I know this might be a personal thing but I was just wondering if anyone wanted to share their views on the Down's Syndrome screening and diagnostic tests?
Hi, I've just had the first part of the Harmony test done, back next week for the blood results and detail scan - I will have the NHS test too but know due to my age that I'll be a high risk so this gives my a proper result and 99% effective is better than the NHS result.

I had the Harmony test too and for me it was a good option. I have been a lot more relaxed since without the worry of an amnio. I had the bloods at 10 weeks and the nuclear scan at 12 weeks via the same place that did the Harmony test. They advised me not to have the NHS test as it could come back high risk even though Harmony test is coming back low risk. I rang the NHS to say I no longer required the nuchal screening at the 12 week scan and because I had been private, they then refused to let me have the 12 week scan so be aware of this. xxx
I really had no idea it was such a high percentage either. Is that purely downs or does that figure include the other syndromes?? xx
