Can I ask what was your down's risk ratio?

[babynelly2010]

Does anyone know what is the lowest risk ration one can get?

For my age (35) the average risk was put at 1:311, and the adjusted risk (i.e after the blood test and nuchal fold scan) was 1:6219. These results are from a few weeks ago.

Hope that helps you.

mine was 1-250 and i was 38

mine were higher than those above - something like 1: 89 at aged 33 and 1: 62 at 36.

Had cvs for both (both are nt
0

I was 28 when pregnant with DS2, and I had an outcome of 1:86 chance of him having Downs from the Nuchal Fold test.

We decided that as we already had 1 disabled child, that we were not going to risk having an amnio test.

DS2 was fine.

lostinwales- we're finally off for genetic/metabolic etc testing so might slowly get some answers. Although it's probably more likely that we won't tbh! The tests we really need to do are too invasive to put ds1 through without any resulting treatment plan (they would be for info in the main) so they're on hold for the moment.

saintly are you having micro array done? Want my two's done but suspect paed would be reluctant although he has recommended genetic counselling if my older ones plan children.

Should add that mine have normal chromosomes and were negative for metabolic disorders.

At 29 with ds1, I think it was 1:150,000, and at 32 with ds2, it was 1:150

Mine was 1:150 when I was 28 - completely freaked out and had an amnio - DS was NT

1:1500 with DD but she has SN after traumatic birth so just goes to show I couldn't 'control' things after all!

For my age (30) it said 1:890 (round about that) but then for me it said 1:100,000 so very relieved.

I've just had mine for DC1 and it was 1:11800. I'm 35

I was 38 and mine was 1 in about 4500

I think mine was 1 in 270 with Dd, but might have remebered that incorrectly. I was 42. Dd perfectly healthy.

Just had mine for DC 2 I'm 33 1 in 50000 with an NT measurement of 1.3

They only worry if it's less than 1:250.

Mine was 1:7,500 -- I was 35 at the time.

1/27 @ 33 and 1/530 @ 35

Mine was 1 in 45 and I was 35. I had an amnio. Dd didn't have downs.

I got 1 in 2643 putting me at a lower risk than the average 18 yr old mom and I'm 31 x

I got 1 in 25,000 at about 23 but DD3 did have a major chromosome problem (not downs, much rarer). Then I got 1 in 75 with DD4 (late 20s) and she did not have downs but we lost her to premature birth (didn't have amnio). So I am not sure it really means much...

asdx2- we finally had a referral to a neurologist who has sorted out genetics etc. They;re storing DNA so I can ask for anything. I have requested FOXP2, Shank and Hox, the neurologist had his own ideas (PTEN) which have also been suggested. We all agreed that mitochondrial is a possibility as well but none of us want to muscle biopsy given how hard ds1 is to treat.

My hunch (given family history) would be towards immune disorders plus trigger.

Neuros much better than paeds ime. Although the last 2 paeds I have seen have been brilliant, so maybe things are changing!

I'm 31, my risk based on age alone was 1:577. Scan measurements including a nuchal fold of 2.5 decreased the risk to 1:3477. Add in the bloods, which included out-of-range high hcg, and my final risk is 1:1619. This was a few weeks ago at King's.

Although the risk of downs is low, the nuchal fold & hcg together could indicate other problems so we are having another scan in 10 days time.

I am 36 and my risk was assessed at 1: 67,000

i was 17 when i got pregnant and i think i was 17 when i had the downs test done, and mine came back at 1 in 560 or summat. so quite bad for my age really

I was one in 7,000, am 29.

I was told that if i dont want the amnio then theres no point in me having the blood test, im 35, i wouldve liked to have known what the odds were, but as i told the midwife the result wouldnt affect the outcome of my pregnancy she said theres no point in me having the test, which i think is a bit shit
