We got the best results possible for the Ultrascreen. For both down syndrome and trisomy 13 & 18 we were 1/>10,000. WooHoo!!!! On the 24th I go back for a genetic sonogram to check for any abnormalities on the baby, and to get more blood work done for spina bifida and to redo the blood work for the other tests again so they can get a higher percentage.
I haven't been to the doctor in almost 2 weeks now. I go back (finally) next Thursday to the regular OB on the 19th. This waiting is absolute TORTURE!
We still don't know if we are gonna find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. I think we are both kind of torn. We can probably find out at next weeks appointment- I will be just over 16 weeks.
I watched a documentary from Netflix called, "In the Womb," with DH and my brother-in-law. DH loved it and was sooooo amazed. It was very, very sweet. His brother was kind of in shock, grossed out and amazed all at the same time. I asked DH the other day if he thought we scarred his brother for life by watching it while he was over and he told me that his brother wanted to come to the doctor with us last week after watching it, and was disappointed when he found out we were just meeting the genetic counselor! I was very suprised about that. He's really excited to be an uncle, I guess!

- My name is Jen and my husband is Ryan. We have been married since July 12th, 2008, and have been trying to get pregnant since way before that, since we knew we'd have problems. All of our issues lie within me- endometriosis, PCOS, MTHFR and Hypothyroidism. Unfortunately- luck has not been on our side yet, but we are still holding out hope!
