33 yrs old and bad NT/blood work...

[samimae]

I'm 33 years old with a healthy 2 1/2 old at home. Went for 12 wk NT test and it was 3.0mm...just got blood work results and they were not good....1/57 risk of DS and 1/37 of Trisomy 18/21...I'm trying to stay positive - it is still less than 5% chance but i am also terrified. Can't have amnio for another 2 weeks! Anyone else hear stories like this?

No i think when results are posituve they are. Havent heard/known otherwise.

I have also heard of a lot of false positives with this type of testing.  

A lot of false positives & still less than 5% ????  I think that is a pretty good chance of things being fine.  Try not to worry.  

There is a leader in the pregnancy june 2011 catagory that know a lot on this topic.  Look through, find her & message her.

There are a lot of false positives happening.... hence the reason why i chose not to get any testing done.... Bc usually it ends up being a false positive.
