FINALLY....AFP Results

I have been in a panic...of course haven't been talking about it, haven't even mentioned it to my DH, but I was counting the days, my OB should have gotten back to me early last week about my AFP, but I hadn't heard from her, I couldn't take it anymore, so I finally called today and left a message. Her RN called me back, normal, everything looks great she said. PHEW. But seriously...could they not have called me last week? Or course I could have called as well, but in my head I was worried they weren't calling me because it was super bad news and they wanted to tell me in person on Tuesday when I go in for my 20W U/S.

To all of you that have taken the test and are waiting for results, I wish you nothing but the best!!!

Congrats!! I also got good news on that test this week!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I'm excited that you got good news.

I on the other hand didn't My test results came back 1/250 and my doc says that my range should be 1/850. So I have a dr's appointment next week wednesday for an ultrasound and I guess we'll take it from there. I'm trying not to stress out about it but I am a little bummed. This is our first and I was so scared that something could go wrong and then I get THE CALL. If you could just please keep my LO in your prayers. I'm trying not to cry as I type this but its hard not being able to do anything but just wait....

Rochelle, I hope things turn out better than the odds are saying. 1/250 is still not very high (less than half a percent) and that means 249/250 that nothing's wrong! Try to stay optimistic, and know that we're thinking of you. Please keep us posted, and try to do something nice for yourself to help relax.

Lisa is absolutely right. The odds are definitely still in your favor. Stay optimistic! I know it's hard not to be freaked out. I had a call a few weeks ago telling me I had HPV and I completely freaked out.

If this is of any relief at all, the AFP was the only test we got BECAUSE there are things that can be done in utero to correct potential problems Odds are in your favor anyways but either way the baby should be fine I'll keep you in my thoughts and please let us know how the ultrasound goes next week!

They usually would only call if something came back negative, that's what my doctor does.
Congrats

Thanks Lisa & Jeni -- I am trying to stay positive, but its still a little scary. On the brighter side and what I'm trying to stay focused on is that I get an ultrasound a week early! My original appointment was for the 24th but now I go on the 15th...so hopefully I'll find out what I'm having!! So hopefully all goes well.
