NT scan - Anyone had a high risk one pg, then a low risk the next pg?

Just wanted to stop by and wish you luck for your upcoming NT scan and offer you my perspective.

The mothers' age is factored into the NT scan results to get your overall ratio. So being over 35 already this may bring your result numbers down. That's just the way they work the results out - part of it is age based. I had an NT scan done when I was 39. My results came back and they weren't good. I spent such alot of time worrying about this. I made myself sick with anxiety. Regardless of my final outcome when I thought about the NT scan in hindsight I came to the conclusion (my own personal view) that for a woman of my age the scan was nothing but unnecessary stress. There is a chance that you will have the NT scan and then they will still ask you to have CVS or an amnio. That is completely up to you of course. Some women will go through with their pregnancy regardless of outcome and then this makes the choice to have these tests irrelivant. I feel that because of my age that if I am lucky enough to get another chance at being PG I would skip the NT scan and just gave the CVS test done. That's just my opinion for myself but the NT scan and worry invovled took alot out of me.
I hope you don't mind me telling my story. I wish you all the best for your test and hope that you get great results.

Aussiegirl - I was hoping to have the CVS done first TBH with you, but then the Midwife ordered the scan. The stress with the NT scan was agonizing on me too, which is why I am soooo nervous this time round. Another reason why I couldnt believe the DR after bringing just having the CVS done, then when I agree with him he doesnt do anything about it. I would prefer to not have this stress but maybe this is how it is meant to play out for me, hopefully without the stress of high risk numbers. Thankyou.
