Hi, I am not out of the woods yet. After talking to a few people I decided to go for Harmony test. The results takes two weeks so it is going to be a long wait. I made the decision on my own as my hubby does not give any constructive suggestions. The 20 week scan does not include blood test but there will be indications. My colleague failed her oscar twice. The first round she chose to wait till 20 week scan. Sonographer was aware of her high risk so took extra care to look out for the signs. He pointed out to her those signs which indicate her kid is low risk so I believe 20 week scan can tell. Second round she went for amnio cos she has the first kid to consider.Yes, Dr advise either Amino or Harmony. And I was thinking as Harmony uses blood test as well and I failed my blood test during Oscar so Im not confident of the end result as its related to blood test. As for Amino, I'm really afraid as much as I wanted a 100% assurance. Sigh.
sl, maybe i know what steps did you take thereafter the Oscar result? And I guess all is fine now? Did you take Harmony as that's based on blood test too so am still struggling over it. Usually what can be spotted during 20 week? As I asked my gynae, he said if I choose to just ignore the Oscar, I won't be able to detect anything during 20 week scan. Does 20 week scan included blood test as well? Thanks sl, I'm really very affected and just can't stop thinking and concentrate at work.
Thanks Piggling. Yeah, it seems to be such a tough decision and now I think back, I should have gone straight to Harmony instead. When will you be getting back yours? Don't worry, Im sure all will be good!
I also spoke to a colleague whose gal is autistic. But i spoke to him more cos i wanted his perspective for the tough questions. His answers gives me hope. Their family is stronger than before. Their elder gal has values that children of her age will not have cos she takes care of her sis.
Take a rest today and see if there is anyone you would like to discuss this with. It is not an easy thing to choose what course of action to take.
