Am currently 13 weeks pg and g
have just received the results of my private blood screening which has come back as 'High risk' for trisomy 21, (a 1 in 28 probability).
I am very, very worried. This pregnancy comes after a number of miscarriages, and I suppose I thought after so much heartbreak that this would be my 'happy ever after'.
With this result my next move is amniocentesis - with its 1% chance of miscarriage, but I can't have this until week 25, so 2 more weeks of mental torture. I would choose amnio over CVS because the tissue of the placenta (which is tested in CVS) can at times be different to the foetus, and as amnio tests the fluid around the baby it is 100% correct information. This is what I need because of the difficult decisions that would be made on the basis of those results.
I am hoping against hope that someone out there can tell me that despite high odds that their amniocentesis showed a negative result, despite their harmony/nifty - private dna blood screening, showing a high probability. (Not the NHS tests which are more usually inaccurate being based upon scan measurements and horemones blood count.)
I seem to have signed this long awaited and, up until now, easy pregnancy off already, and what I need right now is hope!
