Just a quick question - I have just been given a flyer about a local Bupa hopsital offering this combined screening test and it looks really interesting. The problem is that I think it will be costly (around £100) and we are not exactly rolling in it at the moment and the other issue is that the test needs to be done before start of week 14 - for me that means before next Saturday. Not a lot of time to consider it and possibly go ahead with it.
The leaflet obviously goes on about how much of a good idea it is - if anyone out there has had this test, did you find it useful? Did it add or reduce your stress levels ? The fact that it is only about 90% accurate still leaves room for concern even if the test comes up negative, does this make it pointless if the exercise is to inform and reduce concerns? If you have any thoughts please help as I could do with some opinions to consider.
(I have done a few searches on the internet but all are either high brow medical journal comments or by private hospitals selling the treatment and going on about how great it is.)
Thanks in advance.
