Hello! My name is Michelle and during my TTC journey I have hit many obstacles. The one that stung the most was a TFMR at 22 weeks. I’m uploading videos on topics that I had trouble finding videos on throughout this whole process and I’m hoping these videos help at least one other person out there. I will continue to document this journey I am on and hopefully document my rainbow!
Thank you for sharing your story. There aren't a lot of people willing to talk about this. I'm in the UK and it's different here, my experience was very different but the emotional impact is much the same. I appreciate hearing your story. I wish you all the best in the future ❤️ Edit- i cant imagine going through that with protesters, there is laws against protesters outside hospitals etc where I live. It must be so difficult, especially when its a wanted pregnancy and these protesters have no empathy for certain circumstances 😭
I am so sorry for your loss! The emotional impact is definitely something so intense, it’s hard for others to fully understand unless they also experienced such pain. 💔 I think this is why women who experience this, really find peace in bonding with others who have experienced the same heart ache. Finding community is really great after going through this. I would really love to learn about your UK experiencing! I’m glad you didn’t have to deal with protestors! It really made an already traumatic experience, more stressful. I really wish the United States had laws against protestors for things like this. I hoped in sharing my story, it would help women not feel the shame associated with it ( a lot of shame around this in the USA ) Thank you so much for listening to my story, sending you love, hugs, and healing 🩷🌈
No problem!!! I know it’s a place in your heart that will always be tender, but I hope you are starting to feel better with time! You can always dm me on Reddit if you need to talk🙂🩷🩵💛

Have you had any other pregnancies with Triploidy? I have had two late term losses because of this and now I’m finally pregnant again and just got similar Natera results as yours and I worry I may have my third Triploidy pregnancy… My history: 1 2009: Age 20. Miscarriage 8wks 2 2019/2020: Age 30. Triploidy/Partial Molar - Girl 20wks. DNC. 3 2020: Age 31. Miscarriage 5wks 4 2021: Age 32. Triploidy/Partial Molar - Girl 18wks. DNC. 5 2021: Age 32/33. Miscarriage. 6 weeks 6 pregnancy: Age 35. Currently 11 weeks. 2022: Egg retrieval no embryos. 2022: Egg retrieval 2 embryos frozen. 2023: Failed IVF Transfer of Boy 2023: Failed IVF Transfer of Girl Too many failed IUIs to count. My results: NIPT results say high risk due to fetal dna fraction 2.2%. 1/17 for Triploidy, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13. Also my fiance and I have both been tested and are not carriers for anything so I don’t know why this is happening over and over again for me. I’m just getting older, I have no living children and I want a baby so bad. I’m in debt from IVF so becoming pregnant this time naturally I just felt so lucky. I go talk to the genetic counselor on 5/1 and then go in for my NT on 5/2. I too have read a lot and am mad at Natera and was about to ask for materniT21.. but now after listening to I’m reconsidering. I just hate this so much.
I am so sorry! i just read your post on reddit as well and my heart goes out to you! I have been trying to find your post again but I am having no luck. Is this your first high risk natera nipt or did you have it with the others babies as well? Try to hold onto hope! I only had one triploidy pregnancy BUT, I did find a post on reddit from a woman who is currently pregnant. She got pregnant through ivf and it seems her embryos tested normal. Her natera nipt was high risk for triploidy but she is still pregnant and the baby is fine. Hold on to hope🩷 I know it’s so stressful but stay positive! Natera is infamous for this and plenty of women get this result and end up with healthy babies!
@@seeking.rainbows Thank you. I’m trying to hold onto hope but this is so stressful. In previous pregnancies the first time the nipt came back inconclusive and the baby developed perfectly but I got really ill (preeclampsia, high blood pressure, anemia and pulmonary edema) and almost died. I ended up having a CVS to confirm partial molar with Triploidy and then had to have a dnc. The next time I got pregnant I didn’t want to do the nipt because I was naive and thought that couldn’t possibly happen to me again but it did. The pregnancy progressed and I got sick again, the same things as before and got a CVS to confirm a partial molar with triploidy and had to have another dnc. Then I tried IVF for years with no luck and now I’m super broke from doing so out of pocket. I did have two embryos that were tested and healthy but neither stuck and now I’m out of embryos. I got pregnant this time naturally but now I’m dealing with these high risk results. That’s why I wondered if anyone else had multiple cases of triploidy. :/ I am still trying to have hope because this time around I feel so healthy. In my past pregnancies I would have already had high blood pressure, early onset preeclampsia, constant non stop vomiting and scary amounts of weight gain and breathing problems from the pulmonary edema (I went from 113 lbs to 187 lbs in 5 months) and none of that has happened this time.
I 100 % understand your concerns AND your anxiety. You have gone through so much already. I know you didn’t talk to your genetic counselor yet, but when you do - they will probably tell you the same thing mine did. Natera is infamous for this type of result. Majority of my counselor’s clients were because of this type of low fetal fraction result from Natera. After an amino confirmed triploidy, my counselor really emphasized how triploidy is a fluke thing. I even asked her if she had any patients who had triploidy twice and she told me she did have a patient who had two triploidy pregnancies in her history, but went on to have a healthy baby. I’m so sorry IVF didn’t work, but I see something really positive that came from that. You made two healthy embryos! It’s unfortunate they didn’t stick, BUT they showed you that you make normal healthy pgt embryos! This baby can be healthy , just like those embryos! What is KEY here, is YOU feel healthy! I take that as a wonderful sign. With my triploidy pregnancy I was horribly ill! Another thing I would like to add is, you are only 11 weeks? That means you had your natera testing done around 9-10 weeks? That is very early! My ob wouldn’t test earlier than 12 weeks because she didn’t want to risk low fetal fraction- she wanted enough to make sure i was far along enough fof enough fetal dna. I took my nipt at 12 weeks, and it was lower than yours! It could be you just took it too soon! Stay positive, and keep me posted!Keeping you in my prayers 🩷 Edit: I’m glad you saw this before wasting time with maternit21! I wish they tested every, but they unfortunately don’t
I would have lost my mind if my nurse failed to give me information like that, especially info on ordering meds! It’s overwhelming no matter how many times you do it, but when first starting it can feel like a l o t!
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs of comfort and strength. I understand you very well. We got through the same situation but I was on 24 weeks due to all tests it took so long to get the final diagnosis. We lost our son one month ago. I had a delivery. Now still waiting for DNA test done to know what really happened with him.
I’m so very sorry you also lost your son, and that you had to go through the same situation. That testing period is the absolute worst, and I feel like most of us become numb during that time. I hope you are doing ok, mentally and physically. I know a situation like this is a rollercoaster of emotions but be easy on yourself! If you have reddit, definitely join TFMR_support. It’s such a lifesaver, whether you need to vent or are looking for advice. The women on there are amazing. Sending you hugs of comfort and strength, right back!🩷🩵💛 xoxo
I haven’t been on BC protocol, but definitely talk to your doctor if you are feeling awful! So far estrogen priming started off rough but seems to be getting better! Hang in there! You can power through the BC! 🩷🩵💛
