Direct DNA fetal testing (PCR?)

Hi,
I am new to this site. I am four months pregnant. My boyfriend and I found out three weeks ago that we are both carriers for CF. I knew nothing about CF until we learned we were both carriers. Since then, I am constantly researching the internet. We are waiting the results for our amniocentesis, but recently got results from a new form of testing: it is direct DNA fetal testing maybe also known as PCR. Our results were positive that our baby is affected with CF. I was wondering if anyone has had this test and had false positives or negatives. I search and search and cannot find much about it on the net....
thank you and god bless...

I have never heard of this test, but my son is 6 years old and he didn't get diagnosed til he was 2 months old. Then the following year they started the screening for mothers etc... Anyway, Let us know what happens and you are in our prayers.
