So nervous but excited.

Michaela • Baby boy born 12/27/2020

Last year my dh and I had a miscarriage at 5w in May a mmc in August should have been almost 9wks baby was 6wks no hb, didn't miscarry for almost a week later. Our third miscarriage was at 5w in November. After that our ob said to hold off on ttc until the recurrent mc testing was all done. My dh testing came back with Mosaic Klinefelter syndrome(aka ks) and slow and low count sperm (which is surprising since Klinefelter syndrome have sterile ejaculate.) Our ob then referred us to genetic counseling we never did ask if we should keep ttc. That was march 12th. By the time all our information was sent over to the genetic counseling clinic we had an essential services only order so we didn't even know if and when we would get an appointment.

My dh and I had a conversation about if we wanted to wait to go through the wait and have an appointment with the genetic counseling and not try or ttc with knowing we don't have answers and still a risk of another mc. We decided we want to be parents and we will go through with ttc and a silent mc if that was the case.

Yesterday I had a faint positive test, but positive at 12dpo!! Tomorrow we have a teleconference with the genetic counseling clinic so hopefully I can get the answers to my questions about ks and why we have been conceiving.

So far all my pregnancy symptoms have been similar to my previous 3 with the exception of last night I had an episode of vertigo. It felt more like that light headed feeling you get right after you go from being buzzed to drunk or you were breathing heavy too long and became light headed. I have never in my life ever thought I'd be begging to have the morning sickness my mom had to know that this is really a new pregnancy and my 🌈 ill get to meet!
