I have been having 3 recurrent miscarriages! I’m currently in doctors office to get our fetal tissue tested! What other testings would you recommend us to do please? I want to make sure everything works fine the next time!

❤❤ Thank you.

I been married for 6yrs nd I recently got pregnant at my 6th marriage anniversary.I went to scan on my 6th week of my pregnancy doctor told me that only sac was formed and I felt so heartbreaking .and agin I did 8 week scan baby is healthy thankyou God

I had my first ultra sound at 8 weeks, the baby was there, then today 13 weeks the sack is empty. Very heartbroken. Didn't know this was possible.

can you make a follow up with how your salary has changed, now in 2024

I have no yolk or fetal pole in my ultrasound. I’m waiting on my next dr appointment to see if my hcg levels went down.

Great video, My wife NIPT came back as assay results are consistent with a partial deletion of the Y chromosome.Hope it is false positive

So helpful. Going through this now and I’ve had 2 doses of medication and nothing is passing out😢. What did you do in the instance where 4 doses of medication was given n nothing happened. Was a DnC done or did it eventually pass out. I’m worried about infection.

Know what you mean i lost my son at 19 weeks because my cervix dilated too soon . Even a ultrasound 1 hour before it happened he was fine 😢

Im amazed how many of us saying" im going through this " well i had to search this video to find information coz the doctor gave me the pill this morning i needed to know and I was hoping to discover that the baby was maybe outside of the sac 'for some reason 🙄' its hard bt it seems the process is still long... Thanks for the video

2024 my angel baby I wanted u this is what I’m going through lady’s right now but we all don’t deserve this it horrible knowing u loved ur baby’s so much wanted them in this can happen unfair to us all thanks this helped me my baby I don’t care if was there would b my we star love u in wanted this baby so much after 16 yrs trying finally then this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I have four professirs who agreed to write me letters. However another said he would with reservation.

I have an interview with my first choice tomorrow😳

That same thing happened to me with one of my miscarriages. I ended up taking misoprostol three times to avoid a D & C and nothing happened so I had to have the medical procedure anyway.

I applied for a GC program and interviewed at one of the programs. This program only allowed 7 applicants into their program a year so it was insanely competitive. But I didn’t match and the alternate one offered to me was not in a state my husband could work in. So, I decided to walk away. This is a competitive field and I didn’t want to wait possibly one or more years to get into programs. I was devastated and didn’t know what career choice to do now. I looked into speech language pathology programs, sign language interpreting careers, and fortunately after all my research efforts I found my dream career. This career was EXACTLY the career I had been searching for when I had applied for GC programs. Currently I’m getting my masters in Applied Behavior Analysis and I’m specializing in Autism studies. Like I said, THIS is my dream career and fits the vision I have had as a career all along. I am absolutely in love with this field and so thankful I didn’t get into GC programs because I think this is a much better fit for what I want to do. I wanted a job where I could be more hands on with families of loved ones diagnosed with genetic diseases and this career really allows me to do that. So, don’t be discouraged if you didn’t get in. I interviewed people who said to took them 3 years or less to get into a GC program. So, it’s definitely doable! If this is something you love keep going! But if you feel there may be something out there for you that better fits your career aspirations, don’t be afraid to explore those options! Best of luck everyone!!

Thank you so much! That was really informative! Would you please send the list of programs which get international student?

Hi Katie, do you offer consultation for people that want to become a Genetic Counselor? I have a BA in Biology from a different country with 3.0 GPA and mostly customer service experience throughout my life, I also have experience in Education and volunteer with people with disabilities. I would like to know if I have a chance to get into the MA Genetic Counseling because from all the videos I've watched on your Channel the impression I have is that people even better prepared than me weren't able to get into the programs.

Thanks for your videos. I've been rewatching them because they resonate so much. Can I ask if you had pregnancy symptoms with your successful pregnancy vs. the others?

