CVS testing. Chromosomal disorders. No hope.
Hi
I'm hoping for some support for high risk NT testing results, CVS test and other chromosomal disorder markers.
A bit about me: 27yo (26 @ conception); no fam history of chromosomal disorders; no risk factors whatsoever.
Tuesday, NT US scan: 7mm nuchal fold at back of neck. Lots of tears and waiting for an appointment @ fetal medicine clinic.
Thursday, @ fetal medicine clinic: Results of combined NT: 1:5 risk of downs and 1:55 and 1:100(something) for Edwards and Patau syndrome (can't remember which)
Same day, @ fetal medicine clinic:
Further US scan showed same nuchal fold measurement, plus echogenic bowel (I only saw this on the blood test form afterwards, not sure how certain it is as they didn't mention it...) and OB said she's unsure but possible hole in the heart.
Same day, @ fetal medicine clinic:
CVS test: damn painful I don't care what you've read. Also very traumatic. Cried and slept all day afterwards.
Same day, @ fetal medicine clinic:
Blood testing to rule out infection likelihood causing fluid backup therefore high nuchal fold reading.
Now waiting on the results which come through Monday. And I just have no hope that our baby will be healthy. I really don't. Also terrified of a possible termination though I probably would if chromosomal disorders are confirmed.
Really looking for some support here and some stories, good or bad. I'm a facts person so I need both sides, not just comforting positivity. To help ground this situation in reality.
Thanks
