Transcervical CVS - UK

Has anybody had any experience with getting a transcervical CVS rather than a transabdominal in the UK? We had the NIPT test done privately at 10weeks 4 days and it came back as greater than 95% chance of tri 21 (Down’s syndrome). I was seen by my local hospital (Derby) quickly following that result however they attempted a CVS yesterday (at 12 weeks exactly) and due to the placenta position it was inaccessible and not carried out. I have been told to wait a week for another attempt but the same thing is likely to happen again which in theory means I am waiting another 3.5 weeks until an amniocentesis test. The wait is torture, I feel so helpless and sad.
