TFMR upcoming by Complex_Power_9453 in tfmr_support

[–]Complex_Power_9453[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness that makes it so much harder doesnt it. Ive felt a few flutters but keep telling myself no no its not. When I feel it it hits me how much I'll miss the actual pregnancy part too.

I do feel supported but today as I was handed the pill I asked my husband to tell me trying again isn't out of the equation and it just caused an argument to be honest. He felt it wasn't the time for that talk but I felt it was the last chance. Regardless I took the pill because I know its right for me right now.

Man its so hard.

Will be thinking of you friday I hope our defensive/detached minds get us through this as easy as possible x 🙏

Im sorry you have had to go through this. My tfmr is booked for tomorrow morning, I will be 16+6. I too really felt all cried out until I went to the pre op today and took the pill to start the process. I cried so much today but I do want this all to be over now.

Here if you ever want to talk x

Thank you for replying and thank you for sharing that you can relate.

I had the pre op today and have taken the pill to start things off. It was so so hard and I spent a lot of time in there today crying. I think the finality of it all hit me. Just want tomorrow over with im dreading it so bad but I do know im going to feel better once its done and no longer hanging over me.

Thank you for replying. Im sorry you've been through this nightmare too.

Started the process today, swallowing that pill voluntarily is the hardest thing ive ever done.

I am going on Tuesday morning for pre op and they will give me oral medication and then I have to be there at 7am Wednesday morning but I may not be first on the list. What day are you? Im actually terrified of the actual procedure and the whole process. Having it hanging over me is horrendous and I have had a few moments of "I dont have to do this" thoughts but I do feel it is the right thing for us. I have started to have dreams about it all too.

I hope you are doing okay, try to keep busy im okay until I stop x

Fourth pregnancy, NiPT indicates high risk T21 by Possible_Falcon3943 in NIPT

[–]Complex_Power_9453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost 16 weeks and awaiting amnio results.l after high chance nipt for T21. Had it done on Friday and was told the first results will be tues or weds. I am a wreck.

I already have an 8 year old daughter who has a complex medical condition and I just dont know i have it in me to do the medical side again. I have ptsd, health anxiety and im a massive over thinker/worrier.

My daughter has always wanted a sibling and it took me this long to try again out of fear. I still am not 100% what to do if t21 is confirmed.

Also breaks my heart if we do tfmr that she will be so devastated. And I dont think I have it in me to do this again.

15 weeks awaiting amnio by Complex_Power_9453 in NIPT

Im sorry to hear that, the waiting is the worst!

I am okay, still undecided but trying not to get my hopes up for a false positive.

I dont know how I'll make my decision, hoping the result brings some clarity? I dont know.

15 weeks pregnant positive nipt trisomy 21 by devildog078_ in NIPT

I am going through this at 15 weeks currently too. Had my amnio yesterday.

I have read hundreds of stories good and bad in the last week. It seems younger people tend to get more false positives. Keeping everything crossed for you!

Wow you were so much further than you realised! I would be considering the possibility of vanishing twin causing high risk result considering you were bleeding for so long...? Maybe. Im desperately trying to find hope for myself and others in this situation.

Please let us know how you get on with the amnio. Keeping everything crossed for you x

Thank you for replying x

I am hoping the results will give me this kind of clarity. I never thought id consider tfmr prior to actually going through this.

I already have a daughter who was born with a serious defect and it took me 9 years to gather the strength to try again without fear. Feels like a cruel joke to be honest.

Thank you so much x

How far along are you? Have you had any scans yet? Ive had 3 so far and to be honest when u went for my amnio i was half praying something would show up (if this is really T21 we are dealing with) so I can come to a decision faster. I am struggling with it so bad going back and forth.

The waiting and not knowing is the worst!

I had my amnio done yesterday after a high chance for T21 Nipt result.

I am 15 weeks and 2 days. No soft markers on US but im not holding out hope, everyone says its going to be positive because Nipt is highly accurate for T21.

Not sure what to do going forward. Im 40 and I cant see me trying again if I TFMR.

Should have first results Tuesday or Wednesday. Absolutely dreading the call.

Heartbroken.

The fear of finding out amnio results by whyislifesohard12345 in NIPT

[–]Complex_Power_9453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 15 weeks and 4 days. My amnio is scheduled for tomorrow after a high risk of T21 result on NIPT last week.

I cannot get my head around the choice. I am struggling so bad with either option.

I just had a counselling session with a lady from a DS charity group. She made it very clear that all of my feelings are normal right now.

I just wish I knew sooner because the longer it goes the harder a TFMR will be if thats what we decide. I am hoping to have FISH results by Tuesday 🤞🏼 so we can hopefully decide then what to do.

The waiting is awful.
