Triple-X syndrome

Most women with triple X have normal sexual development and are able to conceive children. A few may experience early onset of menstruation. It has not been determined yet as to whether the latter could be due to increases in both estrogen and progesterone, which work together in female sexual development. A vast majority of the females with triple X have never been diagnosed. The usual diagnosis results from pre-natal testing methods, such as amniocentesis. Most medical professionals do not regard Triple X syndrome a disability, however disability status can be sought by parents for early intervention treatment when mild delay is present.
