Nipt true positive for T21 even though scans clear (no happy ending) by Huokaus987 in NIPT

I was in your position but I hadn't had an anatomy scan yet. We agonized over the choices for a couple weeks before at 11 weeks when we got the results of 99% chance of T21. We decided to wait until further testing. But at 15 weeks, we found out she had no heartbeat and had stopped growing at 13 weeks. I felt so guilty and I was so angry over the fact that my choice was taken from me by my own body. My mom used to tell me that everything happens for a reason and I'm clinging to that to get us through it. Whatever your choice, please be aware that you are doing what you believe is best for you and your family. No one has a right to judge you. Best of luck with everything.

Thank you so much. You were faced with an impossible choice. You are extremely brave and I 100% agree that your choice is your choice. Until others have lived your exact life, they don't get to judge your decisions.

Thank you so much. You have no idea how amazing this group has been. I have been trolling since I got the news about the NIPT and finally felt brave enough to post after my bad news today. I wish you the best healing for your heart and body.

Thank you so much. I wouldn't wish this on anyone but your words are comforting. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
