robertaRead the web page on Dr. Maria New (Cornell University). Don’t worry and it is not such a scary thing. The dex dosage is very low.
I had the CVS testing and stopped the dosage at 10 or 12 weeks. I had ultrasounds at 8 weeks and at the CVS testing at 10 weeks. No ill effects from the dex. My children are 10, 5, and 2 (boys). The 10 and 5 year have salt wasting CAH. The 2 year old does not have CAH. You can stop the dex treatment if it is a boy. The CVS test is better because you can have it done at 10 weeks and the sex can be known within 48 hours. The CAH testing takes longer - 2 weeks but at least you can stop the dex if it is a boy.
