14 weeks and feeling great, but...

Frustrated right now because the MFM appointment on Monday did not produce enough blood in the tube for the NIPT. I had to return to the office today (Thursday) to give more blood. I'm not holding my breath, to me it looked like the same amount of blood as before. It was over a half tube only. Not a whole tube. If they call again with this issue I'm done. Here's hoping my next post will be good news in about a week from now. I'm on the fence about this test to begin with, so I hope it doesn't backfire and cause unnecessary stress. The NIPT scan went well in terms of baby, however I have an unidentified object near my csection scar but not close to baby, semi close to placenta though, which is about an inch in size and I have to go back monthly to monitor it. They don't know what it is, because it is only viewable by ultrasound. I sort of assume that it is the SCH I had before? But that would mean it got bigger when I was told it got smaller at scan 2 of 3. So I am just really unimpressed with the drs at MFM, I guess I don't expect them to be mind readers but they should have a hell of a lot more idea what it could be than I do, and of course I'm assuming the worst. Either it is something really rare which they truly don't know, or they are just trying to eek me out of more money and intervention. I guess I'm hoping for the latter.
