What a amazing video. You are a true example of never believe what we are always told. Believe in ourselves. =) Congratulations to you and your hubby. We are going on 23 years and feel blessed for every second of it. We are lucky people to have found true love. I Love that pic of your kids standing by the water .. too cute.
Hi!! I'm Yesenia. I'm 25 and was diagnosed with Turners at 15. Why so late? Because like you I went through puberty like any other girl normally at 13 with no medications or anything needed. The only reason I found out I had turners was because I was short (4'9") and they decided for some reason to test that. I was told I would go through menopause in my early twenties and never have kids. I'm 25 and still have Normal periods. I'm going to a reproductive endo because I want to have kids and he
Lisa :) My daughter has been diagnosed with Turner Syndrome, she is turning 8 years old today. She was diagnosed when she was 5 yrs old. We are just getting started on our journey, soon (in about 2 weeks) we will begin the hormone groth treatment (Omnitrope) and we are both excited and a bit scared of the unknown.
Thank you for sharing your life thru pics with us. I'll show your vid to my baby girl.
@DearestBecky I appreciate you watching. Everyone has a story, this just happens to be mine, and the miracles that have happened in my life. The flowers were not the ones in my wedding,..those were the studio...They were lame...haha
Thank you for the compliments....you are too kind...
@pinkpancakes5 I was not supposed to even reach puberty....but I did....I really appreciate your support in watching one of my earliest videos where I was learning to make videos....:)
can you believe this is the first time I see this video. I heard you talk about it but just came to your page and noticed it. Incredible Story Lisa. Beautiful wedding and family pics. the kids by the water was great and of course you in your wedding dress.
Truly inspiring! Bless you..... What an amazing video AND that song kicked butt lol,I absolutely LOVED it!.... You know, I don't have Turners syndrome but I was also told after having a procedure done many years ago that I might not be able to have any more kids after my son..But then my daughter came along and was a dream come true for my hubby and me,especially for my hubby since he had just hit his 40's lol,so I understand that part.Goes to show miracles do still happen.
Lovely story with a marvelous ending and some new beginnings. Doctors can sometimes only guess our futures. God Almighty is still in charge and holds the key to all our lives. Seek him in your hour of need. Ask and it shall be given unto you. Glad you didn't listen and had faith and were strong to do what You were capable of doing dispite any odds. :-D
wow this is wonderful...I'm a 18 years old turner girl from germany...and you are very lucky to have children...because they told me, that this is not possible for me anyways...you really give me and other utsgirls hope.<3
@RickyRena So good to hear from you....I had no hope really at your age, even though I reached puberty. I was still told I would not, and didn't for 12 years of marriage. It was a long journey indeed. Your life will have it's own wonderful story to tell, and I wish you the best! Stay in touch!
i am 15 years old and i want to know more information about turner syndrome. email me at Keiryortiz@yahoo.com or just send me a messenge in youtube:] if somebody speaks spanish that has thie syndrome, you are more then welcome to email me.
Listening to your story, I really thought your few normal chromosomes are winning an epic battle against the abnormal ones. Anyway, you embody a precious example of the way everybody should face their lives. I found your video because I was looking for some more informations about Turner's Syndrome, I'm studying it for my genetics' exam, but I really found more than just informations, I found a lesson which books can't teach you. Thank you.
@Kangiol Thank you for spending some time here with me. The doctors are still writing about such things as there is scant information on cases like mine...The internet is helping with this...
Wow ur story is truly amazing what a miracle!!!!!!! Inspirational Lisa I suffer from mental illness and they say it's a chemical imbalence I hope though that I will over come up like u overcame turners. I was prompted to look at this video because I was looking at a tv show and the character had it I never heard of this before sorry to hear about ur turners but happy it all worked out ur kids are they fine?
My daughter just turned one in December. she was diognosed with turner syndrome at birth and me and my husband have had our hands full. She has had 3 operations done on her left kidney and her cleft pallet just got closed on her birthday. She is very tiny for a one uear old, alot of people think she is 6 months (she wears 6 month clothes!). I hope me and my husband can give her a good life and she will take advantage of what she does have (like going to college).
@MsOrdonez2010 I am glad to hear that she is doing okay for now. She will surprise you, I am sure of how her life will be. No one knows how this happens, and now there is growth hormone for her. That will help tremendously. I did not have that option when I was young. The fact that she has been diagnosed early is a blessing. Keep in touch, I would love to hear how she is doing.
@MsOrdonez2010 make sure you treat her with love and give thebest. i think drinking milk , getting good food make sure she doesn't have fatting food excersice and sleep well. get her a good education bring her to massage theperphy and make sure look after her back. as a turner girl i should know i had ups and downs in my life but i learn, i learn so i can educate
@layola2004 It's when you have a donated egg and inject your partners sperm in to it then you place the egg in your womb and you have some chance of having a baby.
