Re: Just got back from doctors....
My friend had the same exact thing happen. She went for an amnio and everything came back JUST FINE!! It was very frightening for her, but her baby is perfect! Try to just keep telling yourself that this is routine since so many of these tests come back with false positives. I'll be thinking of you!

Re: Just got back from doctors....

Thanks so much. I am just trying to keep my mind off of it which I know won't be easy. It's going to be a very long night. I hope the specialist can see me early tomorrow or I am going to go crazy.
first of all... and I can't even tell u to try to relax--I wouldn't be able to..but just wait and see.
I will tell u--I go to Dr. mastro every 2 weeks. He is amazing and if u look him up online he has some sick amazing reputation.
I will prepare u for him though.
He does not sugarcoat or anything, everything is told like it is where some take it as lack of bedside manner.
I have never seen that.
I take alot of info as a good thing.
Who does not want a thorough doc>
U cannot be in better hands.
If u need anything
He will refer u for amnio next.
If u have any questions about him or anything fm me anytime.
HugS!
most of the time the tests are wrong and the amnio is ok!

Re: Just got back from doctors....
There are a lot of false positives, and think even if the test is right, you still have a 138/139 chance of having a very healthy baby!!! The odds are still very much in your favor!!!

First...
Second, I know *exactly* what you're going through...I have mentioned the story several times on here that while pregnant with DD I received a 1:5 result for Down's. I was devastated and so was DH...I don't think I've ever seen him cry until that time...or since. We decided it was best to schedule an amnio. For me, I wanted to prepare one way or the other.
To be honest, I would not have opted to terminate, but DH was seriously on the fence about it. We got a lot of unsolicited advice and we learned a lot about people...both good and bad. Mostly, I learned about the power of prayer!
About 5 days later, I arrived at the hospital for my amnio appt. to find out that there was some crazy typo in my nuchal results. The baby was fine!
I frequently think about that time (especially now that I'm pregnant again) as the worst time of my life, but in reality, it was also the best. I learned just how much of a team DH and I are.
I just want you to know that the results are still OVERWHELMINGLY in your favor. Also, as you and I know...these things can be WRONG.
You need to stay calm, you need to do what's best for your family and you need to talk it out with friends and family...that helped more than anything!
Hang in there!!!
I opted NOT to have an ultrascreen but to have an amnio.
The ultrascreen is really just a screening. It is not acurate (I was told by my Dr. and the genetic counselor) and it cannot tell you for sure whether the baby has drown's or not. There is a chance that you will have a false positive or have a "normal" screening and still have chromosone issues.
Most likely they will ask you (it's always YOUR choice) if you want an amnio. It will be 99% acurate.

I went and saw Dr Mastrogiannis today. We had a sonogram and he said everything looked good. They are pretty sure its a boy! Which surprised me because I feel just like I did with Jiavana.
I'm going back on the 25th to met with the genetic counselor and on Feb 2nd for the amnio. I need to know for sure because Trisomy 13/18 is very very serious.
The nurse practioner and sono tech were great and he was very friendly as well. He made a few jokes here and there.
The wait was about 2 1/2 hours.
That's it for now..more updates to come down the road!
I'm glad everything looked good on the u/s. Good luck with the amnio.

Don't worry too much! I know.. easier said than done.
The ultrascreen is really just a screening. The amnio will be acurate.
Sorry you are going through this
