They called three days later with the good news that the FISH (Fluorescent in-situ hybridization) rapid but limited results were back and that they showed no anomolies. These results cover 95% of all chromosonal abnormalities including Trisomy 18 and Down's Syndrome, the two that we were most concerned about. They also confirmed it was a boy, though with the number of ultrasounds we had had by now, there was little doubt. We were elated by the good news, although oddly enough we had pretty much known that this was the case and should have just trusted our instinct.
The full amniocentesis results didn't come back until April 24th, the following Friday and 10 days after the sample was taken. They also confirmed that there was no abnormalities, which was a wonderful reassurance to have, regardless of how confident we felt about this particular issue.
