Right now I’m just doing the first trimester blood test and the nuchal translucency. I’m hoping for low risk and not have to do more.
I chose not to commit to too much just now. I’m happy to see no visible defects so far. I have pic but I’m not sure how to post it here.

Ok. Just be aware that when you get a "positive" on those, PLEASE do not panic, most of the positives are false positives and do not mean anything is wrong with the baby. Those darn tests have terrified people since they were invented and have actually caused people to abort perfectly healthy babies so I just want you to go in knowing that most positives you get on them are actually NOT positives, but are false positives.

I read that a lot. I almost wish I had decided not to but here we are. I’m not going to have an abortion anyway, so hopefully I just get a negative in the first place.

I had a false positive with my second baby. Was given a 1/3 chance that the baby was going to have Down syndrome. After doing much research, I coukdnt believe they were still offering that test. So much wasted time, stress, worry. Will definitely be going straight to the NIPT this time. Any idea at how many weeks they will offer this?

that is my opinion too...I canNOT believe they are still doing them (or that the doctors were as irresponsible with them as they were in the first place, because no one was explaining to women how common the false positives were!)
The NIP-T are offered around 10 weeks.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

The Harmony, Materniti-21 and similar tests. Your doctor will have heard of them or you can Google them. They are way more reliable than the triple/quad screens and are not invasive like the amnio and CVS tests are.

Based on the blood test and ultrasound, I got a screen negative (1:700) so I’m happily not doing anymore testing! Phew!

2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
