I just had my quad screen on Tuesday and the doctor called me today to tell me that my AFP levels were high and that there is a 1:263 chance that there is some sort of neural tube defect.
I am getting a total runaround. He told me I can either have an amnio or a special ultrasound to look for markers. I am opting for the ultrasound. He told me to call and speak with a genetic counselor to schedule. I called genetic counseling and they told me I need an ultrasound first before I can see them but the doctor insists I consult with them first before getting this ultrasound.
I feel like no one is telling me what is going on and I just want to get this ultrasound done with! Now I am going to have to wait till Tuesday to speak with a genetic counselor that doesnt want to speak with me until after I have an ultrasound so I can go back to the doctor who has to order the ultrasound so that I can finally get a freaking ultrasound and see if there is anything wrong.
I am stressing out and in tears and the doctor is telling me its probably nothing and not to worry. Getting me in for a freaking ultrasound today would help me not worry!
Has anyone else had high AFP levels? How did it turn out?
