Possibility of a False Positive?

[PreguntonaPensativa]

So I had my prenatal paternity test done in August and I obtained the much desired he can't ve excluded as the father result. Now that I am getting closer to my due date of March 11, 2016 I am very nervous the results were incorrect. Is there any possibility that I had a false positive or is it more common to get an exclusion than an inclusion? I am really worried because my bf is really really dark and I recall my one night stand was not dark at all. My bf is always saying his babies should be dark(brown) and I am not dark so I am kind of worried about my children looking so different from him. I did my test through a lab that does testing through ddc and my results have the ddc logo on them. When i called the number on Ddc's website they told me that they could not do a prenatal blood paternity test because I am carrying twins AND I could be pregnant by two men. I dont care if I am pregnant by two men what I care to know is that I am actually carrying my partners baby. So I shoppped around by calling numbers on natera's collection sites and found a reliable lab that said that it would not matter if I am carrying twins because the dna would be in the blood no matter what. Can someone give me their opinion or experience if possible?

With my one night stand we used a condom, a quickie like less than 5 minutes, and afterwards when i stood up i felt something drip plus i was wet. I freaked out.

...With my bf we had intercourse for like for seconds manybe maximim a minute then we used a condom for another minute with no ejaculation because we were tired.

It just makes me nervous because my bf never ejaculated and the odds for precum getting me preggo...come on...then my one night stand did ejaculate even though it was supposedly inside the condom.

cheer up girl I think we are all anxious about our results only time will tell, that I've seen I've only read about two false positives everywhere that I've looked.

Im really nervous because we are going to move in with each other next month. I am telling him my family does not look alike because we do not and that our babies can have blond hair and green eyes :):) so maybe appearance wont be an issue but i hope test results are right.
:(

[stephymarieee]

Not sure if I read this correctly but didn't your bf do the test with you and it showed he was the father ,you said u two would do the test just too show him would your bf still question it after zhowin

[stephymarieee]

*Showing he is the father.
Ethier way I truly think you have nothing too worry about even though I think we all or worrying . Im due in 4 weeks and I worry my results may not be right but everything does add up too ddc results and so far from the stories I read DDC picked the guy we all most likely thought too be the dad in each situation that gives a little hope and mind ease .

[PreguntonaPensativa]

Two false positives are too much :(

[PreguntonaPensativa]

I did not post the post the one with the appearance because appearance is going to be a big issue for us...aaa i dnt know where that came from :D

[PreguntonaPensativa]

We did the test together and he had the results in his hands. Yet he stil doubts they are his because of the way it happened and because I am good at desktop publishing he thinks i created the results to show he is the father. We talk about this constantly. Every week. Plus I doubt the results too because it doesnt make sense to me how I got pregnant either. Then just last night we were at a cookout and his friend was aaying that when his wife then gf got pregnant he doubted they were his because he was told he could not have children....when the child was born he did three paternity test and they all came out he was the dad. Then my bf was asking more details as if trying to say that he is going to do the same when they are born

[stephymarieee]

oh okay I see that makes sense but I have read your story and it seems too me like ddc got it right , the way it could be incorrect is if the condom broke failed but you said u guys checked and it all looked okay. And with your bf there is a chance he didn't pull out in time the odds point more too him regardless. I know we can't all help but stress.. Yess please do come back and update,Im due in 4weeks from nowso i will be letting u all know as well. Hopefully the girls on this forum update as well. When r u due??

[PreguntonaPensativa]

...when they are born...and the n i got nervous because what if the test come out he is not the father. In my mind i plan to test if i find no similarity whatsoever in the babies with him. Then i think of whats the point if the other person in question was a one night stand and i dont even have his name and way to locate him and do not want to. It would just cause more misery to me for the rest of my life. I just hope ddc/natera are right...i will update in this forum with my findings when my babies are born.

Hey girls I think its just the anxiety getting to us trust me I break down a lot. when I have my moments with my partner and he's kissing my tummy etc in my mind I'm just begging to god that this baby is his. Yes we've all read the doubtful posts but have any of them truly contested the test after birth NO not yet..... What I have found are the confirmed after birth posts about DDC so lets all remain hopeful that our tests are accurate.

[201603]

Hey girls so here is a post where you both can see that many of the DDC tests were correct. Of course there are a post or two of people claiming other wise but you may read for yourselves

I had read an article on a chimera and that all the paternity test would come out negative. Supposedly the guy had absorbed his twin in thw womb so the paternity test were not catching his DNA but of that was truw that he absorbed his twin then he would have DNA for both him and his brother wouldnt he? I wonder because if DNA is present and even if I am pregnant with twins I should have the baby fathers DNA floating in my blood right? Chimerism is a whole different thing but I wonderabout it based on the DNA that it does not show up in test...