Today marks week 8, and our first ultrasound was week 6. Both seem to indicate an empty sac, but I continue to have pregnancy symptoms. I can't bring myself to start medication or DnC. This was supposed to be my first kid. We had all gotten prepared and excited only to learn it was all for nothing. I feel hopeless.

In 1994 at 30yrs, I had ultrasound. At first they said it's triplets! Almost immediately she said it's 1 embryo and 2 blighted ovums. All I understood was 1 baby. I had alot of spotting in the beginning but gave premature birth to a baby girl. Why/how did this happen?

When are prompts usually listed up?

Can you pass it naturally without the pills and surgery

😢😢Exactly what I was going through few days ago they did TFMR I was diagnosed with Blighted Ovum

I am 33 weeks, was told the baby gender , I would feel movements then today I was diagnosed with blighted ovum 😢

How has the career changed over time? School requirements; seems like it's on the same professional level as PA, PT. Correct?

Back in the day (1970s), I really wanted to pursue this career. However, most, if not all GCs were MDs, PhDs or both. What's it like now? A MS or something similar?

I went through this a few years ago found out I was pregnant on Halloween I proceeded to have sex and shortly after I started bleeding went to the er they confirmed that I was pregnant but the sac was empty I was depressed and devastated not understanding why had to get D&C and it made me feel worse unfortunately I was later told I wasn’t gonna be able to have kids and ended up having a hysterectomy yrs later because I just could get pregnant or if I did get pregnant I would have a miscarriage I had 3 miscarriages and gave up 😢

I’m experiencing my first blighted ovum at 21 years old. I went to my doctor’s appointment just yesterday and hearing or seeing no heartbeat broke my heart completely. They couldn’t really determine whether it really is a miscarriage because I’m too early in but this would have been my second child which by now there should be a heartbeat at 6 weeks. I scheduled another appointment in two weeks to have another ultrasound and determine whether it really is a pregnancy loss but i know in my heart that it truly is… I feel like my world is crashing down. I feel like I’ve lost another life and it’s so hard moving forward without having to know more details about the baby…. I just hope he/she didn’t go through pain and they’re happy where ever they are now…

Katie, We are just getting started in the college process. My daughter has been accepted at 5 colleges and we are still waiting on 2 more. She plans to get a Undergrad degree in Biology and then apply for Grad School. Our thinking for a biology degree would be a hedge bet just in case she doens't like the genetics classes. Our focus for Undergrad has been for schools that have a R1 designation, but one of the schools that we really like and anticipate to get good merit from is not an R1 designated school, however they boast about hands-on in the laboratory and in the field, and internationally recognized for teaching and research strengths in emerging areas ranging from molecular to global biology. Our question is in your opinion do you think it matters whether we attend a R1 university vs a non R1 university? I might add one more tidbit, Option #2 has the Graduate program for Genetics so we were thinking that it may be easier to get accepted being an alumnus.

'Promo sm' 🌸

Thanks for the video. Why the result does not show the sensitivity or specificity of XXX, XXY, XYY? And how they came up with its PPV?

Thanks for this video, I went through this yesterday, manual vagina evacuation was performed.

Should we state whether a meeting or event was in person or virtual?

You can use the word “baby”. It’s ok. It’s a PERSON we’re talking about when there’s a pregnancy. It’s a baby.

I agree it's rough when u have miscarriages back to back. I'm worried myself..... after ectopic years ago. But I've been pregnant at a young age.... 15 exactly. I'm 27 now today I'm 9 days late... I also haven't tested.... nor do I want toooo.... I believe I miscarriage this year again. Painful. Thanks for sharing... I would love to get the wheel. ❤❤❤right on.... true. Due date goodluck.

@Katieleecgctalksgeneticcou6248 hello and congratulations, I was supposed to have my period 4 days ago but it never came i took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative, i stil dont feel as if im going to have a period or anything i have been having a lot of symptoms of pregnancy any suggestions on what i should do now ?

