Harmony test ?!

I'm in two minds about whether to have the harmony test...
I've come back as a lower risk for NHS (1 in 2152 for downs and 1 in 10,0000 for Edwards and Pataus) but the downs risk seems high to me still?
On the one hand I'd rather save the money for the baby- but on the other hand I'd rather know - just so I'm prepared .... what's everyone else thinking with their results?

I’m waiting for my results to come back still for my risk ratios. But if I got that result I might pay for a harmony test but that’s only because I suffer from major anxiety and would worry about it the whole time...it depends how your anxiety is really and if you feel you would still continue the pregnancy either way or not. And if you can afford it of course. But that’s still a very low risk so doesn’t look like you need to be worrying! Good luck x

I had the exact same results 1 in 2152 for downs and 1 In 10,000 for Edward's and patau but I haven't had the harmony. I thought that's a decent enough result and even if you had the harmony test you always have the risk of still being that 1!
My friend had a 1 in 66 for downs and had the harmony but even her son didn't have it.
I've also read someone on here have a 1 in 2500 for downs and her baby was that 1 and was born with downs.
But it's entirely up to you and if you can warrant the cost :)
