Edwards syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. It is the second most common autosomal trisomy, after Down syndrome, that carries to term.
Edwards syndrome is caused by the presence of three – as opposed to two – copies of chromosome 18 in a fetus's or infant's cells. Edwards' syndrome occurs in around one in 6,000 live births and around 80 per cent of those affected are female. The majority of fetuses with the syndrome die before birth. The syndrome has a very low rate of survival, resulting from heart abnormalities, kidney malformations, and other internal organ disorders.
So glad she didn't make it past a 4 cell embryo!
I think there are a number of people that fall pregnant, and never find out the embryo has this, as it only lives for days and the lady get her AF and thinks she didnt fall that month, when really she did. The plus or down down side of HT, as you know it happened.

Oh the joys of CM....it is so confusing! I've had it on and off in all types and colors since ovulating. Which I usually have none. I don't want to read too much into it but I did take a mental note about it.
I'm 8dpo and had crazy dreams last night that I took several tests (to be sure) and that they were all BFP's....so I retardedly took one this morning thinking the dreams might be a "sign" and it was a BFN, of course. Not surprised. AF is due tomorrow and I have had backaches on and off for awhile.Booo.
toomanyboys~ I say you tell DH you'll find a new donor next time!LOL You still have a chance with the cut off!!! GL!
Good luck to everyone waiting to test!!!Now SIXbabies!

Hi Ladies, I am now 4DPO and had the most stressful month TTC so not sure which way this could go....
We moved into my parents house for 4 weeks which having major work done on our house so BDing has been a challenge! We moved back in to our house on Friday and I think I ovualated Saturday night. We managed to DTD on the Tuesday prior to O (told my parents we were going home to start tidying up!). We then also DTD Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night.
I have also had really bad flu and have still got a sore throat so I am hoping that will aid my sway as well!
Time will tell, no symptoms to obsess over yet!
Sweetsister, looking good cycle buddy, have my fingers crossed for you!
GL to everyone else testing. xx- January 2008,

well i am actually 3dpo today (O'd sometime monday evening or early tuesday)...having tingled boobs....but what i am surprised about is that i have that feeling you have when your 3 months gone and your body is beginning to strech in the uterus area....like i have this pulling streching sensation on my sides and i also had very strong AF type cramps today....i am not sure what that is all about...but i suppose taking the progestrone might be the cause of that.......i am convinced that in reality i am out since i didnt BD around O instead had a 3-4 day cut off.....i had very strong significant pains O pains this month probably maybe the best may have ended up with multiples maybe as i was so so sore on O day and at 1dpo.
i think it will be a miracle if i am pregnant this month..but i wish everyone more positive thoughts for their attempt......god be with you.....and Fx for everyone in the 2ww!!!!
