I got startling numbers back from my NT scan today and had to go for a CVS and I can't keep calm. I don't know what will happen, but I'm just so worried for my baby and I want everything to be ok. I am a very anxious person even when I'm not pregnant and I'm no better when I am. Has anyone else experienced something similar and had a positive ending? I'm so scared. And so worried.

Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

I completely understand where you are in this. My NT scan came back high risk and I went for a CVS 2 weeks ago. All of the what ifs are such a mindfuck! The CVS itself wasn't pleasant but it was bareable (mine was done through the abdomen as opposed to through the cervix). I had to take it easy for a couple of days afterwards.
We opted to start with FISH which gives you results in 48hrs as the diagnosis of T13 or T18 would've changed our mind o continuing the pregnancy. Those came back normal so we chose the karyotype over the microarray and waited 2 weeks for those results which thankfully came back normal yesterday.
We are by no means "out of the woods" but definitely on the right track. MFM has me coming in for another ultrasound next week (15wks) and then the anatomy scan and fetal echo at 20 wks. So, there is a ways to go. Sure there can be a structural defect but there may not be either.
Today is the first day I've allowed myself to relax and start to enjoy this pregnancy. It was hard to get here after hearing such scary results along with the added worry of m/c due to the CVS. Allow yourself to feel what you need to feel to get through.
I'm hopeful for good outcomes all around
And try not to google anything about it! It will only make it worse!

The Amnio results take anywhere from 10-14 days. So, I'm on day 5 of waiting, potentially only 5 more days, or maybe a full 9 more of waiting.
Keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming my way! Thank you everyone for your positive responses!
