[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you so much for all the thoughtful responses.  While I know that ultimately this is a decision that has to be made by both me and DH -- and no one else -- it really does help to hear the thought process that many of you went through, and are going through currently in some cases.

Hearing about the two PPs that chose to do a microarray was particularly helpful, and especially good to hear that insurance covered it (at least in one case).  But I also really appreciate the advice from 20:20 that testing can be ambiguous -- and I am truly sorry for the gut-wrenching decision you (and others) have had to make.

I'm still not not sure whether we will pursue the amnio once we get the Maternit21 results back this week, but I am a lot closer to making a decision.  For those of you that suggested a CVS, at this point it is not possible as I am 13 weeks.  Although, honestly it was not something I was interested in -- largely because a friend recently had a miscarriage after having one, which hit a little to close to home.

I have talked to my genetic counselor about a lot of this, but if I gather any additional information in my subsequent talks, I will pass it along.  Thank you again, I so appreciate you all taking the time to respond.
