Abnormal test results

[kinipela7]

I had an NT scan last week and the ultrasound measurements itself were completely normal.  My bloodwork came back abnormal today and put me at a risk of 1:5 for Trisomy.  I'm freaking out.  I go in tomorrow to get the Materniti21 test which is 98% accurate but results won't come back for another 8-10 days.  Has this happened to anyone before?  What was the outcome?  I am sick to my stomach with fear!

Googling leads me to believe that 1st tri screening give lots of false positives but we never had an issue with DD.  The doc said it's not often that she sees results like mine but she did confirm lots of false positives especially for Trisomy since its so rare.

Oh, kinipela7! I'm so sorry. FWIW, I have had 2 friends who have had false positives.

My Harmony results only took 5 days to come back- and 3 business days. I hope you get your results back quickly!

I don't have anything to contribute, but just wanted to say hugs. Hope the next two weeks fly by and you get better results.

(((Hugs))) kinipela7. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Did they give you any idea of what kind of trisomy it could be? I only ask because some aren't that severe - Down syndrome is a trisomy, for example.

I noticed a thread today on Parenting about a similar situtation and I believe several people shared stories aboit false positives. It may give you some comfort to check it out. I'm keeping you and your little one in my thoughts and prayers and hoping for the best possible outcome.

kinipela7, I'm kinda in the boat with you. I haven't had the blood work done, but my doctor noticed slightly larger than she'd expect kidneys on my little one. For us, it would be downs if there is something wrong. I'm waiting for blood work to come back as well. ~huge hugs~ I wish I hadn't looked anything up >< I suddenly hate my age.

Hugs. I have no advice but I hope you get answers soon.

[kinipela7]

missi - ugh I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope you get answers so very soon!

[mosdub]

I don't have experience, but hope this is all just a scare and that the results come back healthy Thinking of you and missi as you both await your results.

[bookish]

No advice, just virtual hugs. I hope results come back quickly.

Big hugs - my BFF got a false positive on her bloodwork, and that turned out okay. I can't say if her results were like yours but the blood tests and U/S measure

[skk]

More hugs being sent your way. I hope the days pass quickly and you both get answers soon.

Same for you.  It's so hard to wait.

Ugh, hugs to you. I hope your results come back quickly. Sending all the good thoughts your way in the coming day.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this and the uncertainty. I hope you get your results quickly and baby is healthy.

I hope your results come back quickly. One of the first things a stranger warned me about when I was pregnant was that false positives were very common.

Hugs! Sorry you are in limbo waiting :/ I hope you get answers soon.

I am so sorry for the fear and anxiety you are dealing with. I hope it is all for nothing and you will be yet another anecdote of a false positive.
I have heard several people talk about getting false positives, including on my first bmb.
Best wishes! Be good to yourself while you wait for results.

[kinipela7]

Appreciate the well wishes everyone!

I have no advice, just hugs! Hoping just a false positive. I'll be thinking good thoughts!
