I just got the news from the doctor. Our daughter died from Turner Syndrome, which I guess is a missing chromosome that only occurs in girls. I’m feeling rather detached at the moment since, for some reason, I was convinced it was a boy. We’d even come up with a name for him. Our doctor said that this was the best possible news we could get from the workup - there are no hormonal problems, and nothing to suggest that I’m any more likely to have another miscarriage than anyone else. But I’m still feeling terrified as we start TTC again.
I know most people don’t have a chance to get bloodwork done after a first miscarriage, but my doctor (whose wife had multiple m/c) made sure we got that option after the D&C. Now I know what happened, which I thought would be a comfort, but I’m not sure it is. Right now I just feel confused, and sad.
