thanks very much to each of you for sharing your thoughts. even though it is such a personal decision, it really helps my thought process to hear your experiences. i really appreciate it. i just had my genetic counseling and have decided to start with the materniT21 blood test and the nuchal/blood test and see where we are. i am not going to do a CVS. if things don't look promising we can do an amnio at 16 weeks. i get the materniT21 test next week when i'll be 10wks, then another 2ww

thinking positive thoughts...
anyway, thank you so much!
