Update: SIL finally got the chromosome tests back and DEEP BREATH...everything is okay this time! They did tests on the chromosome paris 21, 18 and 13 and the results are perfect. They also told her it's a boy! She is still cautious though, and has been told she will be treated as a high-risk case anyway throughout the pregnancy.
Now we're waiting on DH's results coming back, but this news has certainly been uplifting for all of us!

Hi

Me and my hubby are ttc # 1. He was born with a unilateral cleft lip-his mum and brother were born with cleft lip and palate and so were his mum's twin cousins. Around a year and a half ago we approached our GP and mentioned this (at that point were were not ttc). We have spoken to a geneticist and hubby has had some blood tests done and things are complicated. In March he had some more blood tests done-we are still waiting for results but have continued ttc regardless of this due to the information that we have received so far. Hopefully we should hear in the New Year (if not we should do some chasing).

That's an awful long time to wait! We waited three weeks I think
