Hi

Just like you my triple test came back with high risk 1:187 for DS and 1:28 for Edwards Syndrome. it was my bloods that increased the risk as the U/S was really good. i'm due for amnio in 2 weeks so i can't give you an outcome as to me, but i have come across a lot of success stories from women who had high risk but after amnio got all clear...... try to stay positive i know its easier said than done and i know the waiting is the hardest but if you need someone to talk to i'll be here for you.

same here, except with twins. Dr. said we have enhanced markers for edwards. At the same time he also said sometimes twins can throw off the triple screen and give u wonky results

i've read that as well about twins esspecialy the PAPP-A results , mine is IVF pregnancy and that also can throw off bloods but i dont think they take either situation in consideration when doing the blood test calculations. have your doctor given you an option to having a second trimester bloods in order to get a combined risk before you have the amnio.....we didn't get that option but i know its possible to have it done. We will stick for the amnio due to the Edwards and what i have learned about it. i hope all goes well for you
