Maz - the ultrasound looked fine - nuchal fold 2mm - good heartbeat, growth, presence of nasal bone - but combined results were 1/227 - which I know is nothing like being told a 1/6 chance or something but they are still recommending invasive testing for risks over 1/300. So, all I can think of is that my bloods were bad - I am 37 so that doesn't help, though I was talking to a girl at playgroup who is 40 and she came back with 1/650 - so it can't be all my age....the thing is with an amnio it is 1/200 chance of miscarriage so i feel like I am being stuck between a rock and a hard place...
ETA - I am 13 weeks tomorrow and havn't told anyone, starting to show but don't want to tell people till we are clear on it all...all a bit tricky. and an amnio can't be done till 15 weeks, cvs has higher chance of miscarriage..

I guess you need to weigh up the pros and cons. Is a hard decision to make. The odds aren't overally bad, I assume extra testing just to make sure? And you're near the cut off. A girl in my buddy group with Em went thru high odds, lots tests and then nothing, their DD csme out ok. If you wanted to ask her questions I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I can pm you her user name if you wanted to contact her. 
Happy birthday JACK!!!!
with my sisters wedding in April on the Sunshine Coast, then the meet up in Sydney, it'll be too much for me unfortunately.
