Nuchal translucency of 3.8mm before 11 weeks

Hi there all,
I just wondered if anyone has any similar experience.
This is my third pregnancy and I have 2 healthy children aged 4 and nearly 3. I'm 42.
I opted for the Harmony Test privately due to my age and yesterday went for the test and quick scan beforehand.
The consultant confirmed me as 10+4 days and CRL 37.5mm so technically too early for nuchal translucency measurements but nevertheless she was very concerned by the baby's measurement of 3.8 mm. She said this gave me an over 50% risk of Downs though I have to wait for the Harmony results on Monday.
I'm prepared for the worst but driving myself a bit bonkers. I've read a lot of threads of women who have had similar readings later and within the normal 12 week scan period, where all has turned out fine, but I can't find any threads with such an early scan.
Any of your thoughts and experience would be very welcome!
Thank you.
