1moremom -- Thank you for all your positive comments!!
steffie92s -- Thank you, you actually got me thinking about my numbers and with all the suggestions I got from this post I called my perinatologist to check on my probabbility rates,
and to verify why the numbers have gone from 1/6700 (11 weeks blood work)and 1/265 (16 weeks blood work)
to 1/100.
He explained me in detail, he mentioned that there are 2 ways to look at the probability..
According to my 11 week blood work the odds are 1/2200 ( with one soft marker EFI on the heart)
According to my 16 week blood work done by ob-gyn, odds are 1/90 ( with one soft marker EFI on the heart).
He also mentioned that numbers don't necessarily cut into half , they need to be divided by 2.8 it seems...
He said the bloodwork that was done at 11 weeks is much more accurate
and he also mentioned that the blood work done at 16 weeks is a regular blood work( not so high-tech)
that is prone to have more false-positives ( my ob-gyn also agreed to this)

Long story short.. I just found out that I have a new and improved probability rate which is 1/2200

I don't have to go back for another U/S until Apr 16th(I will be 28 weeks by then)
Good luck to you all!!
