This is what we are possibly facing when we find out the results of mine and DH blood tests. I have done some reading and I know there is a higher risk of carriers have a M/C has anyone else got a balanced translocation with their Chromosomes?

yes my partner carries this. We have had 2 'official' miscarriages and one where I didn't know I was pregnant, and I also suspect a failed implantation last year too.

It sucks donkey bum, but if I'm honest it helped a heap finding out why I kept losing pregnancies. We're doing ivf with pgd in the next couple of months, PM me if your tests come back with someone as a carrier. There's also a google group on this which is really good

3x miscarriages, balanced translocation likely culprit.
