to cause a miscarriage. Try not to be hard on yourself!

We got our final test results back on Friday and after four rounds of genetic testing they could find no genetic reason for the issues she had. I'm slowly coming to terms with not knowing "why" but I am grateful this means the chances are slim to none that we would have to go through this again.

Oh hun. I know. It sucks getting answers and it sucks not having answers.

(((((Hugs))))) it's so much to process. Each time we got our genetic results, my heart broke all over again, yet I felt like I could breathe again. For me, there is definitely a relief in knowing why. (((hugs)))

I'm glad you have answers. I bet it's still really hard but hopefully it gives you some peace.
