Hello everyone I'm reaching out in the hopes that someone has a similar story.
I'm 40 yo and this is my third pregnancy after two miscarriages.
Everything was going wonderfully...scans were good no problems. I did then (what I thought would be) a routine Safe Test- they took a blood test to check for Down’s and two other chromosomal issues (Edwards and Patau). My results came back showing that the likelihood of Down’s was over 95%. I'm reeling, never in a million years did I expect this. Yesterday I underwent the CVS test and the consultant has advised me that my odds of NOT having a DS diagnosis is 1 in 20. From everything I've read online nowhere have I seen anyone who has been given such a high probability of the DS diagnosis. I'm beyond upset...trying to be positive but it seems like the numbers are weighted against us.
Has anyone had a similar story to mine?
Thank you all.
