I'm 35 and 12 weeks pregnant with a much wanted IVF baby, we also have a healthy son of six.
My 12 wk scan has come back with a risk of 1 in 29 for Downs. They didn't test for any other trisomies. I considered the CVS but can't bear the mc risk and I can't wait til 15 wks for an amnio so I'm booked for a NIFTY test on Wednesday. I'll be paying for the express service but I think that still takes a couple of weeks to come back. I am hoping they will also scan me on the day and give me more of an idea based on that but don't know if they do this? I know they can look for soft factors like the nasal bone and length of the limbs.
We have decided we would definitely terminate if it came back positive for our own personal reasons. Sorry if anyone finds that offensive but I think it's purely the woman's choice.

Do you get a detailed scan as part of the NIFTY test?
