Lis ann~Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you!!! Thanks for sharing your story with other woman(and your outcome) that may be in your boat right now and very fearful.

Congratulations Lis ann. Thanks for coming back and posting. So many times I have started following a particular thread, only to be left wondering what happened to the person who started the thread. So happy all ended well. I recently had a conversation with my doctor and have told him I couldn't terminate even if there was something wrong with the baby (being much older this really is my last chance for another child) so I didn't want to take a chance with the amnio. He said there was no point taking the quad result either then and that he sees more false positives than actual positives. He said it is one of the highest false positive tests and he has seen countless women worry throughout their pregnancies for no reason. So for any woman who has had a positive test, have faith. Also even at 1 in 48, which my odds are for downs, my doctor said that is still about a 96% chance of having a normal baby. Kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it?

This has happened 2x's to me!!!
Both times I was way scared and went through the Amnio. Both stated I had high risks of having baby with downs.
Both were false positives!
