Good and bad

So will try to put into words what I feel< but it’s pretty hard at the moment.
Went for our NT scan yesterday, and it was so precious to see the babies.
Twin 1 at the bottom was a real little busy body and so cute LO is measuring 12w4d and is 6.19cm long.
This ones nucleal fold measurement is 1.3mm which puts the baby at a really low risk for downs and a risk of 1:10000
Twin 2 was a bit more relaxed and measured at 12w2d and 5.67cm.
Nucleal fold is 2.5mm which really worries me and this put us at 1:540 chance for downs.
They did however take some bloods and we are waiting for the results but I am really worried as my first betas where really high, I don’t know if it indicates anything and from what I have read this test is really unreliable as far as twins are concerned.
The good news is that both babies has really clear nasal bones and they both seem very healthy and Dr doesn’t seem to concerned, we are not going for an amnio due to the chances for miscarriage.
It also seems that I have some implantation bleeding floating about and I don’t really know what it means, prob not good.
And then it looks like the 2 placentas might have fused, the babies are so close that we cant really tell...
So all in all good and bad I guess, really worried about the chances of downs for twin 2
Don’t really know what to say , been crying a lot ....
