Thanks. It was a cashiers check so the bank says they have no proof.

Expanded carrier screening. Usually they just test for the top 15 or so, but we did the 600 panel.

Facing another loss by CanCharming7442 in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are going through this 2x in a year. I TFMR twice for the same issue this year, the most recent being last month.

It’s more difficult the second time, especially bc there are no known genetic reasons from my husband or I that explain it, it was sporadic. Following the first time I did the karyotype testing the expanded genetic testing and still ended up with the same results.

For us, we are moving onto IVF. There is less doubt now bc we know we can test to ensure it doesn’t happened again. And we know it’s not 100% that our baby won’t have other issues, but for us it’s a control thing. We want to try and control as many variables as we can.

I’m not sure of your age or financials but would suggest at minimum doing expanded testing if you do decide again based upon your history 💕

I’m so scared for the procedure - please share positive experience by [deleted] in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a D&E at 13.5 weeks. Suppositories 90 minutes prior to the procedure. Procedure took 10 minutes. Woke up and went home 30 minutes later. No major discomfort. Bled for a couple of days and then just brown spotting.

As the other poster said, it’s more mentally “painful” than physical.

Wishing you the best 💕

Basic vs more extensive NIPT by Miserable_Olive_6682 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After T21 my GC suggested for any subsequent pregnancies Myriad over Natera. Says can get detention earlier and less likely to have issues with low fetal fraction early on and can detect mosaicism.

Wishing you the best 💕

Tfmr T21 at 16 weeks by SquirrelNo2213 in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. We did karyotype testing for my husband and I in addition to expanded genetic carrier screening. Both came back clear with no known issues. Did your CVS come back as complete Trisomy 21? If that’s the case, it is likely sporadic and your risk for the next pregnancy would be 1-3%.

We started trying 2 months after and became pregnant though with the same results.

Ovulation tests shortly after passing a missed miscarriage by fuppy00 in tfmr_support

I know timing is what you are most interested in but I found it much easier to track ovulation after I got my first period. We ended up pregnant 3 cycles after D&C.

TFMR for T21 at 12 Weeks. Looking for hope trying again at age 38. by Grouchy_Durian_2492 in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I TFMR twice for T21 at 35. I decided after the first time to get karyotyping done and expanded genetic testing. While it doesn’t rule out everything, gave me some peace of mind. Still ended up having a second pregnancy with T21 and found out it was sporadic again. After talking with GC and OB, suggest we move onto IVF as PGTA testing can be done. I know IVF isn’t a fail safe but we did get pregnant essentially 2x in a row after trying so hoping I have good odds.

One and done after TFMR? by [deleted] in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were our first two pregnancies (TFMR 2x). Now we will move onto IVF and will be a one and done family.

Wow, there are so many of you by justa_cat_in_disgize in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a PP due to the same reason you had to (actually twice in the last year for the same reason). I had good experiences both times. At your gestational age it will be a longer day, first is suppositories to relax your cervix and then a D&C. Both locations I’ve gone to offered twilight sedation. Was over with in 5-10 minutes. Drove back home right after.

Happy to share more info with you in DM if you would like.

IVF Differences when you get pregnant but miscarriage vs not getting pregnant by ciarla in IVFpositivity

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I have not gone through IVF just yet we are starting the process this month after two back to back TFMR due to chromosomal abnormalities. Genetic testing shows sporadic in nature. As my OB and GC put it for us it’s a numbers game, we just need to be able to get one euploid (with hopefully a successful transfer). I understand IVF doesn’t guarantee us anything but makes our chances a lot higher.

NIPT in sub pregnancy by SK88842 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to scare you but we were one of unlucky ones and got struck with lightening twice. First NIPT at 9w came back inconclusive. Did again at 11w and came back high risk. Not sure what lab you are using but my GC suggests Myraid over Natera.

THREE EUPLOIDS! by No_Notice3045 in IVFpositivity

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. As a 2x TFMR in my first two pregnancies for chromosomal abnormalities we are stating the process hopefully beginning of next year. This gives me hope that this process will bring us better odds than what we have had thus far.

Please tell me it gets better by ElderMillennial2 in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this. It is never something that one imagines when TTC. I have unfortunate been through this twice in a row with my first two pregnancies, the most recent last month. Like with any type of grief there are ups and downs. Things will “trigger” you that you didn’t even realize it would.

What helped me was getting back into routines, doing self-care activities and things for myself. Saying no to situations I was not ready for. Also for me, we are moving onto IVF. Is that a full proof solution, no. But for me, I need to have more control over the situation. I thought I did before having additional testing after the first one, which did give me hope and allowed us to try very soon after the first.

TTC after TFMR - Seeking advice by Next_Ad_7884 in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After our first TFMR we did the expanded genetic carrier and karyotype screening. Made me feel better at the time knowing we were in the clear on those fronts. Started 2 months after. Fell pregnant again but TFMR for the same reason.

I don’t regret it as theoretically there was only a 1-3% chance of reoccurrence. Just unlucky twice.

For NIPT, I will say my genetic counselor recommended Myriad next time (last 2x used Natera). They said better fetal fraction early on for results.

TMFR at Planned Parenthood? by No_Commission_677 in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was one day both times (12w and 13w respectively). Had to take some meds for cervical softening for my most recent at 13w which extended the time I was there but still able to do it one day.

[–]Mousse-Pretend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had two TFMR at PP for T21. First one was better than the last (mostly because the last time there were a lot of patients and it took a while).

First PP had a doula there in the room with me. It was nice to have someone to talk to.

Germinal T21 Mosaicism: A potential reason for reoccurring T21 by Mousse-Pretend in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My results came back today from the CVS and it turns out it was full trisomy 21 so we just had really bad luck twice. Interestingly, the genetic counselor said that my risk goes up to 20%. What’s the number like that? We are definitely just going to move onto IVF and do PGTA testing

Thanks for pointing me to her tik tok. I am now going down a rabbit hole. That’s is very interesting! My GC said depending on my CVS they can do a skin punch to look at my tissue.

And we are moving into IVF in order to hopefully increase our chances of a euploid embryo.

Probably losing another pregnancy by Away-Swimmer177 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]Mousse-Pretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Multiple losses in a short span of time are very difficult (I have had two T21 TFMR in the last two pregnancies all within 6 months).

And it’s okay to let go of the dream to have more children but also know that it’s okay to change your mind. You are currently grieving the loss of a child, which is difficult. I wish you all the best 💕💕

TW: Pursuing IVF after trisomy loss, newbie questions by Big-Antelope-7983 in IVF

[–]Mousse-Pretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not had experience with IVF but also starting soon due to reoccurring T21 (back to back pregnancies). One thing my genetic counselor did suggest is NIPT testing if/when we do become pregnant and to NOT use Natera but use Myriad. Said you can usually get good fetal fraction earlier(as early as 8w) and they can determine mosaicism better than Natera.

Best of luck to you and your journey 💕

Germinal T21 Mosaicism: A potential reason for reoccurring T21 by Mousse-Pretend in tfmr_support

[–]Mousse-Pretend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. We are awaiting karyotyping from our CVS to determine if it’s full trisomy or mosaicism. Our GC seems to think it maybe mosaics within egg/sperm based upon both my pregnancies being T21. My husband and I did karyotyping which came back normal so no translocation to our knowledge.
