with a scan of 1.7 that is great anything less then 3.0 some say 2.5 but the official is now 3.0 is normal and great... your odds are high but I have found that the blood work isnt' accurate they are finding more false positives then not.. I had odd of 1:3 and my doctor is telling me that it's totally about my age and nothing else.. she goes by the ultrasound weather she suggest amnio to the mother or not... hope it was some help
