Glad everything is okay.
To answer the question as to why they continue to do the test despite the frequent elevated results?
I was told at length beforehand that I should EXPECT elevated results and that it (alone) is not a diagnostic test. I think some Dr.'s must forget to say that because i see a lot of worried posts about elevated results. You have to remember that an elevated result such as 1:53 for Downs means that you could still be 52 out of 53 that has a healthy unaffected baby. With that said, the reason that I consented to the test knowing that the results could be elevated (mine weren't) was the important information that it provides IF you were to have a baby that had some type of defect upon birth. Rather than scrambling to try and figure things out, your Dr. has important information already right at their fingertips with areas to cue in on. That was a selling point for me. Also, again, it is not meant to be a diagnostic tool. It is a QUAD screen meaning that it is just ONE component of the whole screen. It's like labeling someone as a diabetic based on a blood test alone without screening for family history, personal history, etc...
