And also, it was around 1469 US dollars. And for the fast test result 3 days, an extra 514 US dollars.
Hi, and welcome to the forum.
You ask if 1661 SNP is enough. Especially since they are a U.S. company, where people can (and will) sue for something called "wrongful birth" if a mistake is made, I would trust their assertion that testing 1661 SNP means 0.00%. They would equivocate, if it was not enough according to their scientists. The DDC has a good reputation, and it has professional reasons to get it right, and legal reasons as well.
We get the question of whether a reputable lab could be wrong on this forum pretty much only when the woman has only tested with one man. Something about hiding from the important person that a DNA test was necessary makes women worry about even the best of labs. You said "my ex, who now, after testing positive, is Working on building a relationship..." did you really mean he, himself, tested positive? Or were you merely saying that since your flame tested negative, you are assuming your ex tested positive?
Obviously the easiest way to be confident in a prenatal DNA test is to test with both men. One of them will be excluded and one will be affirmed, and each test confirms the other. If you are saying that you did test with both men and your flame came up negative and your ex tested as the father, just believe the tests and relax.
However, because you are not certain, it sounds like you only tested with the one man. If that is the case, you have two choices. You can believe the exclusion, which sounds pretty definite. Or you can test with the other guy. (And, lest you think that is perhaps redundant, believe me, some women who have written in on this site have done not two, but three tests before they can bring themselves to believe the results. It isn't because of lab errors but because they are just so anxious.)
My suggestion is that since you saw the swabs handled correctly and do not suspect any kind of fraud, and since the results from the DDC were definite, you should go along with your flame's opinion that he is not the dad. But if you are super uncomfortable, you could also do a test with your ex.
I will also note, as far as reports on this forum say, there are two labs that do top quality work in this field, Ravgen and the DDC.
If you do want to be absolutely certain without telling your ex that there is a reason to test, and if you are willing to pay the big fees that prenatal testing costs one more time, Ravgen does offer "discreet testing," using a guy's toothbrush or a swab taken from the edge of his drinking glass. Honesty is simpler, and trusting the DDC's results is cheaper. But some women feel they cannot tell the man that a DNA test is needed because of the way the relationship is. If you are in this position and really nervous, you could go the "discreet testing" route with your ex.
Hi!
and thank you for your very elaborate answer.
I meant since I tested positive for pregnancy.
my ex was not the one who tested positive :)
I also don't think I can find anywhere that DDC made mistakes in their lab.
then it has probably been due to how the DNA has been handled until it arrived at them
. consciously or unconsciously. I also think that it is because of my nervousness about the situation that I doubt the reliability of the test.
I have chosen to have an abortion today.. I read in several forums/websites how everyone who has had a doubt an not been able to enjoy the pregnancy and for many it has been unbearable.
I am only in week 11+ and have therefore chosen an abortion. although I have also spent many hours reading about ddc and there results. I have so far only seen how their results have been confirmed after birth. which is so amazing! but I personally cannot be in these feelings for the next many, many months.
I wish you all the best of luck with your pregnancies and births!
