Can I Try To Concieve Now After Being Diagnosed With Turners Syndrome And Having A Miscarriage?

In October I had a fetal demise due to turners syndrome. Then in feb found out I was pregnant again but had a miscarriage in march(natural miscarriage on march 21st 2014). Wondering whats chances of miscarriage again and can I start now ttc being that the bleeding has stopped. Also could I be miscarrying due to spouse being diabetic. Im 29 fairly healthy and have an 12 yr old son from previous relationship

Hello and welcome,

I understand your query.

It seems that you are having repeated pregnancy losses. It is best to get evaluaed for the cause first before attempting further pregnancies. Also we do not advise to try to concieve at least 3 months after a pregnancy loss.

Most of the losses are due to genetic abnormalities and are non recurrent. However if there was a baby with turners then it is advisable that both you and your husband get a chromosomal analysis to look for possible minor genetic variations. Other causes of losses are TORCH group of infections, mother having thyroid or diabetes, antiphospholipd antibodies and conditions like SLE.

So please see a gynecologist and get all of these ruled out. Diabetes in father rarely causes a problem until it has been really long standing for 20-30 years and then it causes mostly difficulty in conception.

As of now, I suggest that you take folic acid tablets for three months as deficiency of this vitamin also causes brain defects in babies and abortions. if a cause is found during evaluation get it corrected first and then try to conceive. If no cause is found then try conception after completing 3 months of folic acid tablets, register early with a doctor in the next pregnancy and use drugs like duphaston and HCG injections next time to prevent abortions.

All my good wishes are with you.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
