The chorionic villus sampling is performed by 10 weeks of gestation. The pregnancy can be safely terminated by this time, if necessary. That is the advantage of the procedure.
A chorionic villi sampling can be performed as early as week 10 of the pregnancy.
only on a Tuesday

Amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling.
The tissue can be tested for genetic defects.
Chorionic villus sampling involves the removal of a small amount of tissue directly from the chorionic villi (minute vascular projections of the fetal chorion that combine with maternal uterine tissue to form the placenta).
Ultrasound, amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling checks for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
Amniocentesis involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid and checking the fluid for fetal tissue, metabolites, and other markers that would indicate that there is a problem with fetal development. Fetal genetic testing can be performed on the fetal cells in the amniotic fluid. Chorionic villi sampling essentially involves collecting a specific part of the placenta for genetic analysis. Since the placenta is the same genotype as the fetus it is possible to make a genetic diagnosis of the fetus based on analyzing the placenta. Chorionic villi sampling is less invasive and therefore less likely to cause fetal distress.
It is called chorionic villi sampling.
Chorionic villi are of fetal origin and eventually form the placenta
A paternity test while pregnant involves taking cells from the amniotic fluid or chorionic villi. Amniocentesis is performed in the second trimester, anywhere from the 14th-20th weeks of pregnancy (or later). Chorionic Villus Sampling is done between the 10th and 13th week. These tests are often discouraged for the sole reason of seeking paternity because of the increased miscarriage risks.
Amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling can be used to determine if the fetus has Tay-Sachs disease.
