I had my first tri test results on Friday (NT scan plus bloodwork) and everything went great! They changed my odds on Downs from 1 in 86 (starting point for 41 years old) to 1 in 360 and Tri 18 odds went to 1 in 9,600. I am of course super relieved. I also had blood drawn for the Maternity 21 test to get further verification and find out the sex. I'm now thinking that if the numbers continue to look positive, is there any reason to go ahead with a CVS? My doctor has suggested it to me and I actually had to sign a temporary waiver at my Friday appt saying I was opting not to have the CVS right then. I feel like at this point the odds of Down's are equal to or less likely than the odds of a CVS causing a problem. But then again because of my age I feel like I am being encouraged to still consider a CVS. I know the window for a CVS is not that long, so just looking for any advice, or thought from any of you who may be or have been in the same boat? I have nothing in my genetic history or my husband's to worry about and have had no other issues or problems. Thanks!!
Re: CVS or no CVS?
On another note, did anyone else get a DVD of their NT scan? I got a DVD after which I wasn't expecting. Probably boring for anyone but my parents to watch, but neat to have!
