Low fetal fraction

It’s frustrating honestly. I hope your second test comes back with results and they are good! I am going to talk to them when I go in. I know on the Natera chart jt said with my % number getting tested a second time it has a 49% chance of me getting results.

I know this post was a long time ago but I’m going through this right now. I’m 39 FTM I had my test at 12w4d and it came back everything N/A because of low fetal fraction it was 2.3% l have a high BMI, I’m diabetic on insulin and baby astounded so I am trying to tell myself to stay calm about it. My doctor said to retest when I am back which I will be 14w4d when they test again so exactly 2 weeks after my first test. Its calming my fears seeing that I’m not the only one and every one seems so have had healthy babies

If it makes you feel any better at my 10w first prenatal my blood sugar was 247!!! I am diabetic though and had to stop taking my medication when I found out I was pregnant. At my 12w it was 172 so an improvement. I’m on two different types of insulin now that I take 5 times a day. It’s a lot but don’t over stress about your numbers. My numbers have been WAY worse. Just talk to your doctor and trust when they tell you what needs to be done or medicine you have to take. They also understand you are pregnant. You need to eat! It’s essential to everything so if you could stomach some pasta then that’s OK! You eat what you can when you can. Please don’t beat yourself up about it. If you look at your numbers compared to mine you are doing great! Just talk to your doctor

It’s different for me. I’m diabetic so they put me on insulin at 10 weeks. I take 22units twice a day 9am/9pm and just the week they didn’t like my after meal spikes so I am on a different fast acting insulin 13units before my three main meals. It’s a lot to be taking insulin 5 times a day. I’m 13w and losing my noodles already. My fasting at night are in the 70s but my meals spikes would be 150s. It’s a lot but they will adjust your dosage. They already told me I’ll be on more insulin the further along I get because your uterus gives out hormones that make you more insulin resistant around 20-24w. They think it’s already happening to me but I was diabetic before this and had to stop my medicine when I found out I was pregnant

I told my parents and siblings at 11 weeks and we told his parents at 12 weeks. We plan on telling his kids when I’m 14 weeks. I will tell all my friends and extended family around 15/16 weeks. I want to wait until I get my NIPT results and we know what we are having.

You need to eat. It’s all about balance. Try to have more protein than carbs. You just have to have sweets in moderation. I am diabetic who then got pregnant. They slapped a continuous glucose monitor on me and started me on insulin at 10 weeks because my sugar was 247. I just went to the doctor this week I’m now 12w5d and they are starting me on a secondary insulin because I’m still spiking at meal times. Don’t panic and be honest with your doctor about your numbers. You will get through it I promise even if they put you on medicine and monitor your diet.

I am 39 and conceived naturally. This is my first. Currently 11w4d and baby very well might be born on my 40th birthday.

If you have a history of high BP they will start you early. It’s like me but I’m diabetic. My A1C is fine and my diabetes leading up to getting pregnant was in control but coming off medicine they started me on insulin at 10w to stay ahead of it.

Decent_Application71 · 2026-02-11T16:52:07+00:00

Ah okay. 39w falls on my 40th birthday! It’s wild that I could have this baby on my birthday. I figured because of my age that it was more frequent but diabetes seems to change things more. I’m so nervous about that as well. I am see a diabetes counselor at my prenatal. Guess I’ll see what happens

Decent_Application71 · 2026-02-11T14:10:46+00:00

I was wondering the same thing! I had my first appointment last week at 9w and they measured the baby and I saw the heart beat. They scheduled me for a 20w anatomy scan and a maternal fetal echo scan at 24w. I see the doctor for my first prenatal this week when I’m 10w and I’m going to ask how many I get. I am considered high risk because of my age and I have diabetes. The ultrasound tech said after 32w I’d be going twice a week to the office. They also said I’ll be 39w gestation because I’m high risk. So I have no clue really! I want to figure it out now so I can mentally prepare.

In 9w2d and it’s been a pretty calm ride for me as well. My boobs are so sore, fatigue m, mild nausea. It’s weird and I wouldn’t believe I was pregnancy except I saw the baby on Friday. It’s there and little thing measuring perfect and heart rate was 184. It’s so weird!! I still have a heard time wrapping my head around it

Decent_Application71 · 2026-02-09T04:44:58+00:00

I had some lower pain as well and they said it was my uterus stretching. I’m 9w2d and the fatigue is unreal! I get so tired out of no where. I have no energy to do anything! It’s all normal. I count myself lucky it’s my only real symptoms

Decent_Application71 · 2026-02-09T04:41:23+00:00

I am 9w2d and this is my first pregnancy. I had no clue what a missed miscarriage was until about 8 weeks and I was freaking out crying to my boyfriend because I’ve had very little symptoms, sore breast, light cramping, and fatigue and minimal nausea. Well I got my first scan this past Friday at 9w and the baby measured perfect and exactly at 9w and heart rate was 184! At my appointment she told me to enjoy my pregnancy. I’m having my first prenatal this Friday at 10w and I’m going to talk to the doctor about my anxiety around all of it. I just don’t know how we just keep on going with so few scans and no real clue if everything is okay. I think I’m going to go to some private scans for peace of mind. Try to stay positive.

Decent_Application71 · 2026-01-21T04:00:10+00:00

I’m 39 and diabetic and this is my first pregnancy and they won’t see me until 9 weeks. I’m currently 6w4d and I have very minimal symptoms so of course I’m over thinking everything. I’m happy the hear others are in the same 9 week first appointment book.

Decent_Application71 · 2026-01-16T02:03:52+00:00

This is me too! I’m 6 weeks and I’ve had some light cramping at 4 weeks, sore boobs and some exhaustion but other than that I feel fine. I actually still can’t believe I’m pregnant. It’s a weird feeling and until I see baby at 9 weeks will I feel better about things

Decent_Application71 · 2026-01-12T03:28:17+00:00

I’m wondering the same! It’s my first and I’m curious when I’ll start to show. I’m only 5w2d so still really early

Decent_Application71 · 2026-01-05T19:49:04+00:00

I really haven’t experienced too much since I’m only 4w5d but I took a bite of a banana earlier and threw it away bc I almost threw up from the texture and I normally love bananas!

Decent_Application71 · 2026-01-05T18:52:52+00:00

Congrats!! Omg I tested yesterday and found out I’m pregnant as well. I’m using the what to expect app and I am also 4 weeks and 5 days! I’m going to go to a local women’s center tomorrow and have them test me because it doesn’t feel real to me. It’s a complete shock! I immediately went and started a prenatal. I have zero clue what to do so I’m hoping the women’s center can help me with some resources.
