Some closure

The pathology reports came in from the fetal tissue, and the miscarriage was caused by a chromosomal abnormality called full trisomy 16. This is "good" news if there's a way to look at the bright side of all this. Full trisomy 16 is basically a fluke that occurs when conception takes place. This is the most common reason for miscarriage in the first trimester. The odds of this happening again are slim to none. In a nutshell, there was no way to cause or to avoid such a miscarriage, it was determined when sperm met egg. However, just to rule out any genetic or auto-immune issues, we have some tests to complete to set our minds at ease for the next go round.
