I don't know if it helps, but two friends of mine were given high chances of DS (one of them with twins) and the amnio results were fine. I'm hoping your results are also fine, but if they are not, you and husband will know what to do.<br />I hope the ovary problem is not serious.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906704416048827050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-43014565598549518582011-09-23T18:27:26.336-07:002011-09-23T18:27:26.336-07:00Ack.

We were given a 1 in 10 chance of Down Syndrome and I was terrified. We unfortunately lost him in the second trimester. He did have Down Syndrome. I can tell you with every ounce of my being that I would give anything to have him here with us with or without DS. It's new and scary to think of the difficulties and challenges to face, but even if your baby does have Down Syndrome, you will be over the moon with how perfect he/she is! The odds are very much in your favor that the baby has typical chromosomes, but if it is DS, you WILL get through it and I think in the end, you will still feel very blessed <3Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11981961310471707388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-420188189019284712011-09-20T13:37:08.375-07:002011-09-20T13:37:08.375-07:00I'm really sorry to hear your update after wha...I'm really sorry to hear your update after what you have been through this should be a time to enjoy.

Now add your/our medical knowledge (I'm in Peds) and damn....it certainly feels overwhelming. We do know way too much for our own good.... WTH is up with solid mass....are you impending a biopsy or just ol wait and see approach at this point? I would have to admit I think that ia scarier than the trisomy part. And although tough to hear anything might be wrong with the chromosomal make-up...please try to focus on 91%.....you can't change anything now..except your attitude and approach.

You just have to find a doctor who does a LOT of them ALL the time and that adds into the safety factor. Also, with my pregnancy this time round, my PAPP-A was low and my HCG was high but NT was normal, my regular OB has suggested an Amnio for 'just to know' sakes and put my mind at ease, but to not do it before 17 weeks as there are no known losses at this gestational age. If you are thinking of keeping this child whatever the outcome, then neither is really necessary.

I was also given a low percentage of Downs when I was pregnant last year. All of the Drs poo-poo'd the REAL possibility, while I spent my pregnancy in fear and on "high-alert." My baby was born with Downs.<br />While scary, and life-changing, I can honestly say that it is not the end of the world. The one thing I would do differently with my pregnancy, is worry less. It didn't change my outcome. It won't change yours, so do your best to enjoy your pregnancy and the miracle/gift you are about to receive. Sending up prayers for a genetically healthy baby.Mrs. Mochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728025498421323055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-71081839719770691612011-09-17T21:25:05.276-07:002011-09-17T21:25:05.276-07:00Thanks for updating us - I have been thinking abou...Thanks for updating us - I have been thinking about you and hoping everything was ok.

I also chose not to do the CVS or the amnio for that matter. Anything that came with a risk of miscarriage was just too much for me. With my threatened miscarriage around 12 weeks right before my NT scan...my bragging rights were taken away rather quickly too.<br /><br />I hope you stick with the positive side of this...91% is way better than 10%. You've already surpassed where you thought you could be! Keeping you as always in my thoughts and prayers.
