Hi ladies, for those that had the blood test part of the nuchal (ds) test what was you Papp-a result (in mom) and also your free beta hCG (also in mom) result if you don't mind me asking.
Would just like to get an average of the ladies on here as mine hasnt been explained to me properly but has affected my adjusted trisomy 21 risk. I seem to have a high beta hgc and low papp-a.
mine were;
NT was 1.30mm
-Free-B-HC:215.09IU/I equivalent to 3.878mom
-PAPP-A: 1.330IU/I equivalent to 0.687mom.
My risk came back as 1:142...am really debating as to whether i should have the amnio done as i have visited a few sites that have suggested that smoking does affect your blood in first tri screaning, eg papp-a levels.
would like to compare and also it would help me make my mind up with regards to having the amnio done on the 16/12/10.
many thanks,
olga

Hi, I don't have a clue how they work but these are mine for my baby who was born last October healthy with no problems.
Age at EDD 36
Preg %231
Non smoker
62kg
No family history of DS/other chromosomal problems
NT 1.1mm (Corr.MoM 0.77)
hGCb 37.6 U/L (Corr.MoM 0.92)
PAPP-A 2700.6 mU/L (Corr.MoM 1.02)

My risk came back as 1:16000, age risk 1:330
Good luck, I know what an anxious wait it is!

I got my result today and it says I'm at risk so I'm having CVS next Monday.
Risk of DS was 1:182

The result that I got is:
free beta hCG = 3.38MoM (according to my search, this is higher than normal)
PAPP-A = 1.61 MoM (i don't understand this one. according to my search, lower than 0.4 or something increases the risk)
NT= 1.7mm = 1.32 MoM
NT GA = 11w6d

I'm so worried. With my first baby, I was at risk too and had amnio and said baby had mosaic down syndrome so terminated baby after long discussion with drs and husband. I really wanted this pregnancy goes well and this happens again. I'm so devastated. Hope CVS all going OK.

Risk factors for Down Syndrome are usually higher than normal hCG, lower than normal PAPP-A (lower than around 0.4 like you said), and high NT measurement. Your NT measurement and PAPP-A look fine, it is probably mainly the hCG that puts you at higher risk. FWIW my hCG levels were 4.3 MoM and I had a higher NT measurement than you but amnio results were clear.

roopasdm · 24/01/2014 09:16

I got my NT scan done and I my NT measures 2.6mm AND PAPPA IS 0.446 mom and HCG 0.74 MOM.
I got my risk as 1:1834. I am not considering an amino as I have low risk. But still this number
bothers me. Please suggest what should I do.

Hey, just got my result through today.

I'll be 30 years 0 months at term and my results were as follows:

hCGb = 0.88 Corr MoM
PAPP-A = 1.18 Corr MoM
NT = 1.70 mm (0.90 Corr MoM)

This have me a low risk of 1 in 100000. Very relieved.

Best of luck to everyone who is waiting for their results and those who have them xx
