I am sad- Quad Screening results :( *Updated 2 times*

Per my Dr, they'd only call if something was abnormal. Sure enough, I see a missed call from my OB this afternoon. Took forever to talk to her but found out that I am at an increased risk for Trisomy 18. I am so devastated. She did say I was 1 in 81 which seems based on research isn't too horrible but still. She suggested Harmony and moving up next ultrasound which is scheduled for September 18th. However because of my insurance, I have to first have a call with Quest's genetics counselor THEN I can go and get the blood work done for Harmony. That appointment is scheduled for Friday morning so you can bet that I will be running to Quest after that appointment (conveniently right behind my house- walking distance).
I know practically speaking, I am still at a very low risk but I cannot help but to be very upset. I've had such a rough pregnancy already with the gallbladder situation that I just wanted everything else to go right from here on out.
I could use some hugs or positive stories. Thanks for listening.
Update- I had my ultrasound on Tuesday. Both the Dr. and the Tech saw no signs of Trisomy 18 at this point. The baby's heart rate was strong, growth was right on the money, and fingers were not clenched. I have to go back again at the end of the month to get the rest of the usual anatomy scan measurements (I was 17w6d so a little early) but overall, the High Risk Dr. felt that I had way less of a chance of actually having a Trisomy 18 baby than actually having one. I still need to wait for my Panorama results to come in though. The Dr. said that unfortunately it does take the full 10 days for those results to come in. If you count the holiday, I am on Day 7 today. I am hoping that I hear something early next week so I can finally put this behind me. Thank you ladies all for your hugs and support! Oh and I am Team Pink- It's a girl! 
Update #2: I received the call I had hoping for yesterday. I am "low risk" for Trisomy 18, 21, and everything else the Panorama tested for!! Yahoo!! I feel sooooo relieved and way more excited now. Thank you ladies for the hugs, good thoughts, and support!!

Let's hope that you're like the majority of people with increased risk: worrying for nothing! Remember, the odds are in your favour!
T'S AND P'S!!!!!!
Try to stay positive through this. I know it's gotta be so hard! Thinking about you!

I know it seems impossible but try to remember the risk is fairly low. I'm sure things will be more than fine

Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
