Darlene and Megan,

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I was touched by them. As for doing it by myself, well I had the love of my family and some good friends who have helped enormously thoughout!

Well I have to share this with everyone...... I got the genetic blood tests back this morning! I have been waiting for 6 weeks for the results and I just found it quite strange  that the results came the day after I found your board! It’s great news! This is an excert from the letter:-

The results of your blood test Kate show that you are a carrier. Your partner Adrian has been tested for the most common faults in the 21 hydroxylase deficiency gene and found none of them to be present. This reduces your carrier risk from the population risk of 1 in 50 to 1 in 64. This means that your combined risk of having a child with 21 hydroxylase deficiency is small.

We are both VERY happy with the news. All we have to do now is decide when we will start trying for a baby.

I know this is gong to sound very bizarre......but it will be quite strange for me. Both my babies have needed so much care over the years and I don’t know any different. It will seem quite strange  not to have to give the medicine etc.........

Anyway enough of my ramblings.....I just wanted to say thanks and to share my news!!

Regards

Kate
