genetic question

I just found out that i am a carrier of a balanced translocation of chromosomes 1 and 10. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who have the same problem? Also I was wondering if you are what have you done to increase your chances of becoming pregnant? I already have a 4 year old girl, but I have had 6 miscarriages. I was thinking maybe they could give me something to increase my egg production so that maybe there will be a better chance of a viable pregnancy. Any info would be of great help! Thanks!!

I read some where that approximately 20% of all recognized pregnancies will end in a spontaneous loss, most often within the first trimester. There are genetic and non-genetic causes of pregnancy loss. The main cause of miscarriage in the first trimester is due to a chromosomal abnormality (extra or missing genetic material), usually a one time chance occurrence that will not affect future pregnancies. It has been estimated that as much as 50% to 60% of all miscarriages that happen in the first trimester are due to a chromosomal abnormality. There is a website that lists genetic clinics by geographic location: www.geneclinics.org; click on "clinic directory". Information about genetic counseling and how to find a genetic counselor in your area are available online from the National Society of Genetic Counselors at www.nsgc.org.

riknlee - 66 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am not sure on this one. Does it have to do with whether your partner is a carrier too? I have heard that sometimes if you both have it, it can cancel each other out. I feel for your concerns. you really need answers and it is hard to find them sometimes. Talk to a genetic counseller at a hospital. good luck
