Update Miracle is 6 years old and a joy to have n yes she struggles with math but every other subject she’s doing great n most of the other kids in her class are taller than her but they love her and she loves school she’s in the 1st grade now 🤞🏾
I'm so happy for her and you. I wish her all the best!
Hallelujah!! 🙌
Hope she grows up to be happy and healthy:)
I struggled with math too
Hope she will have a good life ahead
My daughter is 2 years old and she has Turner syndrome I found out when I was 6 months pregnant during a ultrasound. The doctors suggested that I get rid of her but I declined the offer and I'm glad I did. She's a beautiful little girl and I named her Miracle 👼🏾 she has heart problems and she was 4 lbs when she was born and I carried her full term but that was because of the turner she 2 and wears 12 months clothes but she's soooo cute and I'm just grateful to have her in my life. Thanks for making the video 😘
here is the good I can tell you...Your baby will be small, but she will grow to accomplish amazing things. :-)
I myself have Turners syndrome and have Graduated college with 3 different professional degrees....it doesn't keep anyone from a normal life. there are some difficulties with learning, but these can be solved with good educators and time( most girls with TS are bad at math but are extremely intellectually gifted with reading and writing)
i also have terner sndroyome want to be friends?
So glad you decided to keep her! She can live a pretty normal life! I have Turners as well and am very happy. I bet your daughter is beautiful!
You are a great mom
Pocketmouse1991 my pregnancy didn't make it but she had Turner's. I am so so happy you exist. Sending love!!
I have turners, and I was diagnosed at 9 months with mosaic. I started oestrogen about a month or two ago, and I'm beginning to see signs of results. I've never had a period, and all my girl friends tell me how lucky I am. I've only ever gotten to meet other turner girls one time at a Turner syndrome meet, and it was amazing getting to finally meet others like me. I couldn't stay in touch with any though, so I hope one day I'll get to meet and become friends with another turner girl my age.
I was also told that I was lucky that didn’t have a period. Now I do because I had to start the hormones therapy because it was effecting my bones. I started having osteoporosis. I recommend taking it.
My niece has Turners and she is absolutely gorgeous also!! She has the most beautiful skin!! This baby is gorgeous, love the look in her eyes. She just so very precious 💖
My sister has Turners, and she had problems with her heart for a few years, and is super... super short. She ran for her 6th grade senator thing, and her campaign slogans were based on her height. She's adorable and hilarious
I wasn't diagnosed with mosaic Turner syndrome until I turned 50 (!) - despite idiopathic short stature and absence of puberty. The Danish health care system just didn't care!
I developed an anxiety disorder and anorexia nervosa when I was 13, and the Danish health care system thought that the anorexia was the cause of my short stature and my absence of puberty. I was hospitalized 12 months because of my anorexia.
But the low levels of my gonadotropic hormones, as FSH and LH, were caused by hypopituitarism due to a very small pituitary gland, not by anorexia nervosa.
I was born as a fraternal (non-identical) twin. I am 20 cm (about 8 inches) shorter than my twin sister (who had a normal puberty and menarche when she was 13).
I am sure that the undiagnosed and untreated Turner syndrome was the cause of both my anxiety disorder and my eating disorder.
The lack of diagnosis and of treatment has had a huge and negative impact on my whole life.
thank you for this informative video! I have Turner Syndrome and I love to see this condition become more well known and awareness of it spread.
I have turner syndrome. I am from Chile where there wasnt much knowledge about it back then. I'm 15 and i'm 4,3. I was bullied for my short height and it affected my confidence. Now, is still something i struggle but thanks to my more that gave me the strengh to survive the pregnancy and then letting me know that no matter what they say, i'm cappable has been fundamental. If you reading this has Turner Syndrome, i want you to know you're a little warrior ❤ you have been through so much but you continue to live happy everyday. People have made you feel like you don't fit in but youre sooo strong. 💗💗💗 keep going.
