I got my test results yesterday from the combined screening of last week. Because this is a screening, it’s only a measure of probability, not a definitive YES/NO on these various conditions.
But that said, my probabilities for Down’s Syndrome and Trisomy-13 and -18 are extremely low: 1 in 681 for Downs (average for my age group is 1:35), and 1 in 1200 for Trisomy (average is 1:64). So WOOT! So rather than doing the invasive CVS this week, I will go for an amnio in 3 more weeks. This has lower risk of miscarriage, and higher accuracy.
So one more hurdle crossed! YAY!

That’s great news! What week are you in? Big relief for you!
Question: Has anyone heard of limb deformity issues with CVS? I recall reading that about 11 years ago and wonder if it has changed since it isn’t in my latest What to Expect Pregnancy book.
