Thanks for your replies ladies.

At this stage, we've decided we would not have a CVS unless there was an indication in an NT scan that would warrant it. The thought of losing a healthy bub to miscarriage from the procedure is too much - it's a risk we don't want to take. We've been through enough and we have enough risks to face in future without adding more. Not that I'm thrilled by the NT accuracy anyway. We've been that 1 in 20,000, so the stats don't mean much to me. And we know a couple of very good practitioners who do it all the time, so we know who to go to if we need to.

We've decided to take each day as it comes.

Thanks again
Hi Tashy,

We have just lost our son 41+6 born on 23 May due to genetic disease ARPKD (autopsy to confirm in about 6 weeks). I am thinking along your lines now. Do I go through with the genetics process or do I just aim to fall pregnant again and hope that our new bub will be a healthy one this time? Very hard decision and to go through all those tests and CVS etc would be a lot of added stress. I'd rather have a risk-free pregnancy (which of course is impossible), but given my age (nearly 39) I would prefer not to wait for genetics etc. I'm not sure why they can't test for ARPKD via CVS when they can test embryos for it. All a bit confusing.

I think I'm like you, if either chromosomal or genetic disorder was detected early on in pregnancy, we would not continue the pregnancy either.
