I'm sorry that the scan wasn't 100% stress free. They found a different "soft marker" with our little girl at our anatomy scan; when I was doing research on her findings, I came across this website:
I remember it being overall really reassuring, but I can't recall that for sure. Don't know if you want to look into it more (or if that would just stress you out more), but I figured I'd at least put it out there for you.
My understanding is also that the vast majority of these "soft markers" aren't anything to worry about when there aren't any other indications of a problem. But, of course, that doesn't help as much when you're PgAL & used to being on the sucky side of statistics (& especially with your history).
Wishing you fantastic, perfect amnio results ASAP!!! You & your family are definitely in my thoughts!!!
P.S. Did you decide to find out LO's sex?
Thanks i'll try and checkout that site.
And nope we're staying team green. ) It's so hard though but we remained strong.

Tons of thoughts and prayers. It seems like choroid plexus cysts are pretty common so hopefully it's a funny finding in a completely normal baby! ((HUGS))

I hope that you get results back quickly and that you can get some peace of mind very soon. You have a ton of positive thoughts coming your way from this board.
I'm sorry you are going through this right now. Did they say what the cyst could mean? As hard as it is, I think I would have wanted to hear worst-case scenarios. I hope you get the results soon.

Yes, they say it could be a soft marker for Trisomy 18. However, usually if it is trisomy 18 there are other findings as well as the cyst. Our LO had no other findings, thankgod.
Worst case scenario - Trisomy 18 babies usually do not survive the 1st year of life and have severe complications so basically it would be a death sentence. (
