Blood lab results, round 2: finally, some good news!

Dr. Gross emailed me today. The karyotype serum test results are back: negative for Fragile X and the rest of the karyotype looks normal!

After a very long, frustrating day at work, combined with some other shitty news I got at lunch about some other financial related things, this news has been a welcome relief. This means there is an infinitesimally small chance I can still have my own genetic children! I can hardly believe it right now. I have a lot of work to do- I’ve got a ton of weight to lose and some other things to get in check, namely my thyroid disease; but there’s a chance that my one remaining ovary just might have some eggs left in her, and we might be able to coax them out when we we’re ready to TTC. I think there are still going to be issues in that we won’t be able to make a baby the old fashioned way, but I’ve pretty much accepted that fact.

The news that I might be able to have a child that is partly genetically mine is so… fantastic. It’s overwhelming. I have hope again. I haven’t felt anything, really, for weeks and now – something positive.

We have an enormously long way to go, but at least we’ve got this small hope that I might have eggs left.
