[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old thread but I am going through this right now. At 12 weeks I received a positive for T21 on a Maternit21 test with 12% fetal fraction. Given my age (36) the PPV is 89% (so only 11% of the time the positive is false). I did a CVS yesterday and before the test they did a sonogram and did not see a thickened nuchal fold, and they did see a nasal bone, but I know a good percentage of downs cases go undetected by ultrasound.

I’m very confused about making a decision based on the early FISH results vs the full Karyotype vs waiting for an amino in case there is mosaicism in the placenta. And to add another wrench in things, at 5.5 weeks my doctor found another yolk sac that disappeared around 7 weeks that could be confounding things - but the doctor believes it was an identical twin so the DNA of both should be the same right?

Would love to hear from anyone who has been through something similar! I feel so lucky to already have 3 healthy kids and we saw the fourth as being a cherry on top, but now I  can’t shake the feeling that we were being too greedy. The thought of having to consider whether to choose to terminate (vs miscarriage - I’ve had 3) is truly awful.[/quote]
