My Trisomy-X-syndrome

  • I was diagnosed with Triple X syndrome in 2010, when I was 39 years old
  • Triple X syndrome was found during a chromosome test
  • This chromosome test was performed after a third miscarriage
  • It was investigated whether a cause for the miscarriages could be found, but none was found
  • In the end, I had 5 miscarriages
  • During the examination, an extra X chromosome was observed in all 30 tested cells
  • So I have 3 X chromosomes in multiple cells instead of 2 X chromosomes.
  • Triple X syndrome is also described as 47,XXX or Trisomy X syndrome
  • After the diagnosis in 2010, I started writing down my story, I have published several books, there are stories by myself and about me on the internet (previously under the names Dana Hélène and Diana Divera), and I have been interviewed on occasion
  • The diagnosis of Triple X syndrome was primarily a revelation for me, where many puzzle pieces fell into place; finally, I had an explanation for many symptoms
