Hey! Looking for a nurse that can help me understand these results. My doctor and the test picture below shows girl, but the performance notes say “Y chromosome fetal sex - 99.4% accuracy”. What does that mean?

Hi! I’m not a nurse but I read somewhere else that the 99% accuracy for Y chromosomes means that the test its 99.4% accurate at detecting a Y chromosome if that chromosome was present in your blood. Again, not a nurse but hope that helps! Like option Love option Hug option Funny option Sad option Wow optionLikeViolation ReportedReport as Inappropriateuser avatarGabby2016

Are you talking about the first picture? If so that is the test sensitivities. Those are a scale and not your test results. Your test results are the second picture Like option Love option Hug option Funny option Sad option Wow optionLikeViolation ReportedReport as Inappropriatellizaafaz@Gabby2016,

thank you!!! Yes I was talking about the first picture. I saw my results first which said female and then scrolled further and saw the test sensitivities show Y chromosome so got confused. Thanks for helping to clarify! Like option Love option Hug option Funny option Sad option Wow optionLikeViolation ReportedReport as Inappropriatebbwhuggebear83

Yep, you’re having a girl. The first shot is just the test sensitivity—basically, it’s 99.4% accurate at picking up Y chromosomes, if they’re there. The “Fetal Sex: consistent with female” is what you want to look at.

I actually ended up calling the genetic counselor and she called the company because she said it should’ve been in by now. Apparently the company messed up one of the batches of tests somehow and they had to redo it. They should have it finalized tomorrow.

my chart says this. If they’re not in my chart, then the doctor doesn’t have them either. I think it’s just the company. It’s so frustrating though! I’m checking hourly.

The maternal fetal medicine office said they would call me as soon as I get the results, and they don’t release it online until a day or 2 later. Fingers crossed it’s Monday for both of us!

I used this company with labcorp too on 11/13. They told me 7-10 days including weekends. I’m pretty sure they don’t release any info on the weekends, so I’m hoping on Monday!

did you have an ultrasound to confirm your test results were correct? I just got my results and have found another post where several people said they got wrong results. I assumed I was having a girl again and my results say “consistent with female” but man I was seriously hoping for a boy this time around 😭 Like option Love option Hug option Funny option Sad option Wow optionLike
