Turner's Syndrome ?
| Mon, 08-18-2003 - 9:56am |
I just got back from my gyno's office with some very disturbing news. I may have Turner's Syndrome. I'm not all sure what that means except that I will not be able to conceive! Me and DH have been trying now since May and we figured that since I went off the pill, my cycle is all out of whack which is why despite not having AF since June 30th (can you believe that), all we're getting are BFN's. Now I learn that I may have TS. I was born short (everyone in my family is of average height) and have a short, wide neck. Evidently, these are charecteristics. The dr. wants to do blood work which will take over a week to get back. In the meantime, I'm freaking out about the news that we may never have children! DH says to just wait to see what the blood work says before freaking out but I just can't help it! We're a financially modest couple - we can't afford adoption or invitro (which is possible if you have TS but it can take several attempts). I don't want to have to think that I can't have children but there is a possibility.
And isn't it a bit strange that I haven't had AF since 6/30? My dr. never gave me any real answers to that. It's now 8/18 and still - no AF. I'm just a mess!
Has anyone ever heard of TS or know anyone w/ it that has conceived?
