Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The pregnancy is tested by beta-hCG (beta human chorionic gonadotropin), and it is usually increased only during that period. A level above 1500 is said to show visible pregnancy by transvaginal ultrasound. Beta hCG doubles in 48 hours and is measured once in 48 hours. If it doubles, then it indicates likely pregnancy. In the era of ultrasound, a level of more than 3000 IU should reveal a pregnancy. Kindly get it done for definitive diagnosis.

The particular test tells you about the risk of having Down's syndrome that can be detected by a blood test. A cut off below 1 in 250 is high risk. In your case it is 1 in 2 that is 50 % chance that baby is affected. You must get an amniocentesis , that is tapping of water from the water around the baby and testing it's chromosome. it will confirm whether baby has the disease. If the baby is affected by Down's syndrome, you will be given an option of termination. Kindly do it.
