Nuchal Blood Test Result - Confused, scared and feeling alone.

[reneenay]

I never thought too much about the nuchal scan & blood tests, to me it was just a chance to see our little bub on the ultrasound. The ultrasound went fine, nasal bone, fingers, spine... Everything showed up well and fine, including the neck measurements. But my whole world came crashing down when at the drs appointment for my blood results as I was put into a "high risk pregnancy" category due to my blood results 1:140. My Dr told me not to stress?!?! Impossible. If the results came back low doesn't that indicate a problem regardless?

A week on and I'm still stunned. I don't understand how this could have happened... I'm 27, no health problems nor are there on either side of the family. I took folate weeks before we started to TTC... I thought I did everything right. We have a healthy and intelligent 4 year old. We tried for 3 years for this baby finally succeeding through Ivf and the thought of something being wrong is crippling me. I've been avoiding friends and family, I find myself not Wanting to discuss the pregnancy or even think about it, as awful as it sounds. I feel so guilty and lost.

So... I've been booked in (without anyone calling to discuss my options) for an amnio at King Edward Hospital. We have to wait a month for the proceedure and another two weeks for the results. I don't know how I'm going to manage.

Has anyone been through this? Does anyone know what actually causes the low results?

Please excuse my poor spelling and grammar, I'm on my phone... I can hardly see what I'm typing through the tears.
