It wasn't meant to be
We got the results back today on the genetic testing that was done on the baby.
It turns out that the baby had 69 chromosomes. You're supposed to have 46, 23 from each parent.
In other words, there was a whole extra set of chromosomes.
This is good news. It means it was just an accident and that Dr. Torrie and I don't have any genetic mutations.
My doctor cleared us to start trying again, when we're ready.

That is great news. 69 chromosomes for real? It sounds record setting.

that is wonderful news - to know it wasn't anything you did or could have done better - I hope this brings you the peace that you need to start again :)

Torrie,
I knew it was never anything you did. It just happens sometimes. Its not fair, its horrible and it sucks!
Now, your mind is at peace and thats what matters. Relax, and follow the doctors orders!

Wow, it is amazing to see how Mother Nature wouldn't let the pregnancy continue considering the amount of chromosomes. It sort of makes you wonder how many people this happens to and they don't even know it. I am glad that there is nothing else wrong and that you can begin trying again when you are ready.
