Quad testing?
Ok I am freaking out. I opted out of the 1st tri genetic testing, husband and I were very set on not finding out because it wouldn't matter anyway. We did not want to do it. So, I just hit 16 weeks this weekend. I had an appt on Friday where my doctor told me it was time for my 2nd tri quad screen test. I didn't question it and did the blood draw. Less than 24 hours later I got a call saying I need to come in to discuss my results. My doctor doesnt call about results unless it's bad.
I finally got a nurse to tell me that I tested positive for down syndrome. Naturally, I am devastated and freaking out. I have been googling it and it appears that this test is just a continuation of the 1st tri genetic testing?!?! Wtf? I specifically did not want genetic testing. Why would my doctor make me do this?
Google also says that there are a lot of false positives!?
Someone please help me understand what is going on. I have been crying for 2 hours and am at a loss as to what to do now.
Obviously, I'm going to love and cherish my son regardless, but ffs, literally all my dreams have just gone flying out the window.
