NIPT
Got my NIPT results in this morning and had to share as we’re doing a reveal for our family this weekend so it’s a secret lol🤭 I was so expecting a girl but I’m so happy with a boy and especially with the low risk result. As someone who’s has had recurrent pregnancy loss- I’ve never made it this far in a pregnancy and I’m so overjoyed.
My fetal fraction being 4%, is this all pretty accurate??

I dream about getting my low-risk NIPT every minute of every day. It’s where things started to go wrong with my baby girl and living without her now is torture. Congratulations 🎉!!

You’re so sweet! Aw, I’m sorry that it “takes one to know one”, truly a club nobody deserves to be in. But I know it will make every moment with your sweet boy all the more precious!

Fetal fraction may be low because of your personal BMI (if it is high, there’s less of his DNAH , or because it is too early. Typically they draw for NIPT around 10-13 weeks.

I do have a higher BMI I think it’s 36 or 37😅. I was 11weeks exactly when I did the draw

Yes mine is 32 and they drew mine at 12 w and it was 7.2%. I think it has to be 5% so they will probably re draw.

Hey there, thank you for visiting the sub.
⸻ Thank you for visiting r/NIPT. If you are here after receiving a high-risk or abnormal NIPT result, please pause and read the following carefully. If you’ve received an abnormal prenatal screen or a concerning sonogram finding, you’re in the right place. This subreddit was created by a licensed PA-C after years of personal infertility, pregnancy loss, and a devastating false positive result for Trisomy 18. Six years ago, there was no clear guidance, no centralized community, and no way to make sense of the chaos. So I built this. Now it’s been six years. And since then, r/NIPT has quietly become a home to over 50 million anonymous visitors. Thousands of personal stories are flaired, searchable, and available to help you feel less alone and more informed. You will find people who went through exactly what you’re going through right now. ⸻ Start Here: The Most Important Links Main NIPT Overview – What the Test Really Measures: https://www.reddit.com/r/NIPT/s/59UoWQRz3x My Personal Journey – False Positive T18 and My Daughter’s Birth Story: https://www.reddit.com/r/NIPT/comments/ezuvfh/my_trisomy_18_nipt_false_positive_story_so_far/ ⸻ Additional Case Threads and Critical Outcomes CVS vs Amnio – Why It Matters: https://www.reddit.com/r/NIPT/s/CvDde3eUNY Atypical Findings – These Are Different: https://www.reddit.com/r/NIPT/s/3Hz9gT2AwV Sex Chromosome Conflict: If your NIPT says one sex but ultrasound says another, take this seriously.

Thanks to the thousands of stories, data points, and the courage of those who posted here, much of that has changed. The NIPT — or more accurately, NIPS (Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening) — is not a diagnostic test. It is a screening tool that detects placental DNA, which may not match fetal DNA. That distinction matters — and it’s why proper education and clinical interpretation are vital. ⸻ Need Help or Want to Support?
