*TW* UPDATE 5/16 DNA results in, concerning

My blood test results came back positive for Trisomy 13.  My husband and I had a meeting right away with a genetic counselor. She said it is the Trisomy that has the most false positives, but there is still a 2/3 chance that the baby has it. The 12 week ultrasound looked good, NT measurement was 2.4, baby was measuring ahead and there was nothing else that would be considered a marker.  Next step will be an amnio on May 11.  Until then, I live in hell. 

UPDATE: 

Hey ladies, I thought you deserved an update on my results. The preliminary findings of the amnio did come back positive for Trisomy 13. I don't think I have to explain to any of you what that means, and to say I'm devastated would be an understatement. Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers, keep sending them my way if you can. I was pretty sure this would be the result, but I still can't believe that this is real life. I'm probably going to stop participating in posts, but I can't say that I won't lurk here sometimes.  My plan as it stands is to carry the baby till he can be born or he passes.

  • Ugh, I hate how they provide this information and then expect moms to wait for the next scan or test...I'm so sorry.  Try to think positive, I know it's hard.  Hugs, T&P's.
  • I'm so sorry you are going through this! I hope everything turns out fine. Hugs!
  • I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope you find out more soon.
  • @KDeola I'm so sorry you're having to wait out such scary news. My blood test results should come back this week and that is all I can think about. Just remember that even at the worst, that's still a 33% chance that your baby's perfectly normal, and as they said, it's very possibly a false positive. Hugs and thoughts with fingers crossed through your wait.

  • Oh no!  So sorry to hear this!  Hope its just a false positive!  By blood test, do you mean like a harmony test or maternit21 test?  If you havent taken them, I'd ask your doctor if you could.  It eould be less envasive than an amino.
