Inconclusive CVS

After 2 missed miscarriages last year, you can imagine my delight to reach to our 12 week scan and hear a strong heartbeat. That magical moment followed by the words that with NT of 3.6mm we were potentially high risk.
Bloods returned giving us 1:11 for Downs & 1:55 for both other Trysomy's. We opted for the CVS the following day, receiving a call 3 days later the midwife advised Downs was showing on the results, but the report advised inconclusive and suggested a amniocentesis to try to confirm.
We've since waited 2 weeks for the amnio (which is booked in for Tuesday) - currently feel like i'm caught up in a living nightmare, feeling more pregnant by the day but since we haven't had that "hey everyone we're expecting moment" i'm silently riding an emotional rollercoaster that I can no idea of the outcome.

I've never wanted something more than this right now, but finding the enormity of the results a little overwhelming to say the least. Anyone have any words of wisdom?

I had a CVS last year for suspected trisomy 18 and waiting for the results was the worst part. I can’t imagine how difficult this wait is for you.

Maybe you could try and do some nice things over the next few days, to take your mind off of he wait and to make some positive memories (however much I hate that phrase) during this time. Sadly, we had to end our pregnancy after the results but I found it reassuring that I could remember some nice things i’d Done with my baby, especially when it came to the anniversary of his birth a couple of months ago.