My sister has it and is literally an angel on earth never any problems and is the kindest person
I got the same problem today my friend
thank you for providing a 27 year told turners woman with a way to explain what is happening to me as I live each day
why did you stop posting videos? your videos are amazing and your explanation is PERFECT!
+Mohammed Khabori Sorry for the delay Mohammed! We're working on more videos but it takes time to make them, and we're kept busy with our clinical day jobs!
+HealthSketch ohh so sorry i thought you were a full time youtuber my bad. Looking forward to the new videos. Thanks again and good luck saving patients lives !
i have it can you answer why do we get it please
sofia Halling They did, it happens randomly
yes
Thank you for this amazing video. My niece has Turner syndrome, this video was very informative.
these videos are very helpful. my little step sister has turners syndrome and this helped me understand a lot. you should defiantly make more.
I have Turners, and it was not discovered by my doctors till I was 34. I am 4' 10" ish, and mine is mosaic. So a lot of the health issues didn't happen until I was in my 30's. I had a coarctation of the aorta that was discovered and fixed through heart surgery at 8 yrs. old. And I hear from my team of specialists that having a muscle wrapped around your aorta with Turner's Syndrome can be common. I believe it may be a good addition to bring that up when talking about girls who are born with this Syndrome. Overall I think it was a great and simple explanation for such a vastly different experience for those affected. Thank you for this video.
Lynda Wood Thanks Lynda! Indeed you are lucky. It is great to know early for sure. But I am glad I ran a cross a doctor that found it :-) Wishing you all the best. My email is KatieJoJohnsonProductions@gmail.com if you ever need to chat. Kate
Katie Johnson are you both friends now?
I have Mosaic too
Mine is also Mosaic
What is mosaic please ?
When I was in the womb I was diagnosed with Down syndrome, but they did tests and found out I was a Turner, but they still asked my mother if she wanted to take me out of this world, she declined, I’m now 13, 4,7, taller than most turners, and on a patch to have a period, I love life, decently smart, I get bullied for my height but I don’t let that affect me, don’t let Turner define you, , let you define Turner!
I am a turner and proud
Jadelyn White me 2

I love that someone is willing to talk about it I have turner syndrome

I have Turner Syndrome, and was diagnosed before birth. I had a heart surgery when I was 10 days old, kidney when I was 8 or so, I forgot that when I had it, it's been a long time sense I've had it. Neck when I was 10 years old. I take a patch, thyroid meds, and omnitrope. I'm a happy 11 year old! 💖
aqueens12 you're beautiful btw
You are lucky i was diagnosed at age of 18 it was a bad moment
I have turner syndrome and I am happen with it because it makes me feel special!In fact,I was diagnosed with it when I was 13 and I am growing taller:) after I started taking growth hormone and I started having my period!So don't feel bad if you have it,only 2% with turner syndrome survived to be born!you are the 2% lucky ones!
I have klinefelter syndrome and I live Bitter and sad i am very ugly deformed body and no woman wants me although i yearn for love and sex of the opposite sexBitter and sad i am very ugly deformed body and no woman wants me although i yearn for love and sex of the opposite sex Definitely nature is more benevolent to women when it comes to offering sexual and loving partners
Thank you so much. I have learned so much from watching this video

Thank you 🙏
Thank you that was so nice from you wherever i still always love my self and I will never give up💪💪💪
thank you
you made it so simple-ur videos r amazing......please make some more videos
that was really on point great job : )
I remember finding out I had it when I was 6 and my parents told me. I was like "Am I still a girl?" XD
XD
Somebody on TH-cam said “there are only two genders XY and XX” i was like then what am i??!! 😂😂
I was not really told till later though
@@elsie1327 I know. I have mosaic turners and that bothers me as well. I am female. I was born female, look female and identify as such. Gender and biological sex is not strictly determined by being xx or xy.
