Pregnant at 42

Post by clc »

Thanks to Dr. Huang and your amazing staff for helping me monitor my ovulation and conceive again quickly (within 4 months). After 2 chromosomal miscarriages in the past 12 months, we're now 11 weeks along and just received negative results on the cell free DNA testing. Does that mean I can relax now, or should I still be worried that about during our upcoming visit to the genetics counselor at week 13? I know these tests didn't exists when I had my daughter at 39, so I'm not sure if I can finally relax and enjoy this new pregnancy (it's another girl!). Thanks again for all of your help!

Wonderful news.

Those early fetal DNA tests are very accurate so the chance of finding something in the follow-up testing is very low.

But you can't really relax until the kid graduates from college and has a job. :lol:
