>I belong to an HMO. I am 8 weeks pregnant and just had my first OB visit last week. I will be 40 at delivery, have one healthy child, one miscarriage. At the time of my appointment, I requested CVS. The doctor just called to inform me that he can send me for genetic counseling but that "they do not do CVS". Now what? I have called the prenatal clinic, who said that they do not perform it and even called Planned Parenthood, who had no ideas. Going online, I can find a lot of information on CVS and it does look like the right choice for me and my family rather than waiting for an amnio. But, how do I find where to have the proceedure done, and I assume I can't just walk in and say, "Give me CVS"? So it is great that the testing exists, but it does not do me any good if I can't have it. Any ideas?
