cf testing?

hello,
If my mind serves me correctly I believe they told me I had to wait till 14 weeks of pregnancy....but I am not certain. I personally refused the test...my pregnancy was accidental but they told me 1 out of 200 babies die from the amnio so I decided not to chance it and accept whatever I was given. My son was born healthy .... we also have 1 with CF.
Best of Luck

From what I've read cf can be caught with an amniocentisis or CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling). CVS can be done between 10-13 weeks with results within a week later. Amnio can be done from 14-20 weeks plus time for results (both stats from "what to expect when you're expecting"). We were told by our OB that both procedures carry a risk (similar to the above 1 in 200) of miscarriage. She recommended that if were weren't going to change our course of action in the event of cf (abort) she'd rather not do the procedure given the risks.
