Hi everyone, i was on mc for the past 3 days and tat was the most stressful 3 days in my whole life!
Went for my Oscar test on Wed morning. After drawing 3 tubes of blood at my gynea clinic, went to see the TMC sonographer to check bb neck thickness. BB was very coporative, got into the correct position very fast, but after a few scans, the sonograppher ask her head of dept to come in to chk on me also, t/a they sent me back to see my gynea immediately.
It turns out tat my bb's neck fluid thickness is 4mm (norm is max 2.5mm), risk of DS is 1:9!! I broke down in my gynea's room... i have to abort thr bb if further tests shows the same result .. never expected such result coz i'm still under 30..gynea gave me 2 options, to do a CVS immediately, or to wait till wk16 to do amnio test. I chose to do a CVS tat afternoon, tho this procedure has a higher chance miscarriage...
The procedure is another stressful & painful event.. imagine a long long needle poking thru yr abdominal all the way into the placenta to withdraw cells samples of the bb. tho doc gave aneasthetic jab, but can still feel the needle movement in yr tummy.... scary is the only word to describe...
Went to collect the preliminary result yesterday, so relieved to see the NORMAL .. no abnormalities detected. but my gynea is very cautious, refuse to committ tat bb 100% now, still has to wait for the detailed report in 2wks time.. if the report show tats bb has all the 46chromosomes, then can declare 100% normal. but at least for now, its a relief to know tt bb dun have DS & those major/common detectable abnormalities... and i'm carrying a boy boy (xy chromosomes)
Now praying hard that the detailed report will bring good news .... have been talking to bb everyday, telling him must b a strong & healthy little boy and hang on tight to mummy.
To all MTBs .. linda, daphne & jenn... ALL the Best for your OSCAR test. hope u all dun go thru this painful journey.
