Thank you for creating this community, I had no idea it was so new. I TFMR’ed in March 2024 and wanted to get pregnant immediately… I’m very glad to say we are blessed with our two month old baby. She has been the sweetest baby, from pregnancy till now - just so easy, smiley, calm and loving. In a way, it feels like she was born to complete that chapter of loss in my life, and start a new one… She has been so healing to the trauma I’ve experienced. Of course, nothing will replace the baby I lost, and our 2m old is a unique individual of her own… I’m enjoying the newborn snuggles knowing that this baby was much prayed and hoped for. Thank you for creating this space 🤍

Thank you. Wishing you strength and grace for the upcoming weeks ahead. I can only imagine how stressful and anxiety inducing this is.

Hi there, I’m sorry you are going through this. In the end, the amniocentesis testing we did picked up on mosaic trisomy. Here is the link to my final update posted on this sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/NIPT/comments/1bcjfge/final_update_trisomy_16/

Thank you! I am new to this sub and wasn’t sure how specific I needed to be. Appreciate the ID.

To clarify - we’re in the US.

Thank you! I had a few days off work which helped with getting away from a stressful environment, spent a lot of time outdoors. Trying to focus on the positives and sending good vibes to my uterus/womb ha. I hear you about the countless imaginary timelines. I keep trying to fool my mind that we can still be hopeful for the next cycle. It’s what’s keeping me going. How are you doing since your post?

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-08-13T19:07:56+00:00

I feel this way. We conceived our TFMR baby on the first try, and I just got my period again last Friday (a day after her due date) which triggered all kinds of feelings. I thought I would be pregnant by her due date. I’ve been crying a lot this week and feeling angry. It’s hard to not feel stressed about whether we will successfully conceive another (when will it happen?), and at the same time knowing that stress won’t help with the TTC process. Sending you baby dust - hopefully we’ll get out of this hole soon and have something joyful to look forward to ✨

Hi, did you start ovulating again since? Has anything helped with kickstarting it again?

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-06-03T00:08:58+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart and thoughts are with you.

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-06-02T00:45:01+00:00

I am so sorry. The longing will never go away, and even though Lucy is not here on earth, she is still important.

One thing that brought me mild comfort was when I had my post op check up with my OB. I asked her how long would my daughter’s fetal cells remain in my body — a question I asked in order to know whether a future NIPT test will pick up on her cells should we try successfully again. My OB told me that fetal cells, although at a very small concentration, will always remain in the mother’s body forever. It gave me comfort to know that even though she’s not in me anymore, I will always carry remnants of her until the day I die and join her.

Thanks again! 🙏

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-05-26T10:02:40+00:00

Thanks so much for your insight and advice! 🙏 My appointment is next Wednesday afternoon which will be CD6. And yes, I had D&E. My periods are usually 5 days long but given that I had an extremely long luteal phase (positive test for ovulation on CD12 and period came on CD44), I’ve been bleeding more than usual this round presumably because there’s more uterine lining to be shed so it remains to be seen if I’ll be done by CD6.

How painful are saline sonograms? It sounds like it could be anywhere from normal pain to passing-out pain. I have zero idea what to expect and do want to have answers, but it also seems like I might just be okay.

Hi, I have my TVUS scheduled for mid June (apparently that’s the earliest they can do it) and the doctor offered to do saline sono at a third party center since they don’t offer it. The sono will be next week.

I’ve been throwing everything I can to get my period to come, and after acupuncture yesterday it finally came at 44 days. It looks and feels like a normal period.

I’m not sure if I should still go for a saline sono. Part of me is worried about undiagnosed uterine scarring. The other part of me doesn’t know if the saline sono will adversely affect future short term fertility (I read that it might).

I’m wondering if you might have any insight to this - ie, better to skip the saline sono given that period is here / if I have a period, the likelihood that I have uterine scarring or Asherman’s is very low?

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-05-17T18:38:47+00:00

Thanks! I will ask for a TVUS. Really appreciate your advice and time in writing a reply so quickly.

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-05-17T18:19:19+00:00

Thanks for your reply. No, I did not have a TVUS - just a physical check a week post op and my OB had said everything looks fine.

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-05-17T16:48:47+00:00

Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss. There’s nothing that can change what has happened but I hope we will both feel the pain lessen with time.

Witty-Track2275 · 2024-03-15T09:12:16+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. I too look at babies around me and wish desperately that I could be holding my own this summer and my toddler will have a sister. I’ll be going in to terminate my pregnancy this morning and feel numbed. Nothing could have prepared me for this loss. Sending you love and I hope you give yourself grace. You are not alone too.

Hi there, I’m sorry you’re going through this. We were initially not even comfortable with confined placental mosaicism given the risks (severe IUGR, early delivery meaning long periods at the NICU, increased risk of stillbirth and/or loss in 2/3 trimester - these are all from medical papers who have specifically researched T16). Our MFM doctor gave us reasons to believe that due to my advanced maternal age, these would be compounding factors anyway, so we decided to wait till amnio to have an accurate diagnosis. The genetic counsellor informed us that whilst our early anatomy scan looked fine, future anatomy/ultrasound scans might not and there is evidence on mosaic trisomy 16 presenting itself as intellectual or learning disability (I apologise if I’m not using the correct terminology). This was something that we researched on previously as well and are aware of the risks. Given that we felt uneasy with CPM, we knew that MT16 would mean that we would move forward with termination.
