NT Scan results not good

[jenandjon]

So my NT scan was yesterday.  It was 2.74 and 2.78.  One time it looked like she got 3.2 but she did it several times and kept coming up with #s right around 2.75.

Under 2.5 would have been fine.  3 is the cutoff for high risk of Down's.  

DP and I have been fighting lately.  So depressed.  Needing prayers.  Hugs to all.

dont give up hope...stay optimistic...I think anything under 3 is considered in the normal range...so eventhough they are in the "higher" normal range, they are still normal. be strong..........ill pray for you !!

The only way to know 100% sure is to have an amniocentisis. You will receive the results and can make an informed decision then.

Those numbers do not sound too bad....I think anything under 3 is considered in the normal range...so eventhough they are in the "higher" normal range, they are still normal.

glad to hear your working through things. remember, its always darkest before the sun rises! thinking of you.

It looks like the blood work won't be back for 7-10 days.  I go for more blood work on the 29th and a Level II scan on the 9th of June.  Once we put everything together after that we should have a clearer picture of where we stand.  

DP and I have come to some compromises and hopefully are working through things.  Just a really tough time lately.  Hope you guys are doing OK.

There are lots of false positives try not to worry. Did you get the blood results yet?

My cousin (a doula) warned me about 1st trimester screening as there are so many false positives.  I am supposed to have the bloodwork part of it done next week and I'm not sure if I want to.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little one!  How many weeks/days were you at when you had the scan done?

[FEOT]

I agree with all the gals...these screenings have high amount of false positives.  Dont stress to much about it, you might be stressing for no reason. You and your little angel are in my prayers.

Just remember that God won't put anything on you that he think you can't handle.  I know it is hard, but like the others said there are alot of false positives this early.  You guys are in my prayers. :)

Thats why my neonatologist talked me out of doing the 1st trimester screening because of the high amount of false positives...Good Luck and prayers for ya

Dont get your hopes up yet.  Tests can always be wrong....  About you guys fighting, I think it is the universal mans PMS week or something.  It seems like no one can get along right now.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
