Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

We just had our triple screen back. NT was normal, but HCG was high and papp-A low. Risk for Downs Syndrome is elevated to 4x over normal women my age (33yo). Had a CVS on Friday am waiting for prelim results this week. Anyone have a similar experience? Looking for some positive stories this AM. Also, does anyone know even if there is no incidence of Downs Syndrom whether these hormonal irregularities represent another kind of problem? Any insight helpful. Thanks!

No insight, I'm sorry. But what you're going thru is exactly why I opted for an amnio. It has the most definitive answers and is actually less risky than a CVS.
[ Reply | More ]but she's having it now and doesn't have to wait 6 weeks to have an amnio. In 98% of pregnancies, the placenta DNA (which is what a CVS tests) is identical to the baby's DNA so the results are definitive. Mosaicism exists in a small % of pregnancies so you can't get genetic results until an amnio. In most NYC hospitals with experienced doctors, the risks of amnio and CVS are minimal and very close to one another. CVS is slightly "riskier" but it is also earlier and there are more m/c earlier anyway.