wow! that was a very nice video!!! thank you, I'm studying this in biology currently. By the way you are very beautiful and so are your children. And your video tells a very nice story, faith and hope makes miracles happen =]
@Sophiakopa I learned of Turner's in my biology book too, but I had already been diagnosed. I never knew anyone like me. Thank you so much for all of the compliments....that was so thoughtful
I met people when I was as young as 7 years old. I have a older friend/mentor who is very christian and spiritual and i showed her your clip. It does give me a lot of hope as Teens and Twenties I swear are the hardest yrs of my life with increased medical servailance and grappling independence and develeopment stuff. I'm in melbourne and am very thanful that there is a adult turners clinic and that I have access to a local headspace centre as well as a good soiritual father.
I have TS and am 23 years old and yeah can be confronting n challenging at the moment. thnx 4 the hope ur story gives. I tottaly agree that faith is very important if not lifesaving through tough times.
yea! i can see what ur sayin!! docotors have NO idea aoubt TS cuz its soo rare! not many girls have it! and my parents alwasy tell me how special i am and i deffintly feel speicial!!
I also have Turnner syndrom! and i hope oneday to be able to have babies! my name is Leanne i was diagonosed at age 10 im not almost 13 please comment back to me!
@LeanneRR14 Hey Leanne....so nice to hear from you. Everyone with Turner Syndrome is different. The doctors thought they knew what was going to happen to me, but they didn't. Not at all
@LisaJMoore yea i can see what ur saying!! Ts is soo rare and doctors know NOTHING about it! i do relize how special i really am to be here today!! i <3 u all :)
wow it's weird seeing this video my mum has turner syndrome and also had me by IVF. I've always been aware of turner syndrome but never actually seen or heard anyone else with it. My mum can seem strange some times and sometimes doesn't understand something's but would be simple for someone else. I just want to ask if anyone knows that this is typical for someone with turner syndrome? thanks
Touching video, i enjoyed watching it. i'm surprised how normal a life you can lead and how (relatively) little having a missing chromosome can affect you considering downs syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome and causes a wide array of problems. question for you uploader if you will answer. is this a condition that only affects females? could a male lose a Y chromosome this way and develop and be born as a female? sorry i'm a biology nut :)
@blazednlovinit I am a huge exception and an example of how we have so much to learn. Over 95% of the cells in my body are affected, but yet I still reached puberty which I should NEVER have done....Yes, the child will be only female as there is nothing but an X chromasome. Most do not reach puberty or normal stature. Many have various heart conditions as well. You were very kind to watch! Thank you:)
@LisaJMoore i just read on wiki that some turner mosaics have Y chromosomes in some of their cells, this mean had they not had turners syndrome they would have been born male? but being robbed of the Y in alot of their cells they develop as female?
I'm so happy for you that you can lead such a good life when so many people with genetic conditions are robbed of a normal life altogether.
My genetic anomaly is colour blindness, nice and simple and hardly affects day to day life :)
@blazednlovinit There will always be variants of any syndrome, I have heard of a very very small group of people who are more like hermaphrodites....which is not really like Turner's Syndrome even though SOME of their cells are affected with only one X chromasome......their cell structure is something that can not be put in a category.
@LisaJMoore i find this stuff so interesting. you know cystic fibrosis is caused by a single letter in the genetic run being absent, and that equates to four atoms. this means a protein in the cell wall to eject salt from the cell is malformed and doesn't work, and before you know it a tiny genetic anomaly can cause huge problems. That's why i can be surprised that a whole chromosome can cause relatively mild symptoms
What a great video,even though i'm not turner's,my aunt and 2ed mother was,I'm a tr.hermaphrodite myself,she cared for me and i beleave i got my inner strength from her,she could not have a natural child of her own,she was 4'6" tall,so she raised me instead,Thank you, this video gave me strength, just remembering her and her kindness to all things.
Hi Lisa,I'm not a turner's,I'm a tr.Hermaphrodite,But,my bestest Aunt had turner's and all the problems with it,she never could have a child so she excepted me as that child,I have great respect for you and this video it's just,well,Great I think,I beleave I got my strength from her to carry on with my own DNA problems,also several members in my family have had it and do have turner's,on my father's side of the tree,Thank you for the strength...Lisa May Stevens...
Thank you for posting this video. I am 38 years old and I have turner syndrome...and I am pregnant, about 5 months I believe. I just want you to know that watching this video has given me a new hope. I am sooo glad I saw this.
This video was amazing! My daughter has TS...she's almost 3, and is roughly the same size as her healthy, average sized 14 month old brother. We were told when I was 18 weeks pregnant that she had 0% chance of survival, and, we decided that whatever time we were given with her, was time that we wanted, and chose not to have the recommended termination. Videos like this, showing the future instead of just current hurdles, do the heart so much good.
Awesome video - I sit my medical finals exams tomorrow, and wanted to find out more about Turner's. Your video made me realise, yet again, that medicine has nothing to do with diseases, it is all about people. Thankyou.
