Did anyone pursue CVS testing on their triplets - in planning reduction or otherwise?
I just found out I'm pregnant with triplets after IVF - they're tri/tri. I'm at 7 weeks and have some serious thinking to do.
After consulting with a top MFM specialist, i found out that there is no one in MA willing to do CVS on triplets but there is someone in NYC apparently.
I'm a 40yr old single mother by choice and am torn by this very mixed blessing. I am overweight and this is my first pregnancy - which both put me in some higher risk categories.
I know there are many of you with reasonably successful triplet pregnancies and many who chose to reduce. It's such a personal decision so I'm more asking about early testing here.
Apparently no one has done statistical benchmarks for materinT21 on triplets and that most docs won't attempt CVS on triplets because it's so hard to ensure you've sampled all three separately.
So looking for anyone who has sought out these tests or relied on nuchal fold tests to rule out T21.
