triple test

I had my triple test 3 weeks ago . I called the doc office for results - negative. Yesterday, 3 weeks after i confirmed negative results, the doctor called to tell that the ovrall result is negative, however the AFP mark is extrimely low. He wants me to do the amnio test and level II sono. I heard amnio result takes 4 weeks- than I''ll be 27 weeks. Please advise!!

Ruby, I was going to say the same thing.  I had a very high risk of Downs Syndrome and opted for amnio.  I had FISH and got my results very quickly.  I had the amnio on a thursday and got my results on the monday.  Good luck to you, and try not to worry too much.  Many of the ladies here have had scary results and everything has turned out just fine.  In my case, I had a 1:13 risk of DS and my baby boy is absolutely fine!!

There's something called FISH-- you can pay extra to have a quick amnio result given to you in a few days' time. Then they still do the regular analysis and give you the full results in a few weeks. Try asking for that to move your results along sooner.

The level II sono you should be able to have now, and in your shoes I'd be asking to schedule that asap. Not because there's necessarily anything wrong, but just because it would make me feel better to be doing something. :)
