Waiting for CVS results

12 replies

Last week had CVS done as my scan & blood results came back very bad. I'm kind of still in the shock as the scan was showing no signs at all (the nasal bone formatting fine, the translucency was measured at around 2mm), the baby seemed so active, so I couldn't believe when MW called to tell me that they've got high risk for DS as 1:5. First reaction was why, how is this possible as the scan was absolutely fine, now just get drowning in more and more questions to which I can't find the answer. And the most scary is what if CVS comes as positive for DS... I'm simply going crazy, DH has shut himself and doesn't talk to me about this. We had quite small discussion when we were making decision to go for CVS or not as it has this miscarriage risk, but that was it. Then he mentioned, that if baby has DS, that it would wreak our DS's, who is 13months now, and our lives... I know that he is so crazy about our son, but I can't understand why he doesn't feel the same way about this baby... I feel so freightened and lost... Called the hospital already just to double check how soon I should get the results, so they confirmed that it will be tomorrow. It seems such a long and unbearable wait...

Hi Enigmule- just a quick message as I am off out the door, but didn't want to leave you hanging. Will be back later as will a whole group of amazing women who can hopefully give you some answers and much needed support. Try to be as gentle with yourself as you can in the meantime and read through some of the threads in this area; you'll see there is lots of hope as well as lots of people who have been exactly where you are, feeling exactly the same.

Also, we sometimes get hijacked on this thread by people who don't want to support but want to brow beat and harrass other women at their time of despair. If they do turn up DON'T LET THEM CHASE YOU AWAY. Ignore them, there will be many others here who will support you and feel nothing but sympathy for the terrible situation you are in right now.

Big hugs, hang in there honey xxxxxx

My dearest!
Thank you very much for your support! I can not believe, but I have just received a call from the hospital saying that it is all clear! I'm soooooooo happy that basically my head is spinning! And I'm also very happy that I have discovered this forum with so much support and necessary information.
Need to cool down myself and later I shall write more.

Thank you all once again! Just been trying to cool myself down by doing some work, which is must admit not going well as I'm still very happy and excited about the good result. But can't leave this post unwritten as I just want to let everybody know who is or might be in a similar situation, that please please please, do not give up your hopes till the results come. I know now, how hard and frustrating that wait is, but unless you know for sure, there must be hope alive that all be ok with our precious beanies. Remembering how scared I was knowing that our chance is only 1 out of 5, and that I almost gave up my hope, which made everything even harder, from all my heart I want to tell that let's pray and keep our hopes for the better,x

was about to post and sympathise - have also been there very recently, although at least DP and I were as one about what we would do if news was bad (1:11 risk), but like you all clear. So delighted to hear this - congratulations on your pregnancy!
