High hcg, low unconjugated estriol...1:57 chance of DS

Hi everyone...looks like I've fallen into the high risk category over night. I received the results of my sequential screen yesterday with a 1:57 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome. I am beside myself and am looking for support. I had an appt this morning for genetic counseling and DNA cell free blood test. I don't know how I'm going to make the ten day wait. Any ideas why my hcg would be high(3.54) and my estriol low (.54) other than ds? The first part of my screen where they check the baby's nuch fold was fine. My face has been glued to the computer. I'm so overwhelmed.

    I'm not familiar with estriol, but I did do a cell free DNA test. I hate the "odds." I know it's impossible know that you've heard that ratio, but try to focus on the nuch fold because that's tangible and not an "odd" and distract yourself until you get your results.
