Hi all i had a CVS on tuesday my genetic counsiller has just phoned and said the results will be in a 4pm today, I am really nervous and wondered why it has only taken 2/3 days to come back does this quickness reflect your result i just cant stop thinking about it. Thankyou for your support

| we are now 12 weeks pregnant and had our cvs last thurseday the test went fine with no problems and our results are due in this friday.our youngest son was born last june with sma type1 and sadly died when he was 10 days old.my husband and myself had always said that if the test was to come back postive for sma that we would end the pregnancy but now that the date for the results is getting nearer im starting to have seconds thoughts on our descion and dont feel like i can tell my husband as he agrees strongly with the rest of the family as it was quite hard for our other three children to understand.i feel like im bonding with my baby which i tryed so hard not to do but as any pregnant mother no thats impossiable.i was just wondering what is the right decision. |

| Sadly we had to undergo our fourth termination in July of this year as our baby was diagnosed with SMARD from a CVS test. I am finding it difficult to accept another bad result. We lost our daughter Jessica to SMARD in July 2000. We are fortunate to have a healthy son Thomas who was born in January 2002. Unfortunately since 2004 four pregnancies have all ended in terminations as we were advised that the babies had inherited both SMARD mutations. This has been heartbreaking each time to give up a baby we wanted so much. I would now like to try again for another baby but terrified that we will get a bad result. I keep trying to tell myself that we shouldn't try again but I fear that I will live the rest of my life feeling sad an empty as we always wanted to be a family of four. Has anyone else gone through a similar experience that would be able to give some advice on how to move forward. |

| We lost our beautiful daughter to SMA Type 1 on the 4th July 2007 and are now faced with the decision of which route to follow for future pregnancies. Both routes seem so harsh and to be truthful the thought of waiting for the CVS test and then the test itself scares me so much, but on the other hand the success rate of PGD seems so low. |

| We lost our beautiful son luke to sma type 1 in Oct 05. We have since had 3 unsucesfull cycles of pgd at guys and are losing hope. We could try naturally but the idea of waiting for a CVS test & result terrifies me. Has anyone had any success with pgd? after how many goes? or can anyone give me some encouraging CVS stories. PLEASE? |

Hi,
I am begining to think about starting my own family and have a sibling with SMA, so have a 50/50 chance of being a carrier. Does anyone know of how I might get tested?
Many thanks for all you help.

| Hi my husband and i had fertility treatment 12 years ago and we have a boy coming up to the age of 12, when he was 2 we were told that the donor that was used carried the sma gene, they do not think that my boy has sma but are saying he could be a carrier 50/50 chance. We have asked for thenm to do the blood test to see but they are refusing to do it unless we tell our son how he was concieved but we told them that if hes a carrier we will be telling him as he needs to know but if hes not then thats our decision as we were told when we had fertility treatment, but they are still refusing to do it as they say they would be assaulting my child if they did the blood test, im at my witts end as no one will perform this blood test they say that it will not affect my sons health but maybe children he has but i disagree as it would affect his mental health in the long run.why should they have the right to force me in to a situation when its a simple blood test , i could understand if it was a operation, i just dont know what to do im concidering legal advice. |
