They will probably be ready late this week of next week. Anyway, The baby's tests that have come in so far are ok. All looks well, no spinebifida and no downs syndrome or anything else. It's a BOY! Now we just have to wait for the CF results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi All, Well here is the update on my amnio......... No CF results yet! I am so very frustrated as I was told 2 weeks and I have just hit three weeks without hearing about the CF. Then, today, I got a call from the genetic counselor saying that the " mouthwash " thing that they did to get 's DNA to compare with the baby's didn't work! They couldn't get enough cells or something......So now I have to drag her back for a blood draw on Thursday. I am very lucky that she is pretty good about having her blood drawn. Anyway, I really do not get why they even need her DNA since we know the mutations. they said something about new technology and the test is being done differently now so they need to compare either or against the baby to make sure that they are still able to find the mutation in . Insurance is not interested in being tested so the genzyme company say they will do for free. the way it was explained to me it sounded like maybe the baby carries my mutation but they can't find the other one, (but this is just my guesswork and I could be totally off the mark) and they do not want to give us a false " carrier only " report until they make the comparison. (or maybe that is just wishful thinking.......) Anyway, I am guessing that we are looking at yet another week without knowing. This is starting to drive me nuts! any input or advise?
