    Completely understand your decision. The test is pretty unpleasant and the risks of a false positive (and negative affects on your birth choices) are there. There are also benefits of having the test, and all you can do is weigh up the risks and benefits that mean the most to you.

    Thanks LC, that's a lot more in-depth than my understanding was.
