I was wondering if anyone else on this site has TS? If so, I can provide them with lots of great on-line resources. I have it myself and always like meeting other women with TS.

It is a genetic disorder that only affects women. One of the x chromosomes is missing or only partially there. Instead of 46xx, women who have Turner Syndrome have a kryotype of 45x. It normally results in short stature and infertility. There are several other problems that can result as well.

I have ts and i have many of the symptoms associated with ts.i have a low hairline,pigmented nevi,im about 4 ft 11,my arms turn out more than usual i believe i am a mosaic pattern.I think the hardest thing to deal with is not being able to get pregnant but,i have considered adoption or in vitro with a donar egg when i am ready to be a parent.It does help knowing you are not alone and remember that other chromosome abnormalties can cause more serious problems than ts .