Wonderful story. I also have Turner Syndrome. I am now a teacher, and although most of my students are taller, I never let it stop me from anything I do.
omg! this is so cool! i'm 14 and i'm actually being tested for turner syndrome! i go to the doctor to see the results if i have it like THIS THURSDAY! but, i'm almost positive i have it!! :-( what was it like 4 u when u first found out u had ts??
A beautiful video. I will pass this on to a client I have who is 19 weeks pregnant with a baby girl with Turner Syndrome. She has so much faith and has taught me so much in the short time that she has been coming to me for therapy. God Bless you too!
OH WOW Lisa....I'm just now getting to listen this. Very touching story!!!!!! This is exactly why I opted NOT to have the genetic testing during any of my 4 pregnancies...my thought was, God blessed me with child and he will bless me always, no matter what! How tall are you now?
your story was amazing. you have 2 lovely kids. they are just of the same age as i am now..it was an inspirational documentary film. i am thanking you for showing this to everyone. it was really nice.
I am doing some genetics research unrelated to Turner and am seeing not everyone is XX or XY in the data set I have on a few thousand people. Have read about syndromes in textbooks, but I am thrilled to see your video from a whole person outside a textbook.
It is great to see people are living full lives!!! Completely awesome! Makes me smile. :)
You are amazing. I was too busy enjoying your videos, and then I saw this. It didn't even occur to me....how bizzarre is that that I never even noticed, lol
I have nothing else to say other than may your life always be this happy and fulfilled.
I'm so happy for you. My mother was one of the unlucky ones. She's 30and healthy. I'm 14.. She got pregnant in january and on april 17th, the baby had to be removed since she had only 1 x chromosome, and was already dieing, and harming my mother, it's been so hard. The doctors have said they have never in their medical years seen anything of the sort. And looking at this video makes me think of what couldve been of my little sister.
I am 30 with Mosaic TS, I was told from the age of 16 and throughout the years that I could not conceive naturally, I was told this Friday that I am pregnant, and could be about 20 weeks, I am still in shock but hopefully it will be ok. I waiting for an ultrasound. Your documentary is truly inspirational.
Your story actually broke my heart...It is so beautiful...Your blessed. One of my very long time friends...was strongly advised by many years ago to end her pregenacy due to Turners. She did... Oh my, how hard that was I remember just awful the mourning of the loss. No Hope were the words used....It was a much worse case seniero than yours of course!! Severe birth defects....etc. Well anyway...I am very happy I came across your story I cried tears of joy for you!
Thank you for making this. Last week I went on a date with a woman who told me she had Turner's syndrome and I had never heard of it. She told me only a little about it as we were more into what movie we were going to see and what was for dinner. So naturally, after my date I googled this and found a lot of medical sites. Your video here actually told me more than any of those sites. Thanks for posting.
Wow! You have answered more questions than any doctor. I have a 10 mo old daughter with TS, she is my angel! She is my first child and a miracle. I am so scared for her and just scared in general. I am humbled to see that you have lived a productive happy life, you have given me hope. Thank you! You should email me!
My sister is 20weeks pregnant with her first child(a beautiful baby girl nick named Poppet at this stage) Poppet has been diagnosed with TS which of course was devastating, mostly due to the fact we had never heard of it before.After research and veiwing your beautiful story we have a better understanding of it now. However Poppet hasXXX chromosomes cells can you tell us what that means or do you know of anyone that may enlighten us on this?Thankyou for your inspiration and helping us understand
I've read a bit about triple X syndrome which actually causes above average height, learning disabilities and distictive facial features, but I don't know if she'll have that if the majority of her cells are Turner cells.
I have Mosaic TS, am 24, married, and currently in the process of enrolling in grad school to become a licensed therapist. This story truly touched my heart, as I was absolutely devasted when told i would never be able to have children. Your children are truly a miracle, and give me hope once again....
My wife and I have a a baby girl fetus in its 19th week. The baby has Mosaic TS. She has 17.5% X chromosome cells, and 82.5% normal XX chromosome cells. We want information on the probabilities our baby will have TS symptoms and her prognosis. Very little stats info. exists for babies with Mosaic Turner Syndrome. Can you share the extent of your symptoms and the percent of XX cells versus your X cells? Do you know of any experts that we can discuss this with TS?
Great Documentary Lisa, I do believe miracles happen. It looks like you and your family have had amazing lives. Your children are lovely, the children the doctors said you couldn't have. I'm sure you've had some pretty rough times. Phil Keaggy rulez.
ANYONE, and I do mean ANYONE who knows and adores the best guitarist that ever lived is my friend for life. This man is amazing. Truly amazing. He and his great music kept me out of trouble as a teen, by distracting me with it's brilliance and messages.
My daughter is 4 months old now. 6 weeks corrected. She was VERY premature. So anyway, me and my partner had been told earlier that we were going to have a dwarf child, which we were fine with, but the doctor gave us the option to abort.. We were so furious. Anyway she wasnt a dwarf, she has TS. This video has really really made me feel better about her future. We are very lucky that we found out earlier that she has it so we can act on it.
