Had 12 (though was 13+1) week scan on Monday and got an NT of 3.6. They rushed bloods through and yesterday I was told I have a 1:34 chance of Downs. I'm 36.
Hospital trying to get me a quick appointment for a CVS, but thanks to the bank holiday, it's looking as though I will have to wait until I'm 15 weeks for an amnio as I will have to travel to London.
I need to find out fast, as DH and I have decided we would terminate if the test comes back positive. DS1 has ASD and we have had hideous struggles getting him anything. As parents we've had no support, and the though of caring for a severely disabled child for the rest of our lives is too much.
Just wondering if anyone has had similar odds and also what the tests are like? I hear varying reports about it hurting etc.
