Have spent past week worrying myself sick over combined test result - 1 in 202, cut off is 1 in 250. Nuchal fold was good but blood test showed hcg hormone too high - haven't been given numbers but risk was 1 in 38, age risk was 1 in 162.
I'm 38 and have healthy 21 month old dd. We declined all screening on that pregnancy and wish we'd done the same this time - have been offered CVS but risk of miscarriage at 1 in 50 higher than abnormalities. Terrified of needle in belly and damaging baby but don't know what would do if baby had abnormalities...
Can hcg be high due to my age? Can't seem to find info. Have appointment tomorrow for another scan and they'll do CVS if we decide to go ahead but still don't know what to do. Can anyone help/advice? Much appreciated.
