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!!

  • T&P to you! I know it's really scary and stressful. I also know this may not make you feel better, but the scan was a screening, and not diagnostic. There is still a very good chance the baby is perfectly fine. Keep us update.

  • Thoughts and prayers with you!
  • I'm so sorry you have to be put through this. Like previous posters mentioned, this is just a screening, the harmony will give you accurate results. In most cases with the odds you were given, the baby turns out to be perfectly fine. Makes you wonder why they even still offer these tests when they cause so much worry  and more accurate ones are now available. (((HUGS)))

  • I'm so sorry you are going through this.  I echo others - your chances are still slim.  Also, did you have a first trimester screen?  If that screen came back normal and this is just a little elevated, then I would really try to focus on "big picture".  

    If it makes you feel any better, a doctor at the clinic I work at does not like to order quad screens for patients under the age of 35 (I think you are under 35, right?).  She feels they too often come back with an elevated risk which causes a whole lot of worry for no reason - because usually the babies are just fine.
