[quote=Anonymous]LJ, I'm sorry to hear your unhappy news.  How awful that they ordered the test incorrectly; I hope the sequential screen can bring you some better information.  If you're up for it, would you consider one of the cell-free DNA tests (Maternit21, verifi, etc.)?  I know it's not diagnostic, and you may feel like not doing another test, which is completely understandable.  The validation data they have on it are quite good, though, and the false positive rate is much lower than the quad screen.  Perhaps doing that could give you some useful information.

Then again, perhaps not.  If you know you wouldn't abort, just deciding to embrace the possibility and going from there may feel best.  Some people like to know in advance so they can feel more prepared, others don't.  It's such a personal decision.

The high false positive rate really is one of the major drawbacks of the test, in that it can cause so much undue anxiety.  I wish I could help, other than blathering on the internet.  I'll be sending good vibes your way.
