Pathology results

We got our pathology report from the second miscarriage yesterday. It wasn't another molar, which is great, but it was Trisomy 16 (three, instead of two, chromosomes 16). My doctor said that chromosomal issues are usually related to mother's age and once you have one, future pregnancies are kind of hit or miss. From my own research it seems that it is another "fluke" that does not have any bearing on the next pregnancies (maybe we should play a lottery?). Apparently Trisomy 16 is "responsible" for majority of first-trimester miscarriages. We are clear to try again in December but we decided not to wait. We won't be trying very hard this month but will definitely start in October. Third time is supposed to be a charm, right?
