[quote=Anonymous]I am 39 and really wanted to know, so I had a CVS. Neither the screening nor the MT21 were really options for me because I am carrying twins. The CVS turned out inconclusive because of the placenta situation, so I also had an amnio. Needless to say, waiting for results caused me a lot of stress, but at least now I know that they are ok. I even had a microarray done to test for some really rare stuff. I was terrified of a miscarriage (first pregnancy, AMA, got pregnant through IVF), but I knew I needed to know, or else I would go crazy should they find any markers on the anatomy ultrasound. I will say that if you think that you MIGHT terminate for a serious abnormality, go with a CVS and don't wait for the amnio. I recommend Dr. Pinckert for both procedures, he has a lot of experience and his micarriage rates are a lot lower than what you read on the internet. As I said, I fretted like crazy over the risk, but my husband, who is the more rational type, just looked at the actual numbers Dr. Pinckert told us, which were really very low, and was not worried at all. So we went for it. The procedures were easy and I had no aftereffects.[/quote]
