I had a positive quad screen. I am 36, just wondering if it was drawn to early. I was 14.2 weeks when the labs were drawn.

    The quad screen has a very high false positive rate, so I wouldn't worry about whether timing affected the results. What type of follow-up testing will you be doing? I actually skipped the quad screen and only did MaterniT21 (my insurance didn't cover either one, so I figured the more-accurate test was a better investment).

    I hope your case turns out to be a false positive!

    I think I had the quad screen later, around 16 or 17 weeks. Hopefully it's a false positive or it was drawn too early!

    They frequently have false positives. It's time to explore your follow up options.
