FISH results were supposed to be back today - by 10AM. 10 AM came and went - no results. I called the genetic counselor at the clinic and was informed that the lab is in New Mexico and their system says my test is still "in the lab." I called back at 3PM - still no results. This was only supposed to take 48 hours but we had to wait until today due to the holiday weekend.
The genetic counselor just called. Apparently the lab did not have enough of a sample to get FISH, the quick results that reveal Downs Syndrome and a few other common syndromes. The genetic counselor said the lab will not sacrifice FISH results for the full battery of test/results, which include any chromosomal abnormalities that would have been included in the FISH results. So, we'll have to wait the full two weeks for any answers. I'm not very patient when it comes to these things. Sigh....
A family of two is now three.

Oh, man. I can't believe it.
man. just when you make it through the first insane TWW to get a BFP...now you have to deal with another TWW. I'm so sorry, hon.
i'm so so sorry... It really sucks - but at least you can rest assured the results you do get will be accurate.
This would drive me insane... hugs to you guys while you wait.
