High NT, Stomach not visualised

I guess I’m just writing for any similar experiences. I am 12 weeks pregnant with my second baby. At my 12 week scan the nuchal translucency was measuring 5mm so we were referred to fetal medicine. I had to go through this unit with my daughter for different reasons- thankfully she is totally healthy and a joy. We had our fetal medicine appointment and they did a detailed scan where they also saw the baby’s torso and femurs were measuring small as well as not being able to visualise the stomach. We have opted for a CVS which they attempted today but couldn’t do and we need to come back next week. Needless to say we are gutted. The consultant said that this combination is cause for concern for genetic problems. We had a low risk NIPT so they are worried it could be something else. If anyone is willing to share their experience I would be grateful
