High risk for Trisomy 18
I just received my NIPT results yesterday and it’s saying I’m high risk for Trisomy 18. After 4 years we finally have a pregnancy that has reached 12 weeks and we’re now experiencing another nightmare.
I’ve had an ectopic pregnancy with emergency surgery and removal of my fallopian tube, several miscarriages and now this. We have no living children and we are absolutely devastated by this screening.
Looking for any reassurance that this could be a false positive or anything that could give me hope. We have had normal ultrasounds with heart rate detected at 6, 8 and 11 weeks and baby measuring perfect every time.
Here’s some info!!
Age currently: 31
Age at delivery: 32
Fetal Fraction: 5.6%
Risk: 91/100
Doctor didn’t sound too reassuring when he called to discuss results with me, which has me really losing hope.
