Please pray my NIPT result should be a false positive

[Anonymous]

Hello. I should start by saying I am not a practicing Christian. I went to a catholic school and I have always believed in the healing powers of Jesus. I’m going through a very difficult time and I just wanted to share how I’m feeling. I feel like a hypocrite even coming to this forum and making a prayer request but I would be very much obliged if anyone even reads this and has any perspectives to share. Ever since I can remember all I’ve wanted is to be a mother. After a complicated journey of trying to conceive naturally, I went through IVF (tested, high quality embryo) in late 2017. After progressing really well, inexplicably on December 24, 2017 I miscarried. I remember being confused and surprised as I didn’t even know this could happen with a tested embryo. Thanks to god, I naturally conceived in March 2018 but miscarried on May 2018. We decided to keep going and I became pregnant naturally again in July2018 with twins. One was progressing fine, the other was not and the latter miscarried and ended up impacting the former by October 2018. Then by the grace of God, we had a successful IVF transfer in January 2019 with who is now my beautiful 5yrs old daughter. I really want another child, so we went for IVF in April 2023. Inexplicably, another tested, high quality embryo didn’t take. Then we tried again in November 2023. I was pregnant for one glorious week with this tested, high quality embryo until the pregnancy just vanished. I’m 44 now, we have almost dwindled our limited supply of high quality embryos and all forms of testing show nothing that should be preventing me from getting pregnant. By some miracle, I somehow became naturally pregnant again. I’m now 15 weeks and the pregnancy has been feeling and looking beautiful. According to the doctor, the NT scan was perfect and the baby is doing great. They recommended a NIPT (before we did this test he said everything looks so good, I would be shocked if there’s anything to be worried about but just do it as a formality). The NIPT came back with a shocking positive for T21 chromosomal abnormality. I just can’t believe it, no matter what any test says I feel, I just feel everything is okay. We have been asked to do a more invasive test to make sure but the doctor seems sure it will only confirm what the NIPT told us. I am here with a plea for prayer that the NIPT should turn out to be a false positive or that the Lord in His infinite, inscrutable ways place his healing hand and heal my child. Most of all I pray for strength. I just can’t stop crying and I’m so disappointed in myself. I’ve seen enough worst case outcomes with my prior pregnancies that I feel like I should have been mentally prepared for this but I am clearly not. I am exhausted of hearing my doctor tell me that I seem to hit the worst, unlikeliest odds often. I am really hoping for a miracle and to actually hit a good, unlikely odd this time. I am sorry for the lengthy post. Thank you for reading.

We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you've been through and the current situation you're facing. We are here to pray with you and offer some biblical encouragement.

Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room. You mentioned that you are not a practicing Christian, but you still have faith and believe in the healing powers of Jesus.

But what does it mean to believe in Jesus? The Bible tells us in Acts 16:31 (WEB), Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.

So firstly, we would like to encourage you to confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead. You will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9,10 (WEB)

The forgiveness of sins is available to you and is obtained by faith alone in Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection.

Ephesians 2:8,9 (WEB) says For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.

This means that you cannot do anything to earn salvation. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ.

Moving on, we want to encourage you with the promises of God. In the Bible, there are many examples of women who struggled with infertility and difficult pregnancies, but God intervened and blessed them with children.

Consider Sarah, Abraham's wife, who gave birth to Isaac at the age of ninety. Genesis 21:1,2 (WEB) And Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Or think of Hannah, who was barren and prayed fervently for a child. God heard her prayers and gave her Samuel. 1 Samuel 1:11 (WEB) She vowed a vow, and said, Yahweh of Armies, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your maid-servant, and remember me, and not forget your maid-servant, but will give to your maid-servant a man child, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.

God is the giver of life and the healer of our bodies. Psalm 103:2,3 (WEB) Bless Yahweh, my soul, Don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.

Let's pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up this dear woman who is going through a difficult time. We ask, Father, that you would have mercy on her and heal her child. We pray that the NIPT results would be a false positive, and that the child would be healthy and whole. We ask for your strength and comfort for her, as she goes through this trial. Help her to cast all her anxieties on you, because you care for her. 1 Peter 5:7 (WEB)

Father, we also pray for her salvation. We ask that you would draw her to yourself, and that she would come to know you personally through faith in Jesus Christ. We pray that she would confess Jesus as Lord and believe in her heart that you have raised Him from the dead.

We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Please let us know how you are doing, as we would like to continue praying for you.
