Tmfr based on Amnio FISH or wait
I posted a while back about my positive NIPT for T13 and although I didn't get many replies most people were positive that false positives do happen. We have been for several scans with not one soft marker for T13. All the paperwork says " structurally normal male fetus " . We went for amnio 3 days ago and the MFM dr said - i would be very suprised if this is positive. Fast forward 2 days to FISH results which just say ABNORMAL 3 copies detected which is indicative of fetus with Trisomy 13. My heart is shattered. I went to meet with the bereavement midwife today. She has booked us for TFMR (L&D) on Friday next week which will make me 18 weeks. I just cant wrap my head around it - almost everyone says you always see it on a scan . Part of me wants to hold off for full results or go for another scan (which they have said they will do but dont see the benefit ) and that the results are very very unlikely to be wrong. But I have heard very unlikely so many times during this pregnancy its blurring my reality. I dont want to keep carrying my son and feeling him move if he is never going to live its torture. But I dont want to jump into this and the results come back normal I would never forgive myself. I dont think ive read any stories where FISH from an amnio was positive and wrong and im probably just being silly to hope.
