final cvs results are in...

[emilyscout]

...and the results are complicated. Not good, not bad, just complicated. Seriously, everything that could go wrong with everything this pregnancy has gone wrong. So when they sample the placenta, mom's dna is mixed in there. They try to get rid of mom's dna before culturing it for the final results. However, sometimes mom's dna sneaks in there and throws everything off. So our results came back and we are having a normal girl and a normal boy. Since we're not having twins, that's not a very clear result. The doctor said that MOST likely its my dna mixed in there. But that sometimes baby's can carry two strands of dna.(I don't even want to know what it might mean if the baby has boy AND girl dna). So they can't 100% say for certain that the baby is normal. Most likely yes, but not 100%. So he recommended that I have an amnio(as the chance of sample contamination is small). But I will likely have to wait 2 more weeks before I can have that done. And then obviously the 1.5 week wait time for final results. We have an u/s tomorrow to get a clearer look at the baby and any issues he might have. And then an appt with the genetics counselor(which after this test result I am really not looking forward to). I'm ready to have answers and move on with a gameplan. This whole, things might be bad, things might be ok, really sucks! I know God has a plan, and I'm thinking its to trust in him and learn to be patient. But I wished he'd try to teach the whole patience thing by making a package delivery late or something...You know, something a little less life altering. lol

I'm sorry the results weren't as clear as you were hoping for, Emily! I'll continue to say prayers for you all. {{hugs}}

I'm sure everything will be just fine Medicine's a strange thing- they overcomplicate things most of the time!

I do know that all babies start out as girls by the DNA- and that some point in development the "boy" chromosome takes over and turns it to a male- I've read that somewhere (not sure where)... so that may be another reason why it's showing male and female DNA? (I don't want to sound like a weirdo but I really have read or head that somewhere! lol)

I'm sorry you have to go through all of this- just try to take it easy and not stress out too much. I know it's hard to do, and you're probably sick of hearing that but you should try to stay as stress free as possible, for yourself and the baby. I'll continue to pray for you and your baby as well!

Emily, I'm praying for you and the baby. I wish I had something wise and comforting to say, but just know I'm praying. ((hugs))

[emmasmommy]

You're still in my prayers Emily! I hope you get something more definite soon!

[CA Dreamer]

Sorry that the Dr did not have more definite news and that a secondary step(and wait) are involved. P and PT to you guys. I hope it all turns out ok and that you get answers soon.

[Lizzy257]

I'm so sorry you didn't get a clearer answer Emily. I hope that you'll know more very soon

[Kat Stokes]

Still saying prayers for you and your family Emily!!! {{{HUGS}}}

[joelsgirl]

Well, I hope that for all this trouble, you get a perfectly healthy baby. Hugs!

[newfiemountiewife]

I'll be thinking lots of positive thoughts for you Emily, and hope that all this is for naught, and the baby is healthy. ((hugs))

[lovely1m]

I can't imagine how stressful this all has been for you. Hugs!

[~Julie~]

Im sorry you didn't get a clearer answer. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

[Jennifer]

Emily, you are in my thoughts and prayers! ♥

[meganmecrazy]

(((((HUGS))))) I'm still praying for you!

[Emmy]

Emily - big hugs, this has got to be hugely stressful! I'm so sorry you didn't get your answers, I will be praying for you and your pregnancy!

[Kara]

Hugs to you!

[lizzyfizzy]

i'm praying for you and that sweet baby!!

[Paula]

I'm praying for you and your family Emily!! I do think that things are probably ok. If I remember correctly, the father has both x and y chromosomes and babies all start off as little girls and then their defining chromosome kicks in.

I know this is an incredibly trying time for you and we're all praying for a positive outcome! Please keep us posted.
