Question

I have had two pregnancies, one resulting in a spontaneous abortion, and the other in a pregnancy with poor growth and development, ending in an abortion. After chromosome testing, the male’s Y chromosome is larger than the 18th chromosome. What should I do in this situation? Can I still have a baby? What are the chances of a normal pregnancy?

Answer

This is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities in males, known as the “large Y” chromosome. This abnormality results in a much longer chromosome than normal and does not have a clear genetic pattern. In this case, the risk of spontaneous abortion is significantly increased. Due to chromosomal abnormalities, natural conception may be more difficult. It is advisable to seek professional medical assistance, such as through in vitro fertilization techniques for treatment, which can increase the chances of successful pregnancy and achieve optimal childbearing. Consider undergoing the third-generation in vitro fertilization to screen the chromosomal status of embryos.
