What is this CVS test that you all speak of! lol
I just found it online!
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
This diagnostic test is usually performed between 8 and 11 weeks gestation, sometimes as late as 13 weeks. This is generally a test for people who have a high risk of genetic abnormalities. Test results are available within 7 to 14 days. Miscarriage rate from CVS is about 4%, recent studies indicate that if the CVS is done before 10 weeks gestation there is an added risk (.5% to 1.7%) of limb deformity, and about 3% CVS is associated with serious decline in amniotic fluid protection. There is a greater incidence of false positives because of the differences between the cellular genetic material of the choirionic villi and the fetus. There is a small chance that the sex they determine is wrong as well.

Re: Whats the earliest anyone has found what they are having?
Our tech took an "educated guess" - stressing that it was way too early and things can change - at 12 weeks that we are having a  and 25 weeks later she was right - we had a in March

Yep! Though their m/c rate looks a little high to me, the documentation I got classed it at about 1%, same as an amniocentisis. The CVS is similar to an amnio, they insert a needle (either abdominally or vaginally) - and withdraw placental cells (which have the same chromosomal makeup as the fetus). By testing the actual chromos, they can confirm abnormalities, like Trisomy 13, 18 and 21 (Downs), as well has give you a confirmed "xx"  or "xy" for gender!!
Also the lab I went to will NOT perform it outside of the 10wk to 12wk window for safety.
I had it done due to increased risk for Down's due to maternal age, and got my results the very next day, so that was a HUGE relief!!

I found out at 11 weeks that I was having a But only because I had the CVS done.
whats the CVS?
Chorionic villi sampling-they take a small piece of tissue from I think the placenta to determine genetic info
