Dual screening test in pregnancy

Hi, I'm 13wks4dys. I missed the chance to have nuchal translucency measured at my 12wk scan due to a miscommunication with the sonagrapher. I'm now being offered a quadruple blood test - is this as good? But still, faced with these screening tests I find myself freaking out about the results before we even get them. Can someone help to reassure me?

Hi, I am 31 years old and pregnant. My dual marker report shows “Trisomy 21 age risk: 1/485” and combined risk after NT and blood markers as <1/10,000 (screen negative). I want to understand: is the age-related risk (1/485) the same for all women of my age, or does it vary between individuals? Is 1/485 considered my actual pregnancy

The 1/485 is just your age-based baseline risk before any screening. Your actual result, the combined risk of less than 1/10,000, is what counts, and that's already reported as screen negative. ...  Read More
