Hi there, I am new here and looking for advice. I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Last week I went for the combined scan and blood test, these are my results:
Nuchal Measurement - 1.00 MoM
Free B-HCG - 4.43 MoM
PAPP-A Level - 0.85 MoM
I am 32 and will be 33 at my due date. The average DS risk for me should be 1:570 but I have been told mine is now 1:350, mainly due to the HCG result. I know this is still officially low risk but I am obsessing about why my HCG would be SO high and what this means. Does anyone else have experience of this kind of result? I am planning to pay for an 'add on' blood test at 15 weeks where they test the HCG again along with some other things. Wondering whether I can have a more detailed scan now (at 13 weeks too?)
Any advice would be great. Thanks
