I just got the results of my 1st trimester screening and my Downs risk is elevated to 1/33 or a 3% chance. Now we are thinking about amnio. I'm devastated. Ladies please send hugs and prayers for our little one.
I am sorry you are going thru this----I had bad results with my first pregnancy due to a very low papp-a and ended up doing an amnio(which was fine)---so I know how scary it is!
there are many false postives when it comes to this testing please stay strong and you have a million prays from me
Same from me --
plus I just want to add we had a bad scare a few weeks ago but felt so much better after we met with a genetic counselor - they'll put it all in simpler, easier to understand terms that make it easier to handle.
Thanks ladies. I'm trying to stay positive, I mean a 3% chance means a 97% chance its not that, but the logical part of me isn't really helping the emotional part of me handle it as well as I should. Just keep praying for us if you would!
I know exactly how you feel. I have a 3% chance of having a baby with fragile x. I had the amnio on Tuesday. I was scared to death to do it, but am now so glad I did. Know, like other posters said, there are many false positive results on the screening. And also know, that you have 97% chance of everything being fine. Those are good odds!
