[quote=Anonymous]LJ, I'm due in October but I'm not a regular on this board.  I was in a similar situation with the NT results minus the lab screw up.  My results for DS were 1/4000 I think but the results for the other trisomies were around 1/450.  My husband and I decided not to do any more testing because we were frustrated and none of the tests were explained to us very well.  The uncertainty from these NT results were affecting me more than I would even admit to myself.  At 17 weeks I refused to buy maternity clothes despite a huge belly and I was really dragging my feet on telling friends that I don't see often about the pregnancy.  At my last regular checkup they brought up the MaterniT21 again and I was in tears. My husband didn't want me to have it done but I realized that the uncertainty brought about by the NT was really affecting me negatively and I truly believe I could handle bad news better than not knowing.  Chances are everything is fine with you but from someone who was adamantly opposed to more testing, I think knowing can be better than wondering/worrying for the next 5 months.[/quote]
