Trisomy 18

I had my NT scan and blood work done. I received a call from my doctor that they recommend I have an amnio done since they detected trisomy 18 in the blood work. My appointment is next week Wednesday and then I have to wait ten days for the results. I'm so worry and can't seem to stop crying. Has anyone had a false result from the NT and blood work? Thank you.

  • I don't have experience with that, but I hope everything is ok and you get great results with the amnio!

  • I'm sorry you are going through this. Did they tell you what your ratio is? It's not a positive vs negative with the NTscan, but an elevated risk. Your risk could be elevated to something like 1 in 100 which is still very, very low. I can't imagine how st

    Your LO has a 1.4% chance if it's 1/71.  If you think of it like that, it may take some weight off of your shoulders.  I have nothing more to add, except that you'll be in my thoughts. 
  • Hoping you get good results!!

  • My DS had a 1 in 80 chance and he's healthy. And this one has a 1 in 54 chance and she is healthy. So try not to worry so much! Thoughts and prayers coming your way
  • I have no experience, but just want to say I feel for you in having to wait. Even those few days will seem like an eternity, but it will eventually get here. Hang in there, and I think you have a high likelihood of good news!
  • So sorry you're going through this.  T&P's for good amino results!
    Hoping this one stays put a little longer

  • Hi, I was just wondering what the outcome (so far) was for you and your baby? How did the amnio go? I just got the call my risk for Trisomy 18 yesterday and would love to hear more about your experience. I hope you got nothing but great news.

  • I was confused why this would be showing in August bc now would be waaay late for those type of test results. I'm glad to hear this is "old news" and LO is fine.
