Reply to comment by Cannie_Flippington in Why do individuals with Turner's syndrome (XO sex chromosomes) not have ovaries? by KissMyAFF
>Most Turner's women are sterile for the same reason - their ovaries just don't work properly. OP lucked out that the ordinary redundancy of the second ovary yielded a functional one and is a perfect example that their gametes are not effected by their own abnormality.
Yes exactly! I was called a “medical marvel” by my genetic counselor for conceiving not one but two children with little to no difficulty. Something about my specific mosaic make up with my turners really let me “get off easy” when it comes to some of the physical side effects of having it. I have no heart liver or kidney issues, no trouble having kids, etc. I’m just short as hell unfortunately hahaha
