Yipee! I passed my AFP test!

I wasn't going to have any of the elective testing done, but my doctor was very convincing. Said that because of my age (geez) that he would highly, highly recommend it. Anyway...the results came back normal today! Whew!

Congrats. When did you have your test done??? I only ask because I had mine done on the 15th (last week). They said they would call if they needed to do more testing, but I keep thinking about it.

I had it done last Friday. The doctor said the results would be back in a week, so don't you know I was on the phone with them this morning when they opened! The nurse said, "We usually go over results at the next appointment." To which I replied, "Um, that just wouldn't work for me. I need them now, before the weekend." I suggest just calling. What can it hurt?

Congrats!!! One less thing to worry about!
My results wewn't back yet as of Monday. My doc wasn't worried the 1st bloodwork and the u/s looked great, he said so, I'll get to talk to him about them next time!!
congrats again!

Congrats that is great news. My OB told me it can take up to 10 business days...with my first DD it was just about a week, this one was the full 10 days, I was nervous. I had to call...

Wendy,
I find it funny that he HIGHLY recommened you have the testing due to your age. From what I can see you are only 33. Why would a doctor say that? 35 is usually the marker when they look for certain things. Strange, but such good news. I am 32 and my doctor was like "I would not worry about anything-you are only 32."

Yes, I was confused by the age issue too. The only thing I can really think of is that I have PCOS and Insulin Resistence. They don't really consider me "high" risk, but "higher than normal" if that makes sense. Either way, I'm excited that it came back normal. Whew!

Congrats!!! I found out last week that mine was negative also. It was such a relief!!!!!!!!!!
