| 3/25/2012 | It's too soon to know if this is anything worrisome or not since they don't have enough information to provide you yet, thus the need for the ultrasound. There aren't any terms you've included in your posting that sounds particularly worrisome however. So follow through with your ultrasound next week at which time they should be able to give you a more definitive answer. remember that 80% of the time the outcome is fine. | ||
