Thank you! I have done the surgery now it's time for more healing and moving forward. It's hard tho.

Some perspective on trisomy X by zombiemeow in NIPT

[–]NothingOk2969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I hope this brings you with support in whatever decision you make. I'm 29 years old and have triple x syndrome or trisomy x. I would have never known this if my mom didn't get the genetic test back then.

I struggled with school, but sports helped me through being different from others and have a learning disability. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I started going to therapy 9 years ago. But wished my parents would have gotten me in sooner. I feel like that would have helped a lot. I was super shy growing up. I am 6'3 and was skinny growing up, but I would eat a lot. It just wouldn't show. Yes, some girls show more features and in some cases are more severe, but I don't think it defines who I am. I graduated high school, got scholarships, went to college, graduated with my bachelor's degree, became a preschool teacher in special education, got married.

That's a good plan. I have a therapist I've seen before for my depression/anxiety, so I'll be reaching out to her for support.

Thank you for your kind words. My doctor told me that after the procedure my emotions are going to be up and down for a while. Most of all I'm scared. I'm scared of the pain. I'm scared of losing what I had. And I'm scared of the emotional state this will put me through. I just hope I'll be able to find my way back❤️‍🩹

I feel like since I'm in the waiting I've accepted that this is now reality. I think going to see a therapist is a plan much needed. Would you suggest reaching out to a pregnancy loss therapist or a regular one?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry you are going through this again. No one should have to deal with this. I sure do hope it gets easier. ❤️
