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?
1:285 sounds pretty good still to me.. I would try and relax
Have been refereed to have an amnio in few weeks
Still scary jus hope this is not history repeating its self :(
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
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!
Thank you all so much for the advice and sharing ur experiences, has really helped calm the nerves

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!
Yes relaxing is impossible lol I also hate saying that to people cause I know what it's like...
