Generally correct? I know occasionally there can be blips and false positives ... But generally is a high result a positive? I have a 1:27 chance of dc having downs. I have read conflicting info, but some say that getting such a high result generally suggests ds is inevitable - as the screenings are not 100% and a very high result should be taken as a highly likely.
I know this may sound confusing sorry, I am no expert on all this- I have been researching lots and as there are no answers as to why some Get such high results if baby doesn't have downs. So I am starting to believe it means in most cases a very high result such as mine is a 'more than likely' ...
For me it was my bloods giving me this high positive. The nt was 2.10- normal. I am mid twenties.
A result of 1:150 or less is considered high risk by the way. I think if I had a 1:100 it would be different - but our screening was relatively very high ...
Aibu to believe that thiS 1:27 Is not a diagnostic, but a pretty cert dc will have downs....? Any feedback would be appreciated.