Its still scary, because we have no real knowledge of the syndrome and she is our little miracle, and we will let her know how precious she is everyday. So thank you for posting this it means alot to me.... Nick
Lisa you and your family are the definition of miracles at work and I am so proud that you were able too prove all the naysayers wrong!:)
YOur life must have really been filled with emotions not many could handle, but your my dear almost seems too revel in it!?!:)
That is neat how after you go through IVF you have another naturally!?!;) I was afraid that would happen after we had ours, but so far we just had the one miracle!?!:)
I am against abortion in these sort of situations, however I am okay with it in situations of teen pregnancy in eleven and twelve year olds. What I am more against is Eugenics which are studies on how to genetically engineer people so that they have no disabilities.
It is hard to think that these days with prenatal testing some families decide not to have babies like us because we are less than perfect. Well I too have had an eventful life, a wonderful husband and daughter. I am glad I am here now and wouldn't have missed it for anything!
it is the doctors that are doing more of that sort of talk....the families don't know anything about it....that is one of the reasons I did the video...
when i see people overcome their disability it i feel happy more then anything . . .
my sister was born with brain disability , doctors told my perents to put her in institute for mental people . . , they refused and treated her with allot of love , she now 34 y old , with a partner and house , she is very independent women , and it's hard to tell she have a problem at all . . . thenk you for reminding me . . . (-:
@daflamer tell that to my wacky family. miss perfect sis, mom the favor , dad who left, living with t.s trust me i have no family that support me. i feel lost and loney sometimes and it feels i have to work harder than them yet they give me less.
I have TS and I am married now and its hard to think we may not be able to have our own children but this shows me there is still a chance that we can = )
im 5 months pregnant and been told my baby might have turners syndrome as her feet and hands are puffy was told to get an amniocentisis but decided against coz of risk of miscarriage just have to wait and see good video x
i too have ts and im only 14 and knowing you had kids gives me some hope for ts patients like me i took shots and pills and junior high and freshmen year at hs was hard and i want you to know you have my support and i hope we support each other to beat the odds in ts.
Being 14 was the hardest for me....I felt so alone...I knew of no one going through this......with the internet, that is so different. You have your whole life ahead of you, and I wish you the best......stay in touch!
I also have Turner's syndorme. I'm 17 years old and I live in southern Ontario. I really want to thank you for this video! It's a crime that mothers of babies diagnosed with Turners are encourage to get an abortion. I live a completley normal life, infact I'm almost 5 feet tall now! I acctually think finding out I have Turners made me more determined to do more things in life. I again want to thank you for this video, and I'm planing on making one myself :)
hey i too have ts and i am only 14 i took shots for a year and now i take hormones it is nice to find someone who knows what i go through did you get teased about your hieght in school?ts is hard and we are survivors and good luck with your life and god bless you.
I just came across this video as I was studying for finals. I am a psychology major, so we are studying this as part of our curriculum. You are such an inspiration!
I am a pre nursing student and learned much more than the medical part, but the great faith you muct have had growing up. You are inspirational. Thanks
Thx for your story Lisa. I live in Canada and have T.S. as well. This has become a platform on which I am able to speak on the issue of life specifically abortion. We as human beings are living dangerously when we believe that we can make these life and death decisions. Like you I do the things that others do and our stories expose the lie that doctors can decide who will live and die. Would love the opportunity to be in touch with you if you're willing.
Thanks so much for sharing. I'm 37 and have T.S. Your video made me cry. I'm just married and a college English instructor. My husband and I have chosen not to pursus children, but your message of hope was just as powerful for me. Blessings. Tara
I'm a 23-year old girl with Turners. I live a very perfect life (hell, I travel the sodden world atm! :D) but the one thing that really bugs me about this is not being able to have children. I love kids, and I want to find out more about IVF and stuff, so if you read this, send me a message or something :) Would be great to talk to people who actually lived it.
BTW, let me just tell you, I am SO proud of you! :D you look absolutely georgeous! x
i loved ure video so so much! it was great and beautiful!! im so happy for you! also my parents celebrated their 29 years of mariage ..and im just 18 ..i hade a sister but ..god took her away!! ure video inspired me maybe someday to make my oun videos!
Wow, thanks a lot for your video. You made my day and I still hope to have a fortune like you. It's really a strange life with Turner Syndrome. Just laugh away. :-) I send you a lot of sunbeams.
I agree with you that it is a strange life, as people expect the same from me as they do anyone else. I appreciate that, however it has been difficult to live up to that, being so petite. I am fortunate to be able to do the things I have done.
