Shortly after getting back together with her fiancée, she got pregnant.

She was confident the father was her fiancée, but wanted a DNA test to be positive.

DNA Results Said Fiancée Was Not The Father

After two inconclusive DNA tests, she tried again with DNA Diagnostics Center online, a company that calls itself the “world leaders in DNA testing.”

The DNA results shocked her. The tests told her that there was a 99.99 percent chance the baby's father was her one-time fling.

In an attempt to "salvage her relationship" with her fiancée, she made an "excruciating decision" to get an abortion.

IT Error Leads To Mistake

About four months later, DNA Diagnostics Center called with more shocking news. Officials told her an "IT error" led to incorrect results.

The new results stated that there was a "0.0%" chance that the man she had sex with once was the father.
