As the appointment I was given by my hospital for my dating/nuchal scan was quite late (at 13 weeks and 1 day), I booked a private one for 12 weeks. As it happens, the private one was delayed, so in the end there were only 5 days between the scans.
The private one confirmed my dates exactly, and gave me a risk factor of 1:1243. The NHS one says my due date is 5 days earlier, and my risk factor is 1:733. Both good risk factors for my age (I'm 37) but I'm surprised at the differences, and I've even started to wonder how much you can erly on these things at all, if they can give such different results.
Anyone else got any experience of this?
