AFP Test
I am 17 weeks and had the AFP test done last Tuesday. I just got the call (at work no less ) that my neural tube results were positive. I need to have the bloodwork repeated tomorrow, my Level II bumped up ASAP and I might need an amnio.
I guess I am just looking for any words of support. has something like this ever happened to anyone else on here and everything turned out to be fine? I am praying for a false positive. I'm so scared for my little baby and my whole family if there really is something wrong.

Re: AFP Test
The AFP test is the worst of the tests when it comes to false positives. Try not to stress until you have more conclusive testing done.

Re: AFP Test
I had a 1 in 10 chance after the AFP. They wanted me to do an amnio. I decided to just bump up my level 2 instead. My baby girl is 1 year old a perfect in every way

Re: AFP Test
I had a 1:13 chance for Trisomy 18 after my AFP with DD. She is a perfectly healthy 19 month old. My friend just recently had a risk of spina bifida (?) from the AFP. She has a perfectly healthy 10 month old. Like pp's said, the AFP is a horrible test. notorious for false positives. Try not to worry

Re: AFP Test
Thanks everyone for the hugs and stories of false positives. I am supposed to go for repeat blood testing and my level II tomorrow or Tuesday, so hopefully I'll get answers soon.

Re: AFP Test
hate all these tests I really do. Like some of the pp's said there are sooo many false postives. Ive known girls that had results like yours and their children are absolutely FINE!!!
I am praying that everything is going to turn out perfect for you
