My husband and I have been trying to have children for about3 years. We have, so far, had 2 miscarriages. After having the last miscarriage (November 27th, 07) my insurance company agreed to pay for us to have testing done. The tests came back stating that I tested inconclusive on two forms of blood clotting tests (not real clear on this one) and, the devistating part, my husband has a riciprocal balanced translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22. All of the research that I have found on this states that we are not likely to have a healthy baby, if we get to have one at all. The report from the lab stated that we had a very significant chance of having a child with abnormalities. I was hoping that you could enlighten us on this problem. I am unsure to what are chances truely are. Do we have any options (of us having our own child)? The exact diagnosis: 4,XY,t(11;22)(q23;q11.2) abnormal male kartotype. It states the breadpoints are at band 11q3 and 22q11.2. I am not real clear as to what all of this means however if you can enlighten us in any way we would be very greatful. Also is it bad to test inconclusive to blood disorders?
