Failure and sad

Dh and I went for our scheduled genetic counseling and CVS today. I was told the counselor would have all of our previous genetics info., she didn't. That should have been a sign. After then waiting forever, we were finally taken back. The tech did a scan and told us nothing. I wasn't even sure if the baby was okay at that point. The dr. came in (same dr. that did our last CVS), said baby looked great so far, and the dr. and tech. started working on getting the position right, etc. The decision was made to go abdominally as we did with our last CVS. Once the needle was in we knew almost immediately this was not going well. The tech and dr. kept "discussing" whether or not he was in the placenta or not. He continued the test, but when he checked the sample at the end he said there were no villi in the tube. It was a failure. He then said although it looked fine on the screen, my placenta is hard to reach. He was not comfortable trying again. We will have to go for an amnio now.

I burst into tears, and I am still upset now. We wanted to wait to tell people about the baby until we knew it was okay, and now I will be 16 weeks until the amnio is done. I am also so upset that I went through the risk of CVS for nothing. Nothing!

Dh and I now have to decide when weare going to tell people and how we are going to approach things from this point forward. I am so upset, sad, and angry right now. And on top of that dealing with awful cramps as a result of being a pincushion this afternoon.
