Love that Bump Power! (Good test results today)

in TTC after 35
I had my NT scan today to check for Down Syndrome.  The NT scan measures your relative risk.  So, the risk for a normal 38 year old is 1 in 132 (as in one out of 132 babies will be born with Down), but my risk came back 1 in 1,399 - essentially the same risk as a 20 year old!!  The test results are really good and I feel really happy, but thanks to the years of IF, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.  For now, I'm just focusing on being happy.  We're telling our parents tonight.  Maybe that will make it seem more real?

    Hooray!  You've been through enough, maybe all the shoes have dropped and now only good things are coming!  Great news!

    Congrats on the great results.  Getting past the NT results is huge. 

    As for waiting for the other shoe to drop- my son is 2 1/2 and I'm still waiting- it never ends!  We'll worry about potential problems forever!

    I agree 100% now the worry will be with you always (God willing!)  Congrats on great results.  It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders when I got my results too!!!

    Yay for good news!  I think the IF that you have been dealing with is your other shoe having already dropped. You've dealt with enough and deserve to have H&H 9 and a healthy, perfect baby. Big Smile
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    That is wonderful news!  I know how you feel about waiting for that shoe to drop. :)  I was so nervous throughout my pg and refused to say out loud that I'd look back on my perfect pg and think, 'What was I worried about?'.  Here's to your final statement being, "What was I worried about?" Beer
