Update on positive Panorama test
L Jane
member
Hey guys! I had posted originally in another thread about this, but I don't want to hijack the OPs thread.
About two weeks ago I got back my Panorama test results with an increased risk for "vanishing twin or triploidy". Since there was NO evidence of there ever having been a twin, triploidy was the fear. (Triploidy is a complete extra set of chromosomes and not compatible with life). I spent days crying, worrying, etc. My OB referred me to fetal medicine where I met with a genetic counselor and the dr there. We did an ultrasound and everything appeared normal, with no signs of triploidy. I then decided to have a CVS. After 4 days the preliminary FISH results came back normal, and today the final results were also normal. Oh, and it's a BOY!!!! We currently have a girl, boy, girl.
I cannot not even describe the sense of relief that I have!!! This has been a very emotional two weeks...and I feel I can finally breathe a little bit.
A part of me wishes I'd never had the panorama test. I'm not high risk and I'm 32. I asked about the quad screen and was offered this test and decided to go with it since it's more accurate. I don't know. Guess I just have mixed feelings after the emotional roller coaster I was on for the last two weeks.

Ahhhh...so, I had the amnio yesterday. I'm waiting, once again, for two weeks for results. My doctor does not believe there is anything wrong with baby, but since I want to know for sure I decided to have the amnio.
I'm sorry that you're going through the anxiety again with the amnio. I'm still a ball of anxiety and worried all the time. Plus, I'm still hiding my pregnancy from a lot of people. Sending positive thoughts your way

My ultrasounds have all looked great as well. My gut is telling me everything is fine, but it's still not fun awaiting more results.
Eta: we announced the pregnancy about a week before I got my positive panorama test. I completely regretted doing so.

I haven't been able to fully enjoy my pregnancy either...in the back of my mind I still think "what if...." I've really debated whether I'd have the panorama again. I honestly don't know. I'm the kind of person that needs to know if something is wrong, and I know that the course of the pregnancy would change if I found out baby had a condition that wasn't compatible with life.
I've been having awful headaches due to the stress of it all. Ahhhhh.
