Got some good news for a change!

I had my NT scan on Monday. I am doing a new thing called sequential. They do the scan, take your blood and give you a preliminay result. Then at 16 weeks they add in your quad screen results. This ends up giving you a 95% accuracy.

DH and I decided if anything was positive we would do the amnio.

My results from Monday's scan and blood draw are negative! And I did good, I didn't ask what the stats ended up being... They are saying negative, I am going with that.

I was worried because they factor in your age and I am 40.

So far so good it seems! Now, if I could only stop spotting so much (none today at least).

That's wonderful news, Jacqueline! And kudos to you for having the strength to NOT ask for the numbers/stats! Will you give me a pep talk about that when it's my turn??

Hope you're able to relax a little more now. Go away, spot!

Jacqueline:

Hooray for some good news! I hope that's all you get from here on out!

My NT is scheduled for June (I'm just 5 weeks 4 days but already so freaked out because of the AMA thing (am also 40). Some moments I think I won't be able to stand it and want to go right to an amnio or even cvs and other times I think ok maybe I can handle going to NT route first and only do an amnio if needed. I just have so much more anxiety than I thought I would - and I knew there would be some...

Glad to hear your good news!
