High Risk NIPT / Awaiting CVS result - 13+3

Partner and I did IVF. Fresh transfer with early blast day 5 which to our delight implanted and we got a positive. 12 week scan showed soft markers for Downs Syndrome which were no nasal bone, tricuspid regurgitation) my NT was 2.5, bloods within normal range. I’m 35. I came out as intermediate risk for DS 1:250. I was then offered a NIPT (Harmon) test which was completed there and then. I received a call 8 days later to say it has returned a high risk result for T21 which is DS. I was asked to come in the following day for a further scan and possible CVS if I consented. My scan at 13+2 showed no nasal bone and a reserve a-wave ductus venosus. No further mention of the tricuspid regurgitation. However, still soft markers were present so I agreed to the CVS. Awful experience but that’s another story. I was told to expect the result early next week. Not feeling hopeful. I’m shattered emotionally and just feel confused, hurt and guilty. I cannot find any stories where there have been soft markers, high risk NIPT result and it’s been a happy ending. This is the end of the road. Please share your stories no matter the outcome 😊

Thanks @HopefulllHolly i feel like I have the worst luck in the galaxy at this point!

Hospital called and confirmed T21. It’s the news I was expecting!

Hugs and praying for you. Im so sorry that must be devasting news. My friend had a DS baby and honestly she is a real blessing always happy. Im sure not everyones experience is positive but her experience has changed my opinion. Hugs and no matter what you decide your little one is a blessing and special. Hugs.