[201603]

chimera chances are very low girl and I'm sure your dna levels are beyond high since you are carrying twins... I cannot give you a definite answer because I don't know much on the topic I don't really thing that maybe your case..... When are you do again? are you re testing secretly after birth?

[PreguntonaPensativa]

Sorry u make no sense im using my phone

[PreguntonaPensativa]

I make*

[PreguntonaPensativa]

I dont think i will as i cant create more doubt i my bf. I am hoping to confirm with the looks of the babies when they are born. I have no contact with the one night stand and nwver will so that is not an option. I do not remember how he looks, but I know I will be able to tell when the babies are born. :(

[201603]

keep positive girl idk if you read my update on two other posts of mine I was in contact with another girl who tested with DDC and she had her baby and tested with another company and the inclusion she got from DDC was correct! this gives us all more hope that our results were accurate try to enjoy your pregnancy

[PreguntonaPensativa]

So i dont know if i am being paranoid...but today i had an ultrasound a few hours ago and i had a glimpse of my daughters face in 3d and she does not look like my bf when i saw her i saw that other guys face...i dont know if i am being paranoid or what...im sad...

[201603]

it could be paranoia girl try to relax I know we all feel guilty  

[PreguntonaPensativa]

So i went to the doctor yesterday and they told me i will have my babies no later than february 17, 2016...and they let me see a glimpse of the girls facr in 3d and i dont see the baby daddies face...:(:(...waiting...

[PreguntonaPensativa]

I never thought i would wish my babies looked like their daddy as the daddy is not THAT good looking hahaha...but in this case i pray they do...or better yet just as long as they have something that will identify them as his babies. :(

[201603]

It could be anxiety getting to you girl..... I had my 3D scan and my baby looks entirely like me ! I didn't find resemblances to partner b or my bf I'll just have to wait myself

[kimkoo]

I'm glad I'm not the only one in the world stressed out about this type of situation. I am also due March this year and still not sure who my baby's daddy is. Whether its my husband or friend.

April & May period dates were from 4 - 9
June period was from 9 - 14

Had sex with friend June 17, protected
Had sex with hubby June 19 & 21 unprotected & he came

Expected due date is March 15

I've been so stressed out. I'm excited to have my baby but I'm really hoping its hubby's. You girls have any idea maybe? I thought about doing the DDC testing but scared for inaccurate results for the price. Then thought of doing a 3D/4D ultrasound, cuz the first one, baby didn't have much fat so it was hard to tell who she looked like. Not sure what to do and hubby still doesn't know. I have no clue how to even break such news to him.  :'(

[momtobe20030]

Did you end up having your baby? Also were the test results correct?

[201603]

Welcome Kim and your dates are very close to mine ! With an Edd of 3/15 it would seem you conceived later on in June around the 22nd/23rd..... I had to get a loan for my ddc test since for me it was mandatory to know ! Don't get me wrong it helps a lot just scares me sometimes of the possibility of inaccuracy... Although I've read much about ddc coming back with post birth confirmed results there are a case or two that bring doubts to me.... Keep in mind they issue thousands of these tests so what are the chances.... It's really optional only you know how much u can take... We are two months alway from reality since my results would determine continuing this pregnancy or not ( I know I sound like a monster) I had to know early on..... I say if you have made it this far it's best to wait Hun.... Do you think u will be able to tell as soon as your little one is born ? I'm due 3/12 so I'll be here waiting with u

[kimkoo]

Thanks for responding. Guess we're in this boat together. I hope that it would be easy to tell once the baby is born but I'm scared of that probability that she'll look like me and take appearances from her father months after. If I'm lucky, she'll look like my husband when she's born. I don't know if doing another 3D/4D ultrasound might help?

[PreguntonaPensativa]

I thankfully have a credit card so i used my credit card and am paying the minimum payment. To me it was important to do the prenatal paternity test at it would determine everything afterwards...The result was what I wanted, but I am carrying twins so supposedly I could get a false positive. So there are days when me and babydaddy are talking about the babies and I feel weird like if they are not his and he is so happy to be having twins. I have not had a 3d ultrasound but the lady doing the ultrasound has let me see the girls face in 3d twice. On the screen the baby looks nothing like my bf. In the printout she kind of has his nose...BUT it could be that other guys nose too but I dont remember how he looks like. I felt relieved when I received my results, but then the possibility it could be wrong kills me...
