TFMR/genetics/testing
We had to TFMR after our anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Multiple organs were formed incorrectly so things were found incompatible with life. And cord cysts and a single vessel cord was found, which made the doctors believe there was an underlying genetic issue.
Our NIPT came back low risk at 15 weeks and we had microarray testing after TFMR which also came back normal, so the chromosomes were all normal. My infectious labs came back normal too.
Anyone in the same boat? Does that mean the only option left was that there was a single gene change? Or environmental issue? Are these just usually random luck of the draw situations?
I cant stop thinking of reasons why. My husband and I were drinking when we conceived, could that have caused this? I can’t even enjoy a glass of wine right now because I feel like I may cause this to happen again and I can’t help but put somewhat of a blame on myself. It’s hard to accept this happened for no reason. We are getting more genetic testing done but even my genetic specialist warned me multiple times we most likely will not get an answer. That’s crazy to me 😭
