Re: triple screen results please pray Thanks

[Guest guest]

I am ssooo sorry you got that kind of result but REMEMBER, These tests have

SOOO MANY FALSE POSITIVES. That is why i refused it and still do. I did not

want to worry for nothing. I know you must be a wreck. I will keep you in my

positive thoughts and prayers that all is well.

God Bless,

These tests are not worth taking! The only test that can really give you these

results accurately are both the Amnio and the higher level ultrasounds. I think

even the AFP might, but that triple screen is a HUGE false positive test! I have

refused it with all FOUR of my pregnacies because of this. And my doctor agreed.

She said if we have no reason to even suspect we are high risk....then don't

take it because it gives many people huge unneeded worry with false positives!

I wouldn't read into these results! Everything should be ok. I hope they have

scheduled you for the level II ultrasound ASAP. I know with positives most

doctors get you in within a week to do the ultrasounds.

Prayers coming your way!

triple screen results please pray Thanks

Just letting you know that I got my results from my triple screen,

and it tested positive for Down syndrome. It means that I am in the

high risk for having a baby with Down Syndrome, not that the baby has

it for sure. (I am sure most of you know about this test) Please

continue to pray for me and baby, and please keep this new test

result in mind. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Robin....

Sorry, but I can't help but reply, as a physician. We " STUPID

DOCTORS " do many of the tests we do because patients/the public

demand that we test for everything we possibly can. (Either that,

or WE get sued for not offering all of the technology currently

available to the patient.) All physicians should, of course,

explain to pregnant patients that the triple screen is simply that--

a screening tool. After that, it is up to the patient whether she

wishes to be screened for the abnormalities this test can detect.

Rather than get infuriated with medical professionals, why not get

infuriated with the highly litiginous society we live in?
