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'm glad this part is behind you and hope the next couple weeks go by quickly for you. I had to wait over two weeks for my cvs results because the sample was so small and toward the end I started to worry that maybe it was taking so long because there was something wrong, but it was all ok.

Will be looking for your update and thinking of you.
