Today's appointment went well, the genetic counselor was reassuring of the positives of our case. The fact that we only have one indication of DS is a positive sign.
I don't really have the energy to go into all the details now, but the nasal bone was present, bhCG was normal, NT was normal, maternal age is good, so the only thing at this point is the PAPP-A protein being low.
No invasive tests means we will wait until 20 weeks for our level2/anatomy scan where they will check the baby in detail, the placenta as well as look for "soft markers" of DS. Nothing will be conclusive, but we could walk out of their more reassured or less reassured depending on what they see.
I really do want to know for sure one way or another, I just wish there was a non-invasive way to get those results.
I am feeling better about everything today then I was yesterday, so we just stay positive and wait. Praying for some good growth and no markers.
