I was positive even though my genetic counselor told me there was only a 15% chance I would be. I did it for my children - which is the best reason I know of. The test was mostly covered by my insurance but my daughter has had to fight to get hers to cover it. No sucess yet...
I would be happy to answer any questions about my experience.
