Michelle,

your risk is still low. I would estimate the risk to be about 1 in 200 at most, given your age and markers. You can get further reassurance by have a normal biochemical screen (triple or quad screen). I would not suggest an amnio unless the biochemical screen was positive or borderline.

thanks

David

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
