Results and Next Steps

If you had enhanced first trimester screening (eFTS) or maternal serum screening (MSS), your results will be reported as screen positive or screen negative.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing Results

If you had non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), your results will be reported as high risk or low risk. Sometimes, NIPT fails to give a result.

It is important to understand that screening tests are not diagnostic and cannot tell you if your baby has or does not have a specific condition with 100% certainty. The only way to know for sure if your baby has one of these conditions is to consider having invasive diagnostic testing (such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis).
