HI Ladies,

I am just curious to find out how many of you have had CVS or amniocentesis tests done?

My DP has an inherited genetic disorder that can cause horrible genetic mutations which both his brother and sister passed away from in early infancy.

I am already 'fertility challenged' and to be honest really frightened of going through with this kind of testing...

In my situation, it will be necessary to undergo this test as in some cases, should I become pregnant, there may be a situation where the baby will be 'incompatiable with life' (doctors terminology.) In these circumstances the baby will not live more than a few weeks and those few weeks will be filled with pain and misery for him or her.

My head is in a bit of a daze actually, I just want to hear your stories, and know how you handled this sort of situation.
