Really sorry you are going through. If you want peace of mind you can speak to your OB about doing further tests like CVS to know for sure. Trisomy 18 is one that you want to know earlier than later so that you can make an informed decision. I'm wishing you all the best.akmhbm924 said:I had my maternal quad screen last week, and today I got the call that my Trisomy 18 test came back elevated at 1/9. Anything under 1/100 is considered abnormal. I'm so scared now! I know that it's just a screening test, but 1/9 is scary. Anyone else have experience with elevated Trisomy 18 risk and have a happy ending story? Thanks ladies..
Here is my happy ending story for you. My sister was told that her baby had a 1/20 risk of Down's. She continued along and decided to not think about it. As her pregnancy progressed, they did further tests and found out the odds decreased dramatically to something like 1/100 and Eliza came out with zero genetic defects and just turned 2 a couple of weeks ago! Hope this story makes you feel better xxakmhbm924 said:Thanks ladies, I had the blood test on the same day I had to have a cervical biopsy taken during a colposcopy, and honestly didn't give the quad screen a second thought until I got the call. I'm doing my research, just wanted some happy endings to help myself feel better
