I am not feeling very lucky so this may be pessimistic but 2 weeks ago I had my 12 week scan and al seemed ok - Nuchal fold 1.4 and was told everything looked good. Had the blood test but forgot about it as it took longer than the 2 days promsed to come back as high risk for Downs etc. So when I get the call to say I have a 1/70 chance of having a baby with downs I was obviously shaken. I decided not to have CVS as lost a baby last year at just over 11 weeks and we took ten months TTC before falling pregnant with this baby and just didn't want to risk it and so opted for intergrated test. I just had the results back today saying its now a 1/6 chance! I am completely floored by this news and rang ARC to get the results clearer in my head (MW a bit useless on phone!) and they said that if I had an Amnio I now fall in the category of 1/5 turn out to have a baby with Downs or other chromosome disorder. I now feel as if having the Amnio is just a confirmation that the tests were actually correct. Has anyone really had good news after having such a high risk?

If screening test comes back as such high risk is having an Amnio just a confirmation of results.
