Bottom line result is "within normative range". We did a nuchal translucency early ultrasound test (1st trimester) coupled w/ a blood test. This screened - not diagnosed - genetic screening (there's a BIG difference!!) for chromosomal abnormalities of Trisomy 21, 13, and 18. Trisomy 21 is Down Syndrome. I was concerned about that because of my age. The lab quotes a detection rate of approx. 97% of Trisomy 13 and 18 and approx. 90% detection rate of Down Syndrome w/ these combined tests. I won't get into all the medical mumbo-jumbo unless you ask and I'll re-type what's on my report for you.

Here's the weird thing: my Down Syndrome risk is 1 in 1200, which is LESS than a 35-yr-old's risk of 1 in 308. That's good. My Trisomy 13/18 risk is 1 in 3,081, which is WAY WAY less than 1 in 150.

So odds look great so far for a healthy baby! YAY!
