    I think the doctor would suggest invasive testing CVS or aminositis..best is to check with doctor..for many ppl i have heard that after CVS it became clear that their baby didnt have down syndrome..

    all the best..dont worry..

    It is little bit high risk but it does not mean that there is definetly something wrong 1:75 means the probability that out of 75 one baby will have a problem and its random so don't lose your heart .. Go ahead for cvs ., cvs is done after 12 weeks unlike amino which is done after20 weeks .. Cvs does pose a risk for miscarriage

    Thanks for your reply.
    Dr. asked us to go for Quadrpule on 15th Feb, which will be 15 weeks 4 days.
    I would also like to mention that during ultrasound (11 weeks 4 days) everything reported normal.

    Quadrpule result came it is now 1:102 which is still shows some risk. But my personal opinion is I dont trust this report. Ultrasound report shows 100% perfect child growth. Dont want to visit doctor in Apollo again. But seems I am trapppped under their shell.

    Mehana thanks for your reply. such +ve comments really gave us confidence. We are also mentally ready to continue with pregnancy. Many old Dr. says that multiple screening too much technology is now a days just for makng money.

    I believe u have done nt scan along with quadruple blood test. Nt scan will give u a clear picture if ultrasound and nt scan and ultrasound is normal then there is nothing to worry about
