I took my nipt test at 10w & 5d my baby was measuring 9w & 5d which the doctor said it’s good because sometimes it’s alil off but my fetal fraction was low <3% which is too low for them to detect a gender I’ve googled it and it said something about Down syndrome I don’t know if I should be concerned but my anxiety is through the roof could it be because I tested too early idk what to do but Google has been making me cry all day. I got my results before my doctor did. I’ll be 12 weeks on Thursday idk guys should I test again or just wait til my 20 week anatomy scan? I need some advice 😢

Oh no babes! Don’t do that to yourself! I know how nerve wrecking that can be but if you’re measuring a week behind, it could be that you tested too early!! Google is our worst enemy! I learned that the hard way! Are you able to get an appointment and go talk to your OB?? I have longer cycles so I measured a week behind too and my OB changed the date for when I am able to go get the NIPT so most likely you just did it too early.

I had something similar happen with my first pregnancy but I got my first test done at 12 weeks so mine wasn't a great outcome. I have a feeling yours is just too early.

Honestly I would do the test again. After the second bloodwork came back, we found the baby had down syndrome and were sent to our city's genetic counselors for a further diagnosis. They did an in depth ultrasound at week 17 and found the heart didn't form correctly, massive amounts of fluid behind baby's neck, umbilical cord not coiled, and a few other unfortunate things and determined the baby wouldn't be viable and I'd risk infertility for myself if I didn't terminate. So week 18 I had my d&c which was uber traumatic because of how late it was. I just don't think I would be able to wait until 20 weeks and it would be more traumatic. Def get that second test for your own peace of mind ❤️❤️❤️
