Hello, I am 12 weeks, and I also just got some horrible news from my combined screening. Mine doesn't appear to be Turner's Syndrome (although that is a possibility until I get the final word from the CVS), but it's more likely a Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18 diagnosis. I have been told by multiple perinatalogists and genetics counselors that this is a diagnosis that is incompatible with life. This pregnancy will end either in a miscarriage, a still birth or in the best case scenario the baby will live a few hours to a few days in the hospital. I've been bleeding since my 5th week, so the situation had already been touch and go. So, I can really relate. I truly believe that you need to do what you feel is right. I truly don't think any choice families make given this diagnosis is going to be a good one. No matter what we do, we'll be filled with pain, sadness, fear and guilt. Every single option is a horrible one. So, my only advice is to do what you feel is best for you and your partner. Don't make a decision based on what you think will make the pain, sadness and/or guilt go away, because I don't think that any choice will make all of those things go away. We're going to make a decision based on what we think is best for us both emotionally and physically at this time, but no matter what course is taken, the end is pretty bleak. I feel so much for all that you're going through, just know that I'm going through the very same thing at this time. Please feel free to send me a personal email if you want to be in touch. I'd never heard about anyone I know facing this situation before, so I'm hoping this discussion forum will help. I think it's only natural to feel isolated and alone, that's how I've been feeling a lot lately. It's still hard for me to believe this is really happening to me. Take very good care, and know that you have support out there from many of us.
