This thread has give me reassurance and comfort when we received our bad Oscar Result.
Want to share our experience here. To give some support to worried PTB who share the same encounter as us.
We have a 3.5 yo gal and looking forward to be parents again to a new baby. We are very happy when I am found pregnant. And after 2 MC, we really cherish this coming baby.
This pregnancy is not a smooth one, starting with bleeding, nasty fall due to exhaustion, high fever, flu etc etc.....so every visit to gynae for us is a exciting but also worrying one cos we are afraid, unhealthy baby growth? No HB???...
We go for Oscar test not knowing what to expect as our first baby only done triple test, Oscar is not available then.
The sonagrapher is a nice lady explaining details while taking measurements. Hubby and me were very happy cos baby have grown so much and is very active and cute during the scan. The sonographer assure us all measurement taken looks healthy and shouln have any problem. But the risk will be calculated with blood test result when available. We left the hospital feeling confident we are going to have a healthy baby and every ct on Oscar well spent cos we get to see baby for very long duration, zooming in and out.

But then come the bad news in the evening. Oscar result out. My blood test risk ratio is 1:7 for T21 which make my combine test result to be 1:24. Oh gosh, our world come crashing down. What are we going to do next????
Our gynae advise us to do amino test, which will give us a almost certain result if my baby is with T21. We have to wait another 3 wks before we can do the test cos baby is too small now.
These 3 wks are torture to us. Deep down I strongly believed our baby will be strong and healthy. But what if...... I really mean what if....
We opt for express result from the amino as we cannot imagine another 3 wks wait for the result. The amino test is not scary nor painful. Its done in a few mins and then its the waiting time.....
The express result was mentioned to be out in 2~3 days time. But for mine, we got it the next day late afternoon. Phew!!!!
We are going to have a HEALTHY BABY GIRL!!!!!!
Though the express result is not detail, but my gynae told me its has high accuracy and for him, it never deviate from the final detail report which will only be ready in 3 wks time.
Today, I got the confirmation from my gynae the detail result is good!!!!!! Confirm... FIRM.
I will like to share my experience here, as I understand how PTB feel when such bad test result strike. Though it's only a screening test, but its really a torture to us till we have the answer.
My risk is 1:24, highest I have read on this thread. But we are thankful, all things are going to be OK now. So don't worry so much (I know its difficult...impossible ;P) But Oscar is really only a screening test.
Hope my sharing here can help you feel better and give you some support during this unpleasant time.
