Hi everyone, thanks for the well wishes!

I have had a six week and a follow up 8 week scan and things seem to be going well so far, except the bone crushing tiredness, some nausea and now a hideous virus that has forced me to miss work all week. I was going to have the flu shot a few weeks ago but my FS asked me to wait till 10 weeks.

I am still in more than a little disbelief. Everyone said it only takes one, but after so many disappointments I kind of discounted that. I have never been so happy to be wrong! DP is still very cautious and is worried things might yet go astray, but it gives us both hope since we have never been this far before. So I'm 9 weeks now and see the OB in 1 1/2 weeks.

As for the testing, their paper work really freaked me out, so I spent ages on the net and found that you can do a blood test that is 99% accurate (Panorama). Unless my OB convinces me otherwise, I think I will go with that since it is not invasive and carries no risk. After everything that we have invested to get this far I don't care that its not covered by medicare etc. The only thing it doesn't seem to cover is spina bifida, but neither does CVS.

Elarwood, glad to hear things is the maternal21 test a CVS or amnio, I'm not familiar with that one?

Snazzy, 2/6 is a fantastic result! All the best with your transfer.

Joe, it is great that you have found something to help keep you sane with everything you have going on. I think a rollercoaster is a very accurate description! The waiting times for PGD are cruel, I had a 3 month wait, glad you have managed to sort something out.
