Looking for hope after TFMR for Trisomy 21 π
Hello everyone,
I never imagined I would be writing a post like this, but I am hoping to connect with women who have gone through something similar.
I am 30 years old and recently had to say goodbye to my baby boy at 16 weeks after an amniocentesis confirmed Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). My pregnancy had many reassuring signs β normal NT measurement (2.1 mm), nasal bone present, normal anatomy scans and good growth β so the diagnosis came as a huge shock. This was also my second consecutive pregnancy loss, as I had a miscarriage last year.
The termination was completed just a few days ago, and physically I am recovering well, but emotionally I am trying to find hope again.
I would be very grateful to hear from anyone who has experienced TFMR for Trisomy 21 or another chromosomal abnormality.
How long did you wait before trying again?
Did anyone conceive before their first period?
How long did it take you to become pregnant again?
Were your subsequent pregnancies healthy?
Did you go on to have your rainbow baby?
Right now, I am feeling hopeful and would love to try again as soon as it is medically safe, but I also feel scared after two consecutive losses.
Reading success stories and hearing from women who truly understand this journey would mean so much to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. β€οΈ
