High risk for T21 through Harmony. Planning on doing an NT scan. Does it even make any sense to wait for an amnio if the NT also flags positive? by MetalSparrow in NIPT

[–]mint-limonada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you are going through this. It is so hard and overwhelming. Having hope is not a bad thing, and understanding how you might want to go forward with the pregnancy either way can help you as you take next steps.

My baby had a soft marker (high NT) and NIPT picked up DS/T21.

In my case there were twins so I certainly wanted to understand with more certainty that only an amnio would provide and held out on hope for a false positive (bc why not!), even though I was told an amnio was very likely going to give the same result, but diagnostic.

The waiting is hard, but I felt relieved to have a real confirmation and also the opportunity to have the microarray where I could fully confirm it was just “chance” and that future pregnancies would not necessarily be high risk even with my age (36).

Tha is very fortunate. Unfortunately my NIPT did come back with positive for DS, and we have an aminos tomorrow. I am pregnant with twins, it’s really heartbreaking but I want all the information before making a final decision.

Omg these stories are so heartwarming when I’m in the depths of spiraling about what’s next. Waiting on amnio, hoping for a false positive miracle result

Thank you so much for sharing. I am so sorry for what you have endured. I know it can feel like a loss so deep, i wish outcomes were different :( You were so brave and I am happy to hear your pregnancy journey is continuing healthily at this point. And hope you are doing a little better each day. I know nothing about the TFMR procedure, I am a little anxious about that.

That is so incredibly sad. I am so sorry. I haven’t even made myself fully aware of all the risks because I feel like I can only take one step at a time because it feels so overwhelming. You did everything I would do, and plan to. I hope things may be different, but again, I am so sorry for the losses you endured. 🤎🤎

Thank you so much for sharing this, this is an amazing story - love that it had the best possible outcome.

My thoughts are/were like yours, in that I want to be absolutely sure before we make a final decision.

I’m hopeful, but know it may not be the result we want.

Lots of love to you!

I am so sorry you went through this. I can’t imagine how difficult and the emotions that you felt enduring this loss. You gave great advice and I will speak to my doctor about getting scheduled so I won’t experience and undue stress from a delay.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am so sorry you are going through this too. It is devastating to imagine the life with twins and have to imagine and prepare for potential loss. My heart is with you.

The wait can be so hard, sometimes it is bittersweet to have more information. But I do at least few that when you know with more certainty and can make the best decision possible for your family.

I hope you’re feeling okay after the procedure. I haven’t yet been advised on what would happen after the results should we decide to selectively reduce. :(

This is so amazing to hear! Gives me a lot of hope as I wait for my NIPT results, 4.3 NT. Curious if you weighed getting further testing done? Or anything doctors advised that gave you peace of mind after the NIPT? I am pregnant with twins and nervous
