Go ahead with Combined test after NIPT?

Hi all.

I am considering having a private NIPT test. If so, I'd rather not have the combined test as I think the results would scare me if high risk, despite knowing the NIPT is more accurate (should that come back low risk).

My question is - NIPT and Combined test measure different things - Would I be missing something by not having the combined test? For example, could it flag up another issue related to my baby/pregnancy by looking at an area of my blood that the NIPT doesn't?

Thanks in advance.

I had both. They check your hormone levels and NT. Neither is done with the NIPT.