I am so called 6 weeks pregnant they told me at the ER and they can’t see the baby is it because I’m still earlier but a week or two I was bleeding but he says to see my ob/gyn to see if it’s true I had a miscarriage or not but other hospital says I’m super early. I did a another pregnancy test and it still says pregnant what can it be

We tried for five years then had three back to back very very early chemical pregnancies, followed by our first clinical pregnancy miscarried at 9 weeks. Getting pregnant was something we looked forward to for so long, now to know we will never be able to have a joyful and excited pregnancy is hard. It feels like infertility is slowly taking everything from me.

I had an ultrasound and the baby measured 6 weeks with fetal pole and yolk sack. Then my next ultrasound at 11 weeks showed an empty sack. My body reabsorbed the baby. Then the actual miscarriage happened the other day. My poor man saw the mess as it happened. We are both saddened.

I should be 6+3, but GS size is 0,69cm so ab 5+1. no yok sac or baby. I’ve had no bleeding. I’ve taken blood test but haven’t got my results. Is it still hope? My period was 12.july, fertile 25.july, light positive 6.aug and dark positive 15.aug. Very positive clearblue rapid test today 27.aug

I just found out about genetic counseling. I was thinking of switching my career path as I was originally planning on getting a PhD in Neuroscience. I am an alumni from UCSD (great school) with a degree in neurobiology, a 3.51 GPA, Hispanic (I don't know if this actually matters haha), and have worked as research associate at a molecular lab. It seems rather difficult to find in-depth admission stats for GC programs, but given my background do you think I could have a chance at getting into one GC program? Unfortunately, I haven't shadowed any professionals on the field but I am planning on contacting a few genetic counselors to see if that would be an option. Thank you so much!

I had an ectopic in January and a chemical in May. I am still trying again and every month that I get my cycle it is like PTSD. I am so sad that I close off myself and have bits of suicidal thought. It gets a little better whenever the cycle stops. It has been the most emotional time of my life and I have gone through some crazy things. I can totally see how emotional cushioning it can be if ever get pregnant after losses.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I really wanted to get testing done and wasn’t sure how to go about that or what to ask for, so this was just the video I needed! Our baby was measuring 6 weeks, 1 day on the day I started having cramping and heavy bleeding. We saw the heartbeat (it was low at 90 bpm) 3 days before. A whole ELEVEN days later I have passed what I believe is the embryo + gestational sac. I thought I must have passed it without noticing because so much time had passed. So thankful to at least have a chance to find out what sex and how many chromosomes! Btw this is my second miscarriage. I was not able to identify what part was the baby in the first miscarriage.

What about when you are doing IVF and continuously get a blighted ovum or chemical pregnancy then what? It’s extremely frustrating especially when you’re using PGT tested high-grade embryos, but yet this happens over and over again.

I have 2 sacs one is empty But I never had any symptoms of miscarriage

are you able to expand on specific experiences in applicants that stood out to you? I am currently working in behavioral health in a clinical setting, have previously worked as an administrative assistant at a home health care business and as a barista at starbucks, I have a bachelors in biology and concentrated my upper level course work on genetics and I still am not even getting the time of day from employers hiring GCAs in my area! I know the roles are extremely competitive so I am looking for experiences to help me be a more desirable and qualified applicant!

This happened to me over the weekend. Started bleeding 4 days ago. Progressively got worse. Went to my OB and she said my uterus was empty. No sac no embryo. Nothing. Must have past it over the weekend? Apparently I don’t need mediation or procedure because there is nothing there. I’m not sad or happy. Just kind of shrug my shoulders and hope it doesn’t happen again. I was supposed to be 6 weeks today. Started bleeding around 5 weeks 4 days after intercourse.

I’m so happy seeing this video. I had an embryonic pregnancy but my worry is will I get pregnant or be able to have children again? Is there any chance for me because have not heard anyone who when through child birth testimony.

I think this is happening to me right now. I have to go back for a second scan on Wednesday but, the sac looked empty to me. The Dr. wanted to wait a week to confirm

hiee i really like your videos can you tell me some GC programs that are in germany ?
