Technically speaking, the percentages are as follows (depending on which chromosomes match with which):
Good:
- 25% normal, healthy baby
- 25% chance of baby having the same Balanced Translocation in their DNA as me
Bad:
- 25% chance of okay chromosome 3 matching with chromosome 15 that has a piece of 3 on it - this is what happened with last pregnancy and may miscarry, but will most likely have to terminate again
- 25% chance of okay chromosome 15 matching with chromosome 3 that has a piece of 15 on it - doctor feels this option will miscarry very early (so early, I won't even know I was pregnant, as in it won't even implant)
Unfortunately, as the doctor explained, it isn't quite this 'clearcut'. For whatever reason, women will generally either hit the 'good' options around 75%-80%... or hit the 'bad' options around 75%-80%. He said the worst case situation of what he has personally seen, is a couple who had 5 miscarriages before they got a baby.
I am honestly going around and around in circles right now...
