This has been a really stressful week. I am 16 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Got a screen positive 1:130 risk. I am 35 years old and my cutout was given as 1:200. For the first test I screened negative and for the 15 week blood draw I screened positive. Here are the quad results :
AFP MOM : 0.85 based on :26 ng/ml
HCG MOM : 1.41 based on 55. 84 IU/ml
uE3 MOM : 0.57 based on 0.46 ng/ ml
Inhibin Mom : 0.84 based on 198.6 pg/ml
I met with a genetic counsellor and decided to do the Maternit21 test. She did say that nothing in my hormones or NT (1.41 based on :2.2 mm) could suggest why I was screened positive. The stress is killing me!
Moms look at my values and tell me what could have caused this screen positive. Is my HCG high at 1.41?? Does anyone know of the average values for this kind of a test which would bring my risk higher? If I knew this would cause me so much stress I would have declined all testing!
