Well, statistically, you are still looking good! at 1:285, that means you have a 0.4% chance of your baby having downs.
Were there any soft makers seen at the NT scan? Are they recommending a 4D scan or an amnio? What about the other new prenatal blood tests like MaterniT21?Mom to
and my IVF/PGD
It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

Please try not to worry. I have been there! I had a 1:5 risk of downs from the combined screening. Had the amino and I am now sitting feeding my beautiful, healthy baby girl. Goodluck
brand new. Successful girl sway. Thankyou so very much Atomic for all your wonderful advice.

I've done pgd and my embryo was tested clear before transfer. Yet,
I got 1:330 chance of Downs. I refused to do any further testing because amnio or cvs can cause miscarriage in 1:100 cases. I would have done the new blood test if I knew it was available in Sydney then. I have had a couple of scans since then and they all looked reassuring. If your anomaly scan comes back good, with no major abnormalities, you can add another 200 to your odds (1:400 is a low risk!) Try not to worry!and finally my ht !!!

I have seen so many false positives that turn out to be perfectly healthy babies and my moms cousin had a baby a few months ago and had a perfect NT scan and had a little boy with downs...if it wasn't for wanting to see my baby I would bypass the NT

Would love to say "don't worry" like PPs but I know from experience that I don't worry any less when someone says that...ever! Just wanted to say I got exactly the same odds as you (1:285 - mostly because of my age though) and my son is 100% perfect!
