I don't believe I wrote much about our latest visit to a new genetic counselor. She was by far my favorite (third time was the charm I guess), because for once I sat before someone who didn't roll their eyes everytime I tried to get a word in edgewise. She also referred to Celine as "your daughter." Thank you so much for that GC number 3.
I asked if she *ever* had a patient before her with a history like mine, and she said, "sadly, I have." And she didn't elaborate. But she absolutely believed that given the near impossible odds of experiencing a partial molar pregnancy and a Giant Omphalocele something else was going on. And thank god, she understood the severity of our daughter's, what a difference that made, no judgement at all for your heartbreaking choice justonemore. Unfortunately, it's not something that can currently be tested for, and I am making the right decision - in her eyes - to take my genetics out of it. "AMA women are at higher risk of aneuploidy, and some of your losses reflect that. But something isn't right even at 40 to have a loss history like this. And I don't actually believe bad luck is all that's happening in your case. You're right to turn to donor eggs to try to take whatever it is out of the equation."
She sounds awesome!
