The procedure went well, I think the worst part was hearing how long it would take to get results. On Wednesday, we'll get the preliminary results from the karyotype along with the sex of the baby; the final results will follow a week later. If everything appears to be normal there, then they'll start the UPD testing and results from that will take about a month.
That really threw me for a loop. I thought that after a week, I'd get my results and be able to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy...but I have another month of worrying about whether or not we'll be keeping the pregnancy. And I have to wait another month before I can announce to anyone, including our families. It's just so overwhelming to think that after everything we've gone through, we still may not have our take home baby...and that really breaks my heart.
If the baby carries the translocation like I do, then there's no chance for a UPD and we'll be good to go...but hoping for that makes me feel like a bad mom. I'd never wish any of this difficulty on anyone, especially not my own children. We did get to see Rex and it was the first time I cried during an u/s. Heart rate was 163 bpm and my little overacheiver measured in at 12w1d...just about 5.4 cm. The tech was fantastic, she knew I was pretty freaked out so she spent a lot of time showing me the little munchkin. We saw little hands with fingers, a cute little nose, and two very active little legs.
Today was just really emotionally draining and I want this mess to be over with. I don't normally ask things like this, but T's and P's would really be appreciated. Thanks for reading this far...I hope you ladies are doing well ♥
