An anonymous New York woman is suing a lab and DNA testing business after receiving false paternity test results, which she claims led her to have an abortion that she now regrets.<\/p>\n

The New York Post reported<\/a> that the woman became pregnant during a temporary break-up with her fianc\u00e9, which lasted for three weeks. The two had been struggling to get pregnant and the woman said the stress of their infertility led to the split.<\/p>\n

During that time, she slept with someone else, and after she and her fianc\u00e9 reunited, she found out she was pregnant. Initially, she thought her fianc\u00e9 had to be the father. \u201cI was tracking my ovulation,\u201d she said. But she wanted to be sure – and so she requested a paternity test from Winn Health Labs in the Bronx and Ohio-based DNA Diagnostics Center.<\/p>\n

She spent $1,000 for the first two tests at the DNA Diagnostics Center, the results of which were inconclusive. So she then turned to Winn Health Labs. Still confident that her fianc\u00e9 was the father, she threw a gender reveal party, during which she found out her baby was a girl. Afterward, the lab results came in and revealed that her fianc\u00e9 was not<\/em> the baby’s father.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just cried,\u201d she said. \u201cHe asked, \u2018Why would you go through a gender reveal?\u2019 I told him, \u2018Because I was positive it was yours.’\u201d<\/p>\n
