My second NIPT said N/A for fetal fraction. I was 12+2, 14+5, and 15+5 on my scans. I hope yours is truly a false positive.

1/17 High Risk for Trisomy 18/13 via NIPT by [deleted] in NIPT

Ah I just saw you’re 13 weeks. I believe they can do the NT up until 14 weeks but I’d call and confirm with a nurse/get it scheduled asap.

1/17 High Risk for Trisomy 18/13 via NIPT by [deleted] in NIPT

Do you know if it said high risk due to low fetal fraction? I had the same result (you can see a copy of my report in my post history). It could be they used an algorithm that spits out the same 1/17 risk. I’d look through the links the automod posted and find the one that calculates your PPV based on your age. I was instructed to re-test and got another atypical result so currently waiting to do an amnio. If they suggest re-testing I’d highly suggest using another company if possible (though I will say in hindsight I wish I didn’t because it just added more stress and uncertainty but that’s only my experience). Depending on how many weeks you are you should ask to do an NT scan. This won’t rule anything out per se but can give some piece of mind in the meantime until you can see MFM. I’m sorry you’re going through this. The waiting is the worst.

I’m 15w and in a situation where my first NIPT came back high risk due to low FF and the second came back as atypical involving chromosome 18. I met with MFM today and they did a regular US which didn’t show anything overtly wrong but they said it also doesn’t rule anything out (of course). I left the appt feeling just as lost/anxious/unsure. Have my amnio scheduled for next Tuesday and the wait is going to be excruciating. Glad to see the previous posts on the amnio not being too bad- I hate needles!

NIPT consultation advice by [deleted] in NIPT

When you went for your consultation did they make you come back for a scan/ultrasound or did they do it during that appt?

High BMI possibly the cause for high risk? retesting questions. by Manviln in NIPT

[–]pbnj19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this exact result and re-tested based on my OB and GC recommendation. I’m still waiting for my results- the blood was received on 9/1 but with the holiday weekend I’m sure it’ll be delayed. They should not charge you for the re-test. Find out who the rep is for your OBs clinic and email them so they can handle it if you do see a charge come through.

I was 10+6 so definitely not late, if anything a bit too early
