Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers ladies! Today has been quite a day. DH and I had a consultation with the genetic counselor at 7:15 am and she was very helpful and answered all of our questions. Then we went in for the CVS at 8 am. Luckily, the DR. is very reputable and teaches others in the hospital how to perform the CVS so I was feeling more comforted by that. The procedure was not physically painful, but was definitely emotionally stressful.
Interestingly, I requested that the nurse remeasure the nuchal translucency and the two readings she got were 2.3 and 2.9, which now fall in the high end of the normal range and are significantly lower than the 5.1 reading I got on Friday. I don't really understand it, and was happy with that news although I know it doesn't mean that all is ok. It's just crazy because if I were to get screened today instead of Friday I may not have opted to do the CVS at all! Anyways, I'm glad that I did and know that it will give me a piece of mind. The nurse also scanned the anatomy and found the nasal bone so she was pleased with that. Still feeling very worried and scared, but I have a little glimmer of hope that was not there yesterday. I get the results back by Friday and am so nervous!
Again, thank you for your thoughts and prayers! Your support means so much during this difficult time. xoxo
