CVS testing--how long did it take for results?

[Guest guest]

Hello all. Just found out a while ago that I am pregnant with my

second child. We have decided that we don't want to go through the

hell that we went through with our first child (11 weeks premature,

complicated meconium ileus that required major surgery, NICU for 10

weeks, g-tube fed, refuses to eat orally, etc.) so we will not

continue with the pregnancy if we find out the fetus has CF. We are

getting the CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) test done at 11 weeks.

We have been told that it can take as little as 10-14 days for test

results or up to 4 weeks. ugh.

Does anyone have experience with this type of testing (CVS)? Did it

hurt? Were they able to get a lot of tissue samples? We have to

wait a LOOONNGGGG 5 more weeks just for the test to be done.

THANKS!