@Josh the Art Critic XD Thanks, I know that now. I felt embarrassed when someone asked me the same question when I was giving a presentation.
After 31 years, I found out my mother has this. She never told us (children) but it seems as though everyone else knew. I'm just now learning about it.
Hol up? How did she even have this if she's infertile?
@@RockinRocketScience ...Adoption
I have TS, we have known sense I was born. I have heart problems and got a mechanical valve July 2017. I’m only 4’8 and 19 rn. I’m done growing. I’m very clumsy, horrible at math, and struggling with learning how to drive. I have periods, but they will probably stop soon. I kinda wanted kids later in life. It’s a real struggle especially on my self esteem. My own fam doesn’t really get it.
I bet you are the sweetest person! Short means you. Have to stand in your tippy toes to kiss your prince. I always thought that would be nice instead of being too tall. I bet you have amazing talents!
I love how they explained the options for having a baby. Never give up hope. 💕 maybe some day your family will ‘ get it’ until then -remember that you are a daughter of God. That makes you a princess !!!
I have it too it is not fun😔
Thank you very much 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 very informative vedio , and easy to understand 👍🏼
I like the refresher. My kid is 14 so we have been managing this for a while now. She has started the hormonal growth therapy. Almost daily shots so between that and the cost ( thank goodness for the financial assistance) we have our hands full. It's still pretty early in development but Doc said might have to start the estrogen treatment if she wants to hv a shot at kids and more adult development. She did have open heart surgery as a baby,she did great!. And another one if in the near horizon as she grows into an "adult sized heart" Doc says. Not looking forward to that one. The impact definitely feels different.
thanks for this video!
Great thanks be to Dr Henry turner for his nice work in 20 Th century.
This was helpful thanks so much.
I have turners syndrome and I love it
I was recently diagnosed with Turner Syndrome (im 14).
I dont feel any different or sick and i have a pretty normal life and i have good grades.
However, i am very clearly physically different from other girls my age and i have always had health issues. I have also been far behind on periods and girl issues when everyone in my class and my age has already had them.
Girl, you must be having a genetic defect... cuz you sure are a head turner 💀❤️
Is that bad to use as a pickup line on a Turner girl? Please I'm sorry if it's offensive, I'm just trying to set a chill vibe idk if it is offensive.
@@happy__human LMAO no it’s not offensive ❤️😭 I’ve never had someone use a pick-up line. That’s a good one tho
@@trevor_scott lol
@@Kay3Kay3 Me too. As a TS patient I also didn't feel different or sick except in my looks due to my short stature and not getting my period until I was on HRT at 13/14.
I have not been diagnosed with TS yet (waiting on specialist referral approval) but doing my research and educating myself I am 99.5% sure I have TS. Thank God nothing is wrong with my organs and their functions but I do have the symptoms. I hope to get my answer soon so I can inform my parents and future spouse. I’m 24 almost 25. My whole life I thought I had Noonan Syndrome.
I have turner syndrome and i needed a better explaination and I had Turner syndrome since I was 8
well, you and me,
Very nicely explained
thanks i will tell them and the teachers at school
Thank you from INDIA❤️🌿

Do you have subscription courses for medical students.. I want to register with you online
Hey I searched up my symptoms and this came up, if anyone can tell me if my symptoms match with THERES? I have heart disease, I was born purple probably dead lol. My growth is 4,9, constant bone pain, headaches, hair loss recently and I feel a ball or bump in my neck after eating.
Im a 66yr old turner syndrome beautiful lady in South Africa with 3 normal sisters it has been a real challenge at times as medical technology was not so advanced during the time the late 1960 but medical technology has advanced so much that all i can say is that lm a super proud turner syndrome lady that has all the affects having late treatment but am enjoying and crlebrating everyday as a special Turner Syndrome princess 🎉❤😊😊
I learn it and thnx ❤️
Very nice
Helpful ☺
I have turners and have some of these symptoms. I have a growth difficulty and have to take a growth hormone shot each night X( And My white blood cells are over killing my thyroid cells...But I think I'm smart..I have A's and B's in school....
