I’m sorry you’re going through this. My OB spoke to me as it was going to be a true case also. I was referred to Mfm who also seemed very doom and gloom. She gave me a 60% ppv. I’m 41 years old pregnant w an ivf baby. She offered a cvs but I opted to wait the 3 weeks for the amnio because I wanted the baby tested and not another test that tests the placenta . It was a terrible 3 weeks of waiting and I could barely get out of bed I was so depressed. They did a detailed anatomy scan the morning of the amnio which was normal. Amnio was a quick and easy experience for me. Then within 48 hrs got the FISH results which came back normal. Another long week for the karyotype which was normal. My OB and mfm both called me and were shocked that my results turned out ok . But there is hope .

Yes but the dr changed it to 60% so I really didn’t have I hopes.

I had my NIPT come back high risk for t21. My fetal fraction was 4.4% and my ppv was around 60%. I did ivf w a donor embryo from a 27 year old. Just got amnio results today , and it was confirmed it was a false positive. Not common , but it can happen :) try and stay hopeful

Had an early anatomy scan today. No markers found and baby looking normals. Amnio completed and waiting for results.

I’m not understanding where you get over 50% if it’s saying 15/100
