[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you would abort for something like Downs then get the test. It's a difference of finding out at 10 weeks vs finding out at 14 weeks, which is big. If you wouldn't abort for abnormalities not matter what, it's less of an issue and you'll find out at the NT scan. [/quote]

Nobody would find out at 10 weeks. Because the NIPT can't tell you definitely if the baby has downs. So most people would not just abort without knowing for sure. Which would require an early CVS at 12-13 weeks. So earliest they would "find out" would be like 13 weeks.[/quote]

Ok, but NT scan is still a screening test as well that necessitates several weeks of testing after that, so you're finding out at 17 weeks or so. [/quote]

No. You can have a CVS between 10-13 weeks. preliminary results for straightforward things such as downs are available within a couple days. Then usually the full results about a week later. I don't know what you are talking about with "several weeks of testing". Unless you wait to do an amnio instead of a CVS there is no way you would have to wait until 17 weeks. [/quote]
