{this is the story of a mama who has had several losses}
This is my story. We started ttc 2009 and I got pregnant a month later but miscarried. Six months after that I miscarried again and a third one after that. I was devastated and felt so lost.
At this point we finally found why and I have a genetic balanced translocation with a very high risk to miscarry as the fetus might get severe diseases and abnormalities. We don’t know the exact % but in general they say more than 50% of the embryos inherit a genetic variation of my translocation which leads to death.
So, I got pregnant a 4th time and got a daughter after a very tough pregnancy with a lot of anxiety - I also got an epileptic seizure during labor which put as both in danger. Luckily it all went well.
After Ebba we paused for a year and a half and then decided to give it a new try. I miscarried at 10 weeks, 4 weeks and 17 weeks in a row.
Now we are getting help with IVF PGD which is IVF with genetic analysis of the embryos where they only transfer healthy ones back.
Our first PGD cycle failed and right now I’m devastated - got the bad news last week. Follow my journey here on Instagram when we are trying for cycle number two.
Love, Sandra
