Did they put you in a range for your chances of Down Syndrome? Just wondering what the normal range is? I guess it depends on your age too... I am 31 and they just called and told me 1 in 2000.

Re: What range did they put you in??
I dont' know what normal is, but those odds sound good. I'm 29 and mine came back 1 in 10,000.
Twin boys born too early at 17w4d and 18w2d in February 2010
Transabdominal cerclage placed September 2010
DS born at 35w1d in February 2011
Twin girls born at exactly 36w in February 2013
Yes, I had to go in for 2 blood draws for screening for open neural tube defect, Down Syndrome and Trisomy 18.
Sound like she had an NT, Quad or Integrated screening done.
My risk factors from the NT were 1:10,000 for Downs and the several Trisomy's they tested for. I don't know what my Quad Screening range was, but I was told it was "normal" and I'm happy with that.
I am 31 and my results came back 1 in 10,000
1 in 2,000 is still a good range, from what I recall my doctor saying
I have a friend who is 36 and came back as 1 in 10,000 too.... eek! I'm 5 years younger! I'm wondering why mine is only 1 in 2000?
That sounds like a question for your doctor.
And while age is a factor, it is hardly the only thing at play here.
My Dr said that 1:10,000 is the lowest possible risk. I'm 35 and came in at 1:5,000. He also said that they catch 85% of Down's babies in the 1:150 rage.
Age certainly isn't the only factor for Down's.
Try not to get too caught up in the numbers....a 1 in 2,000 number means your odds of having a baby with Downs is 0.05%. Or on the flip side, you have 99.95% chance of not having a baby of downs...HTH!
Mine wasn't clear on what was what it says all different Trisomys. For Trisomy 21 it was 1 in 13803, for Trisomy 18 was 1 in 35296 and Trisomy 13 was 1 in 110272.. As I said it is confusing on what is what.
