Hello doctor,
I was recommended for NIPT, early TIFA scan and then amniocentesis if needed. Here are my NT and double marker reports. Kindly interpret the real risk level for me and what should be the next step ahead if there is any concern.

Moreover, amnio is said to be risky and I do not want to take risks.
