Balanced Translocation
Hey all...so we did end up miscarrying...the pregnancy wasn't viable and my levels just weren't doubling like they should. They ran tests and the doctor suspects I have Balanced Translocation. has anyone heard of this? Any information you have will be greatly appreciated. From what I have found out, it looks like it's just that you have a higher risk of mc than others...my husband and I both are going for labwork next week to confirm/rule out...

I have a balanced translocation. You do have higher risk of mc. I could be pregnant every month but it pass before I even miss a period. You are at a slighter more risk of having a child with disabilites depending on which translocation you have. Mine is robertsonian chromosome translocation so I am a little higher risk to have a down syndrome baby. Don't let this discourage you though. I have a perfectly healthy 3 1/3 year old little girl and may have one on the way! Good luck with everything!
She was produced the natural way and she is perfectly normal and very happy kid!
First off, I don't know what just happened that I checked you as "best answer"!! Not that there was anything wrong with your answer, it just happened and you are the only one to answer so far :)
I'm remaining hopeful that I can carry a baby and have a baby. Before I was worried about getting pregnant but have been preggo 3 times...sadly all resulting in a mc. The first I did not have a D/C with. But the last 2 I did and only the last one displayed these crazy results. I'm trying to figure it out and see what my plan will be, but they said these results will take 2 wks. Did you have to go the IVF route? So you are at higher risk for down syndrome but had healthy baby?
