With my current pregnancy I did CVS testing on twins and an amnio later on one. We found out from the CVS that one likely had Turners syndrome. Since they didn't get a good sample on the other baby they recommended amnios on both 4 weeks later. At that time we found we had lost one of the babies and did an amnio on the other to make sure he was healthy. All of the procedures were tolerable pain wise for me and I am not too good with that stuff. If you would terminate I would try to do the CVS since the earliest they would do the amnios for me was 15 1/2 weeks and then u wait 10-14 days much harder to terminate at that point. My doctor was very skilled and I had no issues from any of the procedures no spotting and minimal discomfort for a day or so. I just rested for 48 hrs after each. Good luck with your decision on what testing to do. My doctor wasn't even concerned about any genetic disorders with the twins, I am 35 though, I pushed for it since it was twins and I needed to know they were healthy and the results were surprising but I am glad I did all of the testing I did. Also for us to even do the testing speaking with a genetic counselor first was part of the process.
