After one birth child- an IUI success- 5 more IUIs, 5 IVFs and a gorgeous baby adopted, I've just done a test and I'm pregnant. To say I'm shocked is an understatement. I felt very very complete after the arrival of our dd ( if anyone knows me from the adoption section, please don't out me - I've namechanged for this.) My ds is nearly 13, dd nearly 3 and life is just peachy. How the fuck did this happen??? I don't want this and I know that sounds so awful when we've struggled to make our family. But we're so happy with things as they are. And at 43, I've just freaked myself out reading up on the chances of there being abnormalities.
When is it possible to go for the screening tests? From reading here, I think the cvs test is offered after screening is done, and the cvs is done at around 10 weeks? I'm guessing -because I gave up charting my cycles years ago so I can't remember exactly when my last period started but it was around the June bank holiday weekend- that I'm about 5-6 weeks pg. When is it possible to get the screening done? Is this too early?