We ALL have our own fortune, and you have to continue to make yours. It won't make itself. You have to be a part of it.
Hi. I jst had to post you a comment to say thank you for your lovely video. I am a 35 year old woman with turners, who unfortunatley hasnt been fortunate enough to have kids, though I really want them. I am very curious to know how u conceived ur second child naturally. Did u ovulate regularly, or wasit spontaneous ? I dont have periods, so I dont know if by some miracle of god it could happen to me? thanks again...
I just watched the video and think you are an inspiration to all of us. You got married and had kids against all odds and didn't listen to people who said you couldn't do it. You are seriously inspirational!
A very interesting but well documented documentary about your life and to know what Turners syndrome actually is. There are so many diagnoses in this world so to learn about this was interesting and educational if I may say. You have beautiful children, a life and a husband so you are blessed with living a full life despite your condition but at least you are capable of doing things which most wish they could do. Thanks for the video response.
You're right. Life is precious and shouldn't be discretionarily(?) ended. Attitude is everything!!
I have a friend who used to be very outspoken on abortion and what 'conditions' should apply in carrying out a pregnancy...As is turned out, he&his wife had a child born with an abnormality. I am proud to say that he's changed his tune quite a bit and he loves his newborn!!
very great video!! that was very thoughtful. i knew someone who had it, (either that, or they were premature at birth) she was in 6th grade and 4'4...
its great to have more turners on youtube....there wasnt much before
so....dont be shy...we are all here as part of the intersex community or whatever you want to call it......and together we are making a difference......if you did a video it would be amazing....no pressure!
and technically i´m a man because i have a penis but dont produce enough sperm
i argue politely please,that categorising ourselves as simply "males" and "females" is not very helpful to the androgynous people out there,the intersexed and also the transitioning people!
i argue that if there were more options on the menu of assigned sexes -would turners syndrome and klinefelters syndrome really want to be included in the categories of just "male" or "female"
i am peaceandparty by the way too........so please lets talk more in 2009 about what intersex is and how we are categorising "people" on this planet of humans
i am soooo happy with your contribution about turners
there have been next to no videos about turners the last year and a half and now i see many turners people just like me the technical klinefelters person
we are each doing our best...but that one video of yours puts my 950 to shame
ah well!we are all one but we are not the same!
i am playing catch up with a few people
sorry i havent been around!
i am so happy for you-what a life!beautiful children-well done lisa!
wow I love it I hope to one day too say my soon to be wife can have a family like yours and be married for that long!! 30 years or plus God Bless you guys!!! truly!!
Thanks so much for sharing this, a truly inspirational video. I can relate to some of the issues, the difficulty in finding your path when others just see the physical. Follow your dreams and heart nad anything is possible ☺
Thanks for posting, I also have TS. I am so happy for you and the miracle of your children. I had my ovaries removed at the age of 6, but that was back in the early 80's. I hope nowadays with more medical technology more women with TS are given the opportunity to reproduce.
Awesome video! just what I think I Needed right now. It is nice to know we with TS can live and do live "normal" lives and are healthy. Thank you for posting this.
hi...from ks to ts and the confusions for many people thinking ts is trans and tv is television and ks could be kallmanns syndrome when i refer to myself as an xxy!
whoah.....hahahahaha.....sometimes confusing for others eh!
?
but the more people like you be outspoken and heartfelt...the more we can help this world better understand many conditions!
i mentioned to someone earlier about intersex and i know that many turners would not consider themselves part of planet intersex...but i do!
My daughter is 19yo. I knew the diagnosis and my husband and made the choice together to try to carry Kyla to term. She is amazing. She's a semi-professional snowboarder and a community college student. Her tenacity is exemplary.
Although we are not Christians, our lives are also happy and full.
Interestingly, I knew Phil Keaggy back in the late 60's, in Youngstown, OH.
I would love to see pictures of her. I am not as athletic as her,(mostly played tennis)but graduated with my bachelor of science degree...
It is wonderful that you can show that your daughter also has a full life...The video was from a christian perspective, however the video was made to promote a more civil discussion on the subject of life...and to show we still have a great deal to learn about our world, and ourselves...I am jealous you knew Phil! An amazing artist and human being..
This video is supbub, like most ts lasy's myself and husband are wanting to start a family and Ive been a little down about it but watching this video and the comments made on here as well has given me some inpiration to just get on with it there are other ways of getting around it. I do live a normal life and what you say about not knowing the future that is so true. :-)
What a amazing video. You are a true example of never believe what we are always told. Believe in ourselves. =) Congratulations to you and your hubby. We are going on 23 years and feel blessed for every second of it. We are lucky people to have found true love. I Love that pic of your kids standing by the water .. too cute.

