Didn't you ask this?: Your risk assessment was obsolete, Ultrasound detection of Down at 20 weeks misses many. Demand a test of freei fetal DNA in your blood sample--your PCP can order the Harmony test from Ariosa: call 1-855-9-ARIOSA (855-927-4672) In over 15,000 pregnancies they detected 100% of Down syndrome and the chance of a false positive was less than 1 in 1000. Results in 4 to 8 days.
