To share what we know now. Today, we heard from the ob/gyn about our testing. The chromosomal testing came back that the baby had what I found is called Triploid Syndrome. Here is the explanation online:
Sometimes a baby will have a complete extra set of chromosomes. This is called Triploid Syndrome, where they have 3 copies of every chromosome. This is caused by either two sperm fertilising one egg, a sperm with twice as many chromosomes as usual fertilising an egg, or an egg with twice as many chromosomes as usual getting fertilised.
Not that it tells us much. Other information has said that most babies with this are miscarried and that the ones that make it to birth usually do not live past 5 months. What I cannot find out is any information on recurrance. However, the doctor said there is a 1% chance.
So we would have been having a girl. The chinese charts were right. All in all, I'm not sure this makes me feel any better. Maybe knowledge does not always us happier.