Hi!! I'm Yesenia. I'm 25 and was diagnosed with Turners at 15. Why so late? Because like you I went through puberty like any other girl normally at 13 with no medications or anything needed. The only reason I found out I had turners was because I was short (4'9") and they decided for some reason to test that. I was told I would go through menopause in my early twenties and never have kids. I'm 25 and still have Normal periods. I'm going to a reproductive endo because I want to have kids and he

We are just getting started on our journey, soon (in about 2 weeks) we will begin the hormone groth treatment (Omnitrope) and we are both excited and a bit scared of the unknown.
Thank you for sharing your life thru pics with us. I'll show your vid to my baby girl.

Lovely story with a marvelous ending and some new beginnings. Doctors can sometimes only guess our futures. God Almighty is still in charge and holds the key to all our lives. Seek him in your hour of need. Ask and it shall be given unto you. Glad you didn't listen and had faith and were strong to do what You were capable of doing dispite any odds. :-D

Listening to your story, I really thought your few normal chromosomes are winning an epic battle against the abnormal ones. Anyway, you embody a precious example of the way everybody should face their lives. I found your video because I was looking for some more informations about Turner's Syndrome, I'm studying it for my genetics' exam, but I really found more than just informations, I found a lesson which books can't teach you. Thank you.

My daughter just turned one in December. she was diognosed with turner syndrome at birth and me and my husband have had our hands full. She has had 3 operations done on her left kidney and her cleft pallet just got closed on her birthday. She is very tiny for a one uear old, alot of people think she is 6 months (she wears 6 month clothes!). I hope me and my husband can give her a good life and she will take advantage of what she does have (like going to college).

