CVS is done and over with!

Hi everyone,

I just had the CVS done, and it was just fine. Certainly no more painful than a needle. We got to see the baby again, which was nice. A cursory anatomical scan didn't reveal anything screamingly wrong, except for the nuchal fold, which is now measuring around 3.0, so no real change.


The doctor was ultra-pleased with himself and kept bragging about what a great sample he got (the ultrasound tech was rolling her eyes) and he even showed us under the microscope. The chorionic tissue looked like little white strands. So that's good, they should be able to do a good analysis with what they got.


So now it's just a whole lot of waiting. They won't do the FISH test with CVS at that hospital, so it will be around 2 weeks before we get results.

Becca,


I had a CVS with my DS, so I know how stressful the day can be (as well as the waiting).

Becca, I'm so happy that you have that behind you and it wasn't as bad as you'd anticipated.

Becca,


I am so happy to hear that they were able to get the CVS done and also that it went so well! I like hearing that there was nothing screaming wrong and that your little munchkin is doing well! My thoughts are with you during these next two weeks as you wait!
