I got the amnio and it was not painful at all. The cvs hurt a little I even said to my DR I would do it again. After my amnio my dr showed me the heart beat. My dr told me once he gets the needle in he does not move it unlike some other doctors may. All I know I was shocked how fast it was and how not painful it was for me. I understand your doctors all recommending the materni/harmony/verifi and others. These test is just a screening not a diagnostic test. I think it's great it's our choice. It's a 90% correct chance, but there will be that one person who comes up with a negative test and they find out something is wrong my dr said. I trust my baby's placenta & amniotic fluid more then I would trust the blood that is taken from my arm not my baby. This is me though not you. No one wants to take the risk and get an amnio/cvs since something may happen, but everyone needs to know that materni21/harmony/verifi has their risks also! I just want everyone to feel comfortable with their decision that this test isn't 100%. I am not saying that any of these tests are. My dr and atomic recommended I did not take the amnio, but I wanted to be 100% sure. Yes I got the cvs and the amnio. I took mateni21 and I hate that test!! I looked up so many stories on reverse results and look them up. And, I was told that materni21 is not FDA approved but only for Down 21. So that means xxx, xxy , turners syndrome, down 13 & 18 there can be negative and positive wrong results in both directions. I look at this situation as me being lucky. I was told also if materni came up negative to trust it! I'm thankful I found out the truth about this test. I don't recommend any tests that are screenings.
FYI materni21 and I'm sure the other ones is not even FDA approved. I only learned that it isn't FDA approved until after I had a false positive. It would of been nice if they told me before the test. It would be nice if they told the public about false tests since no one knows it exists! Luckily, no one over 35 is forced to take an amnio or a Cvs but luckily we know the possible risks of not taking it and whatever anyone decisions are I feel it's my responsibility to let all of you know both sides. There are false negatives with these tests too!
My amnio came back normal for fish.
I'm waiting for full results next week, but all looks good!!
