The nuchal should tell you what risk you are then you can decide on the amnio or not. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We didn't have any screenings either other than the typical anatomical U/S scan at 20 weeks. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I am over 40 and hubby has some dodgey chromosomes that affect some sperm, so we had an amnio. If I had been younger I don't think I would have done. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I had a blood test, think it was around 16 weeksish, to say whether I was low or high risk for certain things, it came back low, so that was it. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I had a triple blood test to check the inital risk levels and as they were low no need for further testing |
