these r not straightforward positive or negative tests hence would be better if u discuss with ur doc.

Hello..<br>
Test results are sometimes reported to doctors as Multiples of the Median (MoM). The average value is therefore called 1.0 MoM. Down syndrome pregnancies have lower levels of AFP and estriol, so their levels would be below the average, and therefore less than 1.0 MOM. Likewise, hCG in a Down syndrome pregnancy would be greater than 1.0 MoM. In the serum screening, the lab reports all results in either this way or as a total risk factor calculated by a software program. Your blood results and NT scan look fine... dont get scared.. and dont forget to get an opinion with your doctor too..
