Hello everyone,

today is one of the saddest days of my life.
After 2 miscarriages me and my husband had blood tests and today I found out that the causes of my miscarriages is a chromosomal anomality of mine.
I have a paracentric inversion on one chromosome 10.
I am petrified...has anyone had a familiar problem?
We are to go for genetic counseling but I feel like the whole world is collapsing...

please any help would be appreciated

thank you

Christina, I’m sorry you have to deal with this. I will be thinking of you.
I don’t know about this problem, but I know that with some problems they can screen during IVF. This may be a solution.

I wish you all the best.

thank you so much

this is what the obgyn said...screening prior to IVF

but he said that only a genetist can tell if it is worth the trouble

I think I am going a bit crazy

I wish I knew more about this problem so I could give you some solid advice. I can imagine this is a tough time and there'll be a lot of information to digest. The silver lining is that you now know what's causing your miscarriages. Diagnosis is so key in IF - so many couples keep trying and trying and live with the frustration of 'unexplained IF' - so at least being armed with a justifiable reason is the start to finding a way to have a family. I totally understand how hard it might be to see it that way at the moment, though. Hang in there - I hope you hear some encouraging news from the genetic counselor. Best wishes to you and your dh - you'll be in my prayers!
