I am booked in for a CVS on Monday. I was only told on Thursday that I had a 1/30 chance of a Downs baby.
My NT was clear and sonographer said the scans didn't show anything abnormal and fold was 1.6mm.
I am now in 2 minds as to the CVS. I called up FMC yesterday hoping to get a 2nd opinion by having a private more detailed scan but their earliest appt isn't until wednesday. I live 10 minutes from Babybond so I could ask them if they have any appts for today.
I think I am more worried about m/c with the CVS. I won't know who the consultant will be at QCCH until monday as they are 'fitting me in' so I can't even check their stats. My PAPP-A and bHCG results were given to me as 379 u/l and 69.39 u/l respectively, so I don't even know what that is as MoM or what normal levels should be. All I can sort of deduce from googling is that my bHCG levels are extremely low.
I'm 33 so not in the older category, along with a clear NT I am guessing my bloods are so low they have increased my chances of a trisomy child. I have had such a fuzzy head for the past 2 days :( I'm worried CVS will cause M/C or results come back with Edwards or Patau. I already have a wonderful non-tri son and appreciate this fully, but at the same time I don't want to lose DC2.
Has anyone had anxiety about CVS or gotten a last minute NT scan?
