Hi all - sorry no personals at the moment as should be working - but just wanted to let you all know that I got my GCT results and at 6.4 there is no sign of GD.
Chez - I am 37 (so in a higher risk bracket also) and I just had the NT scan and BT done. My risk went from something like 1 in 100 (which was purely my age related risk) down to 1 in 2,800 after the combined scan and BT. So we decided not to risk any further tests. On a personal note, I don't think that I would have had further tests done even if the result had not been good. However, that is such a personal decision. For me and my DH we were prepared to continue with the pregnancy even if our child was DS.
Well i have my BT booked for thursday morning and will be checking how HCG levels are going, im still very nervous but all the pain has subsided which is great, im feeling soooo tired all the time though and a bit dizzy if i get up too fast. other than that im fine when i get further down the track i wont be doing the DS testing as in one of my lectures last year there was a study done saying that 1 in a 100 cases where DS has been determined and the mother aborted or chose to still give birth the baby infact came out fine! was quite scary actually such a huge number! study was done recently too. So modern medicine isnt always correct! hope everyone is having a nice day! Oh and i also told my mum we were expecting again and she isnt too thrilled its not like im 16 im almost 22 and engaged! i was quite hurt actually but she will come around i guess she thinks im going to ruin my life!
Thanks for your replies and comments. At this stage we have definitely ruled out CVS as the miscarriage rate is too high for us. And we are going to go ahead and get the NT scan and bt done. Only then if the the number show a high risk will we consider having an amniocentesis done. There is just too much risk to our miracle baby for us to contemplate without cause other than age.
Thanks again and hope you're all having a great day!