But yet I'm wasting my time on youtube, goodie
SAME
I should be taller
I have ts and the only symtoms i have is being short my herat thyrods is good and liver so im very lucky ❤
I am 39 nearly 40 and have Turner Mosaic syndrome. I was diagnosed when I was about 14. I also have cerebral palsy, A liver shunt and nodules on the liver. I have been unable to have hormone replacement therapy because the nodules on my liver feed on oestrogen and grow. This Means that I now also have osteoporosis. And just for good measure I also have tinnitus. I’m telling you all this because you might want to know for research purposes. If you want to know anything else just message me back. I’m happy to tell you anything you might want to know if it will help expand your knowledge.
So who created the codes??
I was diagnosed with turner syndrome since I was born and I'm so insecure of my self for having a short height.😩
Great thx
Some peole may have period it depends on their body i have tuner syndrome and im waiting to see wheb will i get my period plus if you get the estorgen pills youll get them etheir way so its up to your body and how much estorgen it makes
I have Turner Syndrome :) It's the reason I can't have babies, and why my hubby and I are starting the process to adop, and considering going through ivf. We decided we wanted to document our infertility journey on our chanell here on youtube!
مرحبا اتمنى انك رزقتي بطفل
Con gái mình bị bện lý turner này nhưng mới 2tuổI . Bạn có thể cho mình biết về bệnh này được k ạ
Yup it was helpful
My sister has just been diagnosed Turner syndrome and she is nearly 11
I have TS and my parents found out when I was about 3 and I do not have many of the symptoms i see cardiologists, and the doctor that found out I have TS but I also have this weird thing with my legs they are curved so I also see a doctor for that and that doctor is helping me boost my self-esteem by do surgery to straight my legs I had only the left one done and in the middle of recovery from the right leg and now that I am 10 the doctor that found out I have TS said since I can’t hit puberty on my own I have to use progesterone and for my shortness I have to get hormone shots on my arm everyday
I wasn’t diagnosed with this until I was 15.
thanks
I have turner syndrome and i have difficultlys growing and also I struggle in math but the rest like the heart problems and kidney problem's I don't have.
I don't like it because I'm the one with it :( *crys*🤧😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And I'm really 😭
Don't be sad! I have it too and barely think about it anymore! Turners is not the end of the world. I know it's hard to deal at first. I'm 18 and nobody notices. It might be hard now and there might be bullying for being short but you know what? You'll laugh at it later and most of those people will grow up and stop being childish. They will realize how awesome you are. Have a good friend group. Pray to God and talk to him. Jesus will always help you get through it! You are beautiful to him! If you ever want to talk let me know.
Not alone I'm here too

Why are you on this video...? For educational reasons or just to mock innocent people. Rude bitch

thanks :)
I am 21 years old and just found out I have turners syndrome. My life makes so much sense now
I just found out too. And I’m 22 I’m right there with you. It’s crazy how it all falls into place.
I’m 20 and found out now
It’s been tough all those years I’ve been struggling to keep up wid my friends and still hard to digest
Hi po Good morning can I Barrow this Vedio po? I will use this for my Report in class hope you are kind ❤️ thanks Ang Godbless 💕
Tiếng anh coi không hiểu ..em có người nhà có chứng bệnh này .không biết phải làm sao nua
I've recently been diagnosed with this sydrome. I'm just glad I wouldnt have my period instantly lol
Good for you for me is not simple
Do you have any health problem?
