Monosomy X; Turner Syndrome

Shirley • Married 💍 Third Time Mom♥️ 1st Baby born 01-25-2018 👧🏻 2nd Baby born 06/24/2020; 3rd Baby - Miscarriage; 4th Baby - Medical Termination diagnosis of Turner’s Syndrome

I am 12 weeks & 4 days ❤️ My genetic testing came back w/ a 45% positive test for Monosomy X also known as Turner Syndrome. I was concerned but wasn’t feeling too bad because it was less than 50%. Until yesterday when my doctor got my results & said she needed to see me today. She didn’t seem to concern as it was not 100% until she did my ultrasound & saw 2 cysts on the baby’s neck called Cystic Hygroma which coincides w/ the Turner Syndrome diagnosis. I have been having a rough couple of days since I found this out & I have not stopped crying. Only 1-3% of the pregnancies diagnosed w/ Turner Syndrome make it to birth. Most result in miscarriage or still born. Depending on the results of the next couple of tests, I might have to make the decision of whether or not to have the baby. I am heartbroken 💔😭😭
