@luckyduck42 I am so sorry. I cannot imagine the stress of having to wait and wonder for that much longer. How quickly will they be able to have the results for you once the amnio is complete? And although DS is not the end of the world, it is never something we plan or hope for. The anger and the sadness are more than warranted and I know we will all do our best to support you through this as much as we can. I am so glad the scan went well for you today but so sorry you didn't get any definitive answers. I wish there were a way to make the time pass faster so that you would not have to live in this terrible limbo ❤
@luckyduck42 I'm so sorry the cvs couldn't get executed today to at least start the clock ticking on results. I hope your amnio is soon and that baby is in a good position to get that completed as scheduled. I'm so sorry for the limbo and wait for clarity. I'm thinking of you.
@luckyduck42 I am so sorry you are in this situation, especially being in the unknown for a few weeks. Your emotions are valid, and I hope these next few weeks go by fast so you can get the answers you need! Thinking of you and sending positive vibes!
@luckyduck42@Patience7150 I’m so sorry you’re both in this waiting period, that’s really hard. Just sending you both lots of creepy internet stranger hugs as you wait for next steps and more information.
@Patience7150@luckyduck42 Thinking of you both. I am so sorry you are going through this time of uncertainty. We are here for any and all feelings you have during this time!
@Panaceia once the amniocentesis is done, results are back in 24-48 hours. It is being done on a Friday, so probably Sunday sometime. MFM will provide the cell phone number for the genetic counselor, so that I can talk to her as soon as results are posted by Quest.
@luckyduck42 I'm glad at least that the turn around time isn't longer...but I know it will still feel like an eternity no matter how much time it takes. And I'm also glad they gave you the cell number so you can have some immediate guidance and expertise if needed. I hope that by some magic this week passes quickly for you so you can get some definitive answers and do not have to continue to be stuck in this limbo ❤
@Patience7150 I'm so sorry you got nerve-wracking news! I've got everything crossed for you, and hope that you get good results, and get them quickly. Waiting is so painful!
@luckyduck42 Thinking of you today. Your feelings and frustrations are 100% normal and healthy. We're here for you whenever you want to share or vent. Safe space to work through the emotions. Sending hugs