I have Turner syndrome and I was diagnosed when I was 4 because I was tiny
I was diagnosed when I was 19 I see my specialist in September….So I couldn’t get any growth hormones I was lucky I look pretty normal just a petite woman….right before my 21st I had my “ovaries” removed…they said it could become cancerous
i have turner síndrome as well but not so much i just look shorter than everyone else and if i do a ponytail if you look closely you can see i have a low hairline but that's ok the low hairline is fixable and no im NOT happy with it i have depression and anxiety because of it
Thanx
I am 17 years old .. I had my period when I was almost 12 years old and completely regular , but I am short my height is 153 cm , and my weight is 37 kg . My intelligence is very normal , and I look much younger than my age also my body showed no signs of puberty .. I do not have the rest of the symptoms. Can anyone help me to know if I have Turner syndrome ?
I have Turner Syndrome... I didn't find out till I was around 12 so for about half of my life I suffered from stunted growth from not knowing I had it.. I hope this syndrome can be more well known in the world so that people can know about it and Turner Syndrome girls can be diagnosed as early as possible in their life if there is a sign of short stature etc etc. Anyway, I hope that there can be a discovery of what really causes this Syndrome because its quite a sad thing to deal with.. the infertility aspect. Sure we can adopt but Infertility is very hard. K ty
i wad diagnosed to when i was twelf and it's not a easy but i totally agree with you it be more talk about i'm sorry if i spelled something wrong
I was newly diagnosed with turners and I'm 13 I'm very lucky and I have had very middle case I'm very short at 4'7 and I must likely can't have kids
I'm sorry to hear that you have this condition. On the bright side, you're only 13 so you'll be able to grow much taller with the help of growth hormone and you have your options for having kids. I'm glad you have a mild case.
I had Turner syndrome since I was 8
liz maybe u can try vitro . mys sister has turners and she doesn't know yet but i want to get as much info before i tell her i will donate an egg or do anything for her i love her to death
You are creative 🤍🤍🤍
I have Turner syndrome and I’m proud ☺️

I have TS and I only found out this year and I am 14. I am taking growth hormones and am going to take oestrogen and progesterone within the next year.
oh, well, your luckey to have it found out isted of not knowing, okay?
sofia Halling True.
yeah, well, good luck,
you'll be getting shots, but you'll get used to it
I actually already take my growth hormones in injection form and have been for maybe 7 months now.
oh, well, for me, 7 years, sinch i was three years old, thats when i found out that i have it
I have this syndrome ..24 years still haven't got periods yet ... Can I get my periods .. doctors say i can . Please pray for me

+Odalis Velez Yes
Is breast growth normal in Turner syndrome
Since it affects the X chromosome how could there be any manifestations associated with turner syndrome given that females have two X chromosomes? Wouldn't her second X chromosome make up for the missing or altered one?
m.th-cam.com/video/LQCU36pkH7c/w-d-xo.html
I have Turner syndrome I found out when I was 16 years old it a small strain of it
If this was detected early (before many cell splits) could doctors just insert a second "X" chromosome?
BlueAcid9 Unfortunately, It is not possible because a single X chromosome is made up of DNA which contains more than 153 million base pairs(genes) having specific functions in the body. Being able to artificially synthesize chromosomes and make them function will mean, being able to create a human being.
@@umairsaleem222
Couldn't they just grab the "X" chromosome and insert it directly into the early cells of the fertilized egg, and then the cell replication will just make copies of the "X" for the others like normal?
My sis stopped taking hormones and still grew to a good height she probably would have been super tall though seeing i am 6'5
I have Turner's. Have anyone here had success IVF ???
I have Turner syndrome. I was diagnosed at birth.
me too
I was diagnosed when I was 3 and the hospital is basically my second home
I have mosaic turners and was not diagnosed till age 31.
is there any case in which only "y" chromosome is present in person?
Deepak Kumar Verma no. The egg can supply only an X chromosome, but the sperm can provide either X or Y. Though each of these chromosomes contains genetic instructions, those on the X chromosome are absolutely necessary. Without an X chromosome, the zygote will not survive.
You missed out the short fingers :)
I have tuner syndrome 😭😢😭
