Bit of a shock today as I had a call from a specialist midwife about my combined test for Down syndrome risk - we have an increased risk, mainly due to my blood results I think as she didn't really mention the NT result. As we had the test on Dec 19th I totally thought we were low risk as we'd been told we would be contacted within 3 days if the risk was high, but today I was told they had a policy not to contact people over Christmas, which I understand but why didn't they tell me that before, grrr.
Don't want invasive tests. It is a 1 in 95 chance. Don't know if we want the non-invasive tests that give a high degree of accuracy but are not diagnostic. Now thinking why did I have screening at all! Also, from what I've googled all day (!) my blood results aren't typical of a high Down risk, as PAPPP-A reults were very high when they would normally be lower. beta-HCG was really high

Going to speak to the midwife again tomorrow now I've got my head around it a bit and ask lots of questions. Don't really want to tell people irl, can't deal with their worry too.
Mindy - if you don't mind me asking, what were your abnormal blood results?