@MsOrdonez2010 I am glad to hear that she is doing okay for now. She will surprise you, I am sure of how her life will be. No one knows how this happens, and now there is growth hormone for her. That will help tremendously. I did not have that option when I was young. The fact that she has been diagnosed early is a blessing. Keep in touch, I would love to hear how she is doing.

@MsOrdonez2010 make sure you treat her with love and give thebest. i think drinking milk , getting good food make sure she doesn't have fatting food excersice and sleep well. get her a good education bring her to massage theperphy and make sure look after her back. as a turner girl i should know i had ups and downs in my life but i learn, i learn so i can educate

I just want to ask if anyone knows that this is typical for someone with turner syndrome? thanks

layola2004 1 year ago
Touching video, i enjoyed watching it. i'm surprised how normal a life you can lead and how (relatively) little having a missing chromosome can affect you considering downs syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome and causes a wide array of problems. question for you uploader if you will answer. is this a condition that only affects females? could a male lose a Y chromosome this way and develop and be born as a female? sorry i'm a biology nut :)
it was lovely watching you grow up
blazednlovinit 1 year ago
@blazednlovinit I am a huge exception and an example of how we have so much to learn. Over 95% of the cells in my body are affected, but yet I still reached puberty which I should NEVER have done....Yes, the child will be only female as there is nothing but an X chromasome. Most do not reach puberty or normal stature. Many have various heart conditions as well. You were very kind to watch! Thank you:)
LisaJMoore 1 year ago
@LisaJMoore i just read on wiki that some turner mosaics have Y chromosomes in some of their cells, this mean had they not had turners syndrome they would have been born male? but being robbed of the Y in alot of their cells they develop as female?
I'm so happy for you that you can lead such a good life when so many people with genetic conditions are robbed of a normal life altogether.
My genetic anomaly is colour blindness, nice and simple and hardly affects day to day life :)
blazednlovinit 1 year ago
@blazednlovinit There will always be variants of any syndrome, I have heard of a very very small group of people who are more like hermaphrodites....which is not really like Turner's Syndrome even though SOME of their cells are affected with only one X chromasome......their cell structure is something that can not be put in a category.
LisaJMoore 1 year ago
@LisaJMoore i find this stuff so interesting. you know cystic fibrosis is caused by a single letter in the genetic run being absent, and that equates to four atoms. this means a protein in the cell wall to eject salt from the cell is malformed and doesn't work, and before you know it a tiny genetic anomaly can cause huge problems. That's why i can be surprised that a whole chromosome can cause relatively mild symptoms

This video was amazing! My daughter has TS...she's almost 3, and is roughly the same size as her healthy, average sized 14 month old brother. We were told when I was 18 weeks pregnant that she had 0% chance of survival, and, we decided that whatever time we were given with her, was time that we wanted, and chose not to have the recommended termination. Videos like this, showing the future instead of just current hurdles, do the heart so much good.

I'm so happy for you. My mother was one of the unlucky ones. She's 30and healthy. I'm 14.. She got pregnant in january and on april 17th, the baby had to be removed since she had only 1 x chromosome, and was already dieing, and harming my mother, it's been so hard. The doctors have said they have never in their medical years seen anything of the sort. And looking at this video makes me think of what couldve been of my little sister.

We want information on the probabilities our baby will have TS symptoms and her prognosis. Very little stats info. exists for babies with Mosaic Turner Syndrome. Can you share the extent of your symptoms and the percent of XX cells versus your X cells? Do you know of any experts that we can discuss this with TS?

So anyway, me and my partner had been told earlier that we were going to have a dwarf child, which we were fine with, but the doctor gave us the option to abort.. We were so furious. Anyway she wasnt a dwarf, she has TS. This video has really really made me feel better about her future. We are very lucky that we found out earlier that she has it so we can act on it.

Hi. I jst had to post you a comment to say thank you for your lovely video. I am a 35 year old woman with turners, who unfortunatley hasnt been fortunate enough to have kids, though I really want them. I am very curious to know how u conceived ur second child naturally. Did u ovulate regularly, or wasit spontaneous ? I dont have periods, so I dont know if by some miracle of god it could happen to me? thanks again...

