On Friday we excitedly went along to our 20 week scan to take another peek at our no-longer so little speck. However were shocked to be told that there were two soft markers spotted in the ultrasound.
They spotted bilateral CPC’s (one quite large, with its max at about 12.9mm) and pyelectasis (5.1mm & 4.7mm).
We saw a doctor who unfortunately explained the information in a way that jarred with us and told us we’d need to make a decision about what we wanted to do with the pregnancy...
We were then immediately transferred to a genetics councillor who was more positive and recommended an amniocentesis, which we opted to go for, we’re seen immediately and are now awaiting the results of the preliminary FISH findings on Tuesday.
The original harmony testing that we did came back all clear, but we realised we haven’t actually seen the exact results.
We wouldn’t necessarily be so worried if it was just the one soft marker, but with two, and the level of concern that the initial doctor had, we’re naturally anxious as we wait for our results.
We are now living in the US, so not sure if there are differences from how this would be handled back in the U.K. I wondered if anybody else had any experience or information that could be useful, and that might stop us trying to read the entire internet.
