Thank you for your response..though my due date is technically different than what we originally thought, for some reason the doctor's office does not change it in the file..however, it is not enough time to make a signifigance in the AFP test to retake the test.

The lab indicated that I have low reading..I do not understand what this means and what is the cause. As far more specific numbers..this is all the doctor's office provided and said more will be explained during Genetic counseling. If you have any more information, that would be great, regarding the cause of a low level reading...Thank you very much..

>>does not change but I was off by 7 days.
