Turner Syndrome Support Group
Turner syndrome encompasses a number of chromosomal abnormalities, of which monosomy X, is the most common. It occurs in 1 out of every 2,500 female births. Instead of the normal XX sex chromosomes for a female, only one X chromosome is present and fully functional. In Turner syndrome, female sexual characteristics are present but underdeveloped.
Hello, I am 19 years old and I, of course, plan to have children someday. So I'm going to ask the question on here everybody might be afraid to ask but can someone with TS have a completely normal and natural pregnancy? And if they can't what are the other opitions that are avalible to me? A answer would be greatly apprecaited so I can better understand what to expect in my future when wanting kids, thank you.
I am 20 and was diagnosed at 16 when I was informed by my doctor that, unfortunately, those with T.S. are infertile. In regards to options I know there is the possibility of egg dononations and in vitro fertilization, which has shown successes, though I have also been told that those with T.S. who become pregnant are at higher risk for miscarriages and other complications. The other option that I know is to adopt.
hope this helps!
