Anyone else awaiting NIPT test results?

Hi everyone, just wanted to see if anyone was biting their nails like I am, waiting for NIPT test results? I am 17 weeks pregnant baby #2 and got screened positive for DS (1:78) after 12 week NT scan and bloodworks. Nuchal measurement was within normal range, but hormones were off with elevated beta-hcg and slightly low papp-a. Also, I am 37, which I imagine must have contributed to increasing the risk factor. Had the IONA test done last Thursday and now waiting anxiously for that phone call! Just wanted to give a shout out to anyone else in my position! :-)

Hi Cheekymonkey, the wait is horrible, isn't it? Have you heard anything yet? I got my call this morning with a 1:1,000,000,000 for all three trisomies. Phew! To say I'm relieved is an understatement. I hope all goes well for you and your bubba. Let me know if you get the chance. Keeping everything crossed for you!
