I was wondering the same thing.

I wish I had stopped at the FTS, bc risks were low, but the integrated screen gave higher risk (though still not slarming).
I didn't want to do anything invasive with a risk for loss.

Thanks ladies for your input.
My doc doesn't really push the testing so I had to bring it up again today. I missed the first trimester screening CVS/nuchal measurement because honestly he never mentioned it at my last visit. Today, he did say I could get the quad screening done, but to keep in mind it is only a number for risk factor, and that is it. So, now I am contemplating doing the quad screening.
I had an amnio done with my last pregnancy due to AMA but I am still nervous about getting the quad screening since it seems to factor in so many things that I am afraid it will come back with a number that will alarm me..
Decisions, decisions,
Kristi
I personally would be wary of the quad screen bc I've had bad experiences with it. But if you want to do screening and avoid invasive testing if possible, at this point it's the only option left.
Keep in mind, though, that with eggs from a younger donor, your baseline risk is going to be low, so maybe the testing isn't as critical.
Keep us posted!