I just watched the video and think you are an inspiration to all of us. You got married and had kids against all odds and didn't listen to people who said you couldn't do it. You are seriously inspirational!

A very interesting but well documented documentary about your life and to know what Turners syndrome actually is. There are so many diagnoses in this world so to learn about this was interesting and educational if I may say. You have beautiful children, a life and a husband so you are blessed with living a full life despite your condition but at least you are capable of doing things which most wish they could do. Thanks for the video response.

You're right. Life is precious and shouldn't be discretionarily(?) ended. Attitude is everything!!
I have a friend who used to be very outspoken on abortion and what 'conditions' should apply in carrying out a pregnancy...As is turned out, he&his wife had a child born with an abnormality. I am proud to say that he's changed his tune quite a bit and he loves his newborn!!
Take it easy, no barnyard talk!

welcome to you tube
i technically have ks
i prefer being just labelled as xxy though...:)
its great to have more turners on youtube....there wasnt much before
so....dont be shy...we are all here as part of the intersex community or whatever you want to call it......and together we are making a difference......if you did a video it would be amazing....no pressure!
anyway.....have a good one!
peace be with you always
all for one and one for all
we are all one but we are not the same

but FEMALES with TS are not intersexed, they are 100% female just with none functioning ovaries, some do have ovarian function though.
even those who do have a Y fragment chromosome are not actually intersexed they are still females..

You are correct. I am sort of an UBER female....technically you are correct. Thank you for you comments....Keep in touch!

technically u are correct!fluffyfairy
and technically i´m a man because i have a penis but dont produce enough sperm
i argue politely please,that categorising ourselves as simply "males" and "females" is not very helpful to the androgynous people out there,the intersexed and also the transitioning people!
i argue that if there were more options on the menu of assigned sexes -would turners syndrome and klinefelters syndrome really want to be included in the categories of just "male" or "female"

i am peaceandparty by the way too........so please lets talk more in 2009 about what intersex is and how we are categorising "people" on this planet of humans

there have been next to no videos about turners the last year and a half and now i see many turners people just like me the technical klinefelters person
we are each doing our best...but that one video of yours puts my 950 to shame
ah well!we are all one but we are not the same!
i am playing catch up with a few people

Thanks so much for sharing this, a truly inspirational video. I can relate to some of the issues, the difficulty in finding your path when others just see the physical. Follow your dreams and heart nad anything is possible ☺

Thanks for posting, I also have TS. I am so happy for you and the miracle of your children. I had my ovaries removed at the age of 6, but that was back in the early 80's. I hope nowadays with more medical technology more women with TS are given the opportunity to reproduce.

on the reproduvcing point
there is new news to show that people who are infertile xxys can also more easily reproduce with the use of science technology!
glad that there are more ts and ks people online on youtube!
the more the merrier!

hi...from ks to ts and the confusions for many people thinking ts is trans and tv is television and ks could be kallmanns syndrome when i refer to myself as an xxy!
whoah.....hahahahaha.....sometimes confusing for others eh!
?
but the more people like you be outspoken and heartfelt...the more we can help this world better understand many conditions!
i mentioned to someone earlier about intersex and i know that many turners would not consider themselves part of planet intersex...but i do!

My daughter is 19yo. I knew the diagnosis and my husband and made the choice together to try to carry Kyla to term. She is amazing. She's a semi-professional snowboarder and a community college student. Her tenacity is exemplary.
Although we are not Christians, our lives are also happy and full.
Interestingly, I knew Phil Keaggy back in the late 60's, in Youngstown, OH.

I would love to see pictures of her. I am not as athletic as her,(mostly played tennis)but graduated with my bachelor of science degree...
It is wonderful that you can show that your daughter also has a full life...The video was from a christian perspective, however the video was made to promote a more civil discussion on the subject of life...and to show we still have a great deal to learn about our world, and ourselves...I am jealous you knew Phil! An amazing artist and human being..

This video is supbub, like most ts lasy's myself and husband are wanting to start a family and Ive been a little down about it but watching this video and the comments made on here as well has given me some inpiration to just get on with it there are other ways of getting around it. I do live a normal life and what you say about not knowing the future that is so true. :-)
