I'm sorry you find yourself here, but welcome. I agree you should ask your doctor why that didn't show up on the blood work. It really should have. I'm sorry you are benched so long.

Welcome. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm going to just echo the other girls and say to discuss your test results with your doctor. I'm just gearing up to get off the bench after 2 years. It's super difficult at first, when a lot of your thinking is focusings on getting pregnant, but it does get easier. I found that focusing on things far removed from TTC really helped me to move into the waiting phase. I hope you get some answers.
Big (((hugs))), I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm always lurking on CAL, and hope it's okay that I answer your question. The Counsyl NIPT (and most other companies that offer it) only checks for the most common trisomies (13, 18, and 21). Panorama is the only company that can detect triploidy. These are only screening tests though, not diagnostic ones. I'm sorry as well for the extra bench time, it's so hard. I did find it really helpful to seek out an RE after my second loss, the extra monitoring they provide (as well as any treatment recommendations) for a future pregnancy is very calming for loss brain.
More (((hugs))). I hope you are able to book that trip to Hawaii!

I'm very sorry for your losses. One of our losses was due to triploidy as well. Having a reason doesn't make it any easier.
You should have your and your H's karyotype done while your on the bench. I'm a big advocate for the more info you have the better. My karyotype is what showed my balanced translocation which was the cause of at least one of our losses and our only two blasts that were able to be tested after our 3rd IVF.
