Hi,
I have just had my nuchal scan today at 13w+1 (prev earlier scan they couldn't do the measurements)as part of the combined test. Although the scan looked fine and the nuchal measure was fine, at 30years old my age was normal, but my bloods were low and so have brought my risk for downs to 1:46 (anything under 150 is apparently a high risk) so have been booked for a CVS next Tuesday. Am feeling so shocked as really didn't expect to have a high risk for chromosomal disorders. Am aware of the risk of miscarriage (had a MMC at 13 weeks in JUne this year so feeling fairly vulnerable already) but hoping this is the right thing to do...I work as a therapist with children under five and frequently with children with downs syndrome - so feel informed - just very shocked and a little sad. ANyone else out there who has had a similar experience and has positive story about CVS?? WOuld love to hear from you.
