Just frustrated and wanting to vent. I know others have waited a lot longer for results than I have had to if they choose to wait for amniocentesis but man…. This is so tough and the constant pushback is infuriating.
I got a CVS on 4/22 after a high risk Natera NIPT result for 22q (53% PPV) and my doctor told me that the FISH result would be in that Friday. Friday comes, and the office calls me and pushes results to Monday due to processing times at LabCorp.
All weekend, I am in impending doom mode. Monday comes and they call me, saying the doctor misquoted me and hopefully I get my results 4-7 days after my test, meaning this Monday or Tuesday.
Tuesday comes, and no call. I call at end of day and they tell me that most likely, we’ll get results Wednesday. Worst case scenario since that’s the last possible day in my timeframe.
I worked from home today with my phone on loud, waiting for a call, only to get a call at 5 PM that my results still aren’t in and they’re hoping for end of week.
I got my NIPT results on 4/15 and my whole life has been on hold ever since. It’s so frustrating to keep thinking I’ll get results and then I’m not. Has anyone else experienced this? Does delayed results mean incoming bad news?
