I am awiting my CVS test results. It has been five weeks. They just called and said they can find the mutation in my blood work but not my husbands. He must have a rare mutation (not one of the 10 most common they test for). So they want to run bloodwork on my daughter (SWCAH) and hopefully from that will be able to determine if this baby has CAH or not.

Has anyone ever heard of a case where they could not determine if the fetus has CAH or not? If that is the case do I stay on the dex the whole pregnancy? And what are the side effects of dex for 9 months on an unaffected child? I was ready to deal with exposure for 7-9 weeks but don’t know about long term.
