To pay what to us is quite a lot of money, for private screening (harmony/serenity) when my quad screening was not even considered 'high risk' by the NHS?

[tiptopteepe]

My quad test result (pg too far along to measure nuchal fold) was 1:300.

The NHS is saying that that is a 'low risk' result however compared to my last pregnancy that seems very high. Its the same test I had with my last child and the result was 1:100,000

Has anyone had further testing for a risk of around 1:300 and was it worth it?
Its going to cost me nearly £400 pounds to have private testing and we dont really have a lot of money spare, altho we could just about scrape that together.

So I just wondered what peoples views were? Do you think i would be silly to spend that much money when the risk is classed as 'low'?

A bit late to the conversation but wanted to add my two penn'orth, really just by way of reassurance.

My first DS was 1:30,000 risk, my second was 1:14 so shockingly different and it was very worrying. However, if you look at my 1:14 risk as a percentage then I actually had a 92% chance of there being no abnormality, and those odds sounds much more encouraging. So 1:300 works out at 99% all is well.

I did have a CVS at the FMC in London and all was well :-) DS 2 is now a boisterous 2 year old.

Wishing you the best of luck x
