NT scan fine, bloods now make me high risk..HELP :(

Congrats on finally getting your BFP

Think of it this way, if you had 49 babies, one of them would have a chromosonal issue. That could be your first of the 49, or the last. If the scan showed ok but it's the bloods bringing the risk factor up, then I'd say that chances are baby is ok - the blood they test is YOURS and shows the chances of you making a baby with chromosonal issues. Does that make sense?

Are you having the amnio? Would you terminate if it did have something wrong?

That's not technically correct. The blood they test is the mothers, but the tests they do look for the levels of the hormones PAPP–A (Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein–A) and free beta–hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin hormone) which are produced by the placenta. That means that the levels can differ from one pregnancy to the next in the same mother.

Tara, it sounds like your babies placenta might be making a little more hcg or a little less PAPP-A than usual, but based on your risk ratio please hold hope because there's a 48 in 49 chance the baby is perfectly fine. While that ratio is said to be high risk, those odds are still pretty good.

My fingers are crossed for you (and for doochydoo) that you get good news back from your tests ♥

Tara - not sure if you've already got the results of your CVS back yet? Just saw this thread today. Fingers crossed that you got a good result.
Doochydoo - Like Tara I had a good result from the 12 week scan and then bloods came back as high risk 1:24. I didn't opt for an amnio or CVS as I wouldn't have changed anything. We had our little girl in early May and all was fine. I hadn't bothered with the blood tests for my previous two pregnancies - perhaps ignorance is bliss?
Hope your amnio goes well and you get a good result.
Best of luck to both of you.
