Has anyone received this call. I’m freaking out. Doctor said everything looked normal on ultrasound. NT was fine. I came down low risk for Down syndrome but high risk for T13 and T18. I will need to speak with genetic counselor and schedule further testing. Help who has gone through this and been fine? I’m a mess 😩😩😩😩

Last september I came back high risk for t13. Upon meeting with the genetic counselors they explained how rare this was and more often they do see false positives. I did so much research and SO MANY women had false positives with great outcomes. A good sign is your NT Scan being normal... mine was double around 3.9-4.1 which was a res flag. I did opt for the amnio because I wanted to know for sure how to treat and prepare for whatever was going to happen. The amnio did confirm t13 along with an in depth scan at 17w showing brain and heart abnormalities. I was that very very small percentage, just know the odds are actually on your side. I know it’s very tough! Good luck and hope it’s just a false positive.

My friend came back positive for t18 and after further testing all was fine! The test does have an incidence of false positives, I know it’s hard but try to stay calm until you know more💕💕

This makes me want to skip these tests...if I’m not going to terminate them won’t the results just stress me out? Is there a reason to take them I am high risk as well

The first trimester screening is given to everyone to test for risks. I’m refusing to do invasive testing though.

That’s why we chose not to do the testing

I haven't personally, but my sister in law has. She had a lot of additional testing to confirm, so try not to stress until you get to that point!

My last 3 kids came back with something like that I can’t remember what. I had to go regularly for ultrasounds for all of them and all my babies are healthy. No issues.
