hi,

I had a CVS as my NT ultrasound result returned a 1:12 risk for Downs. The risk of m/c for a CVS (1:100)is higher than an Amnio ( 1:200) . There are risks with all procedures .

You have a CVS (optimally at 11 to 13 weeks of pregnancy) compared to amniocentesis (15 to 16 weeks of pregnancy).

As my results were so high, the 1:12, DD showed very thick NT measurment, however i was only 26. We wanted to know if there may have been a syndrome or not.

The week after the CVS was performed i was on bed rest, and took it really easy. DId nothing actually read books, thank goodness i didnt have the internet at home or i would have googled myself silly! anyway our results returned a healthy girl.

We went through genetic couselling before the test was performed and discussed options should the results reveal a syndorme or genetic condition.

All the best, with you results xox
