The combined screening has come back with a 1 in 182 risk for Downs. As this is defined as low risk obviously the NHS won't offer any further investigation.
Whilst I'm happy to be low risk it's does seem awfully close to the 1 in 150 cut off.
I keep talking myself around in circles about paying for private NIPT. Whilst we do have the money for this it's a big chunk of cash for us. I swing from telling myself 1 in 182 isn't far off my age related odds anyway ( I'm 36) and chances are everything would be fine to thinking knowing my luck I'll be that 1 ( multiple miscarriages in the past and my only DC was prem) and I should just take the test and know one way or the other.
Sonographer said all looked good at the scan so I guess it was the bloods that's affecting things?
I know only we can make decision (Dh leaving it "up to me" which doesn't help) but any thoughts welcome. Thanks for reading my ramblings....
