High just wanted to hear from anyone who's had this
I'm 39 nearly 40 and have just had the phone call off my midwife this week to say my combined tests had came back as 1 in 3 for down syndrome and 1 in 38 edwards
I can't sleep I keep crying and googling everything
I know age is higher risk but I'm so confused with results as my paper said age chance 1/119 which to me would put everyone my age higher risk yet I know quite a few people who had children older than me over the last few years and didint come back high risk so I don't get it if it says age alone 119
My papp a was low 0.28
But hcg was also a little low 0.78
Nt measured 2.7mm which I was told was normal range and nothing else picked up on my 12 week scan .
I opted for the cvs as I didint want another high or low risk for nipt test although I know they say its more accurate
But I went for cvs Thursday and they couldn't do it due to where my placenta was he said the risk of miscarriage would be too high I was so upset cos I feel like I'm in limbo
They have rebooked me to try again this Thurs but I went for the nipt yesterday aswell incase they can't do the cvs when I go again Thursday which he said could happen
I am utterly heartbroken over this because my screening midwife said with my odds it usually turns out baby is affected and when I went for cvs she seemed to say same that they have the odd miracle but usually baby is affected
I have decided I won't continue a pregnancy if baby is affected which makes things even harder but I have a cousin with severe downs and I know you can't predict how affected they are but I know how hard things have been for him and his mum.
But the thought of a termination absolute breaks me
