Usually it's reported a decreased fetal fraction and they just need a new sample. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/abnormal-fetal-fraction#post-2500040 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 17:08:03 +0000 LAZB 2500040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: it does, doesn't it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/abnormal-fetal-fraction#post-2499579 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 12:11:49 +0000 MrsSCB 2499579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad she was able to talk to the nurse to get an explanation! "Abnormal fetal fraction" sounds much scarier than what the nurse described. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/abnormal-fetal-fraction#post-2499495 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 11:14:49 +0000 LAZB 2499495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just talked to the nurse, and apparently it means they didn't have enough fetal dna to run the test, so they didn't do anything yet. They will run it again on Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/abnormal-fetal-fraction#post-2499433 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:47:29 +0000 LAZB 2499433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend had testing done (I'm not sure which test) on fetal DNA, and has her appointment to discuss on Monday. She got the results today though, which say abnormal fetal fraction. Does anyone know what that means? The doctor is out of town and she can't find much information. </p>
