Hi
Had my 12 week scan yesterday and the NF was 7mm - which is huge. We were given a risk factor of 1:3 and got bloods today which put it down to 1:7 for the two other trisomy's and 1:2 for Down's. They were very bleak - the mw said there was little chance of survival in utero anyway with a fold that thick.
I'm 41 and the worst of it is we had a failed IVF in April where we were told I would be unable to conceive with my own eggs as they were so old and knackered and had started the donor process when I had a freak natural pregnancy. So this is really our last chance; we can't just go away and start trying again.
I'm angry this has happened as it's a whole heap of misery for no reason - we were due to be off to have donor ivf next month and god knows when we'll be up to it now.
Worried about the risk of miscarriage being so high with CVS but can't face going beyond 14weeks with the likelihood of having to terminate as it would have to be a full labour then.
Don';t know what I'm asking really, just if anyone out there has been in a smiliar position - good stories and bad please.
