Have Any One Faced Missed Abortion Due to Monosomy X I.e. Chromosome Issue

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My first pregnancy (20 years ago) resulted in a miscarriage too. Back then my doctor told me they only did testing if you miscarried 3 times in a row or if it was a second trimester miscarriage.

My doctor told me more than likely it was a chromosomal abnormality. I must say I am surprised they tested the baby. Miscarriages that early are unfortunately so common.

For what it is worth, I have two healthy girls.

<<Hugs>>

I ended up having 5 miscarriages before my doctor sent me to a specialist. Only one of those did I have a D&C where they were able to test our child for chromosome issues and ours was a trisomy (where they get three of one chromosome instead of only two). Our sweet child had they lived would have had severe heart issues and odds of survival were very slim. Didn't mean I didn't want that baby desperately and would have loved them just they way they came.

We were very concerned and had genetic testing done...which came back normal.

It turned out I had uterine polyps which kept our children from growing past a certain point and then I would miscarry. I had surgery to have that fixed and our son came 11 months later...

We know we are pregnant so much sooner these days than our mothers did...mine told me you had to miss three periods before you could go see your OB back in her day there were no tests.

I am sending you a great big hug!! I know how hard it is to lose a pregnancy...all those hopes and dreams for that child's future are suddenly gone. I bought a small baby item for each of my pregnancies to remember them by because even if we only had 10 - 12 weeks together they were a part of me.

They usually tell you to wait three months before trying again it is to heal emotionally not really because of any medical reason. So when you are ready to try again...go for it...we have two happy and healthy children!! Took us a while and another miscarriage between the two of them but it was all worth it to have them in our lives!! HUGS!!

As others have posted, this is sad and difficult, but common. I lost my first pregnancy at 10 weeks. The doctor didn't perform any additional tests, there were no complications, and the good news is that I went on to have 2 healthy kids. If you want to talk to someone, you can ask your doctor for a referral to a genetic counselor. However, unless you have several miscarriages, most doctors say to wait a few months and try again. I'm sorry for your loss.

I wouldn't worry about it in terms of future pregnancies. My first pregnancy ended with a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. No test was done to determine the cause so I don't know if it was caused by a chromosome issue, but now I have two healthy kids.

I'm sorry this happened to you. In my first pregnancy, I had a daughter at 24 weeks that passed away due to a missing chromosome, they tested immediately the DNA to learn this reason. It was determined to be a 'random fluke' and not something carried by me or my husband. I now have four healthy kids and am 6 weeks pregnant! Good luck and take care.

Welcome to mamapedia!

I'm sorry that you are in this situation. It's hard. I have had three miscarriages. Please understand the difference between an abortion (where you decided to terminate the pregnancy) and where you miscarry the baby due to circumstances beyond your control.

They never tested my first miscarriage at 12 weeks.
The next one was 20 weeks. She was a girl and had a lot of chromosomal issues.
The next one was roughly 14 to 16 weeks and we didn't have her tested either. Yes, we knew she was a girl because my voice got REALLY high and my hair and nails grew (just like with the previous pregnancy).

I would go to your OB/GYN and ask them about future pregnancies. I would ask them to test you and your husband's DNA to see if there is a "mix" that doesn't work. My husband and I were never going to have a healthy girl. I am sorry, I don't remember what the reason was, it's on a document that is filed away. But I try not to focus on that.

You and your husband both need to understand that this happens. There are many reasons. It doesn't mean you can't have another one. Please see your OB/GYN and fertility specialist to see what tests can be run for you and your husband.

Good luck. .Again - I'm sorry for your loss.
