Any result on IPS screening over 1 in 200 is considered screen NEGATIVE for Trisomy 21 (Down's). So congratulations on a negative result (which is what you want on a test like this)!
I'm surprised he didn't go over your results in more detail! I'd be frustrated!
The Mount Sinai page has some good information about the tests - http://www.mountsinai.on.ca/care/pdmg/tests/ips

I know two women who had there results come back less than 1 in 10!! Both babies checked out fine! There is a massive margin for error in these tests but it's also a better way than doing an amino because most would.opt not to, I'm 29.and min came back 1 in 16000 it doesn't make your baby more likely it's just a guude. Relax now you have a healthy bub on board!

The NT ultrasound can't tell for certain whether your baby is affected. However, it can help you decide whether or not to have a diagnostic test. so, if your doc said "you dont need an amnio" than that means your results were good enough that he's not concerned!
i did an NT scan too. i just wanted the ultrasound, i didnt care about the results lol. but my doc just told me my result was negative for downs and trisomy 18. i didnt get a number or anything.

Thank you so much for your response! After experiencing 3 miscarriages, pregnancy has been stressful enough already. That being said, I would love my baby no matter what, but I must say I am relieved. I was very frustrated with my doc, like I said, all he told me is I wouldn't need an amino. Thanks again for removing some unneeded stress!
