Nuchal fold results - buddy(s) needed

[tazmo]

hi

I know this is not new but wondered if anyone going through the same thing right now at this time. Had nuchal test and odds of down's is 1/20. Was a shock as previous pregnancy I had 1/3000 and cannot believe it's so high! I am 40 right now, have 2 children and feel v lucky to have them. But I am worried about the difficult choice I may have to make if the amnio comes back positive for down. Am nearly 14 weeks and go back to have a chat and scan I guess for soft markers on 6 feb. Not sure if they do the amnio there and then.

I was a bit speechless when they rang but have been told to call if I have q's. All I know is that age is against me and my nuchal was 2.9 mm (upper range of normal). I haven't asked about bloods but something has knocked me up the odds scale!!!

Anyone going through this now? Advice on q's to ask is welcome!

Thanks for letting me know. I am so pleased for you!

Thanks! Keeping everything crossed for you too. I know how interminable the wait is.

Tazmo - how did your appointment go? Did you have the amino? Have been keeping everything crossed for you

Hi
Thanks - yes had amnio. It seemed to go ok. Felt the consultant was in a rush but he is good. I didn't get individual test results and I had to ask him tom check the soft markers. He couldn't see anything obvious. But it wasn't sore at all.in fact, it's the result I am nervous of. They gave me up to 7 working days : o (

They said likely to get initial results before end of week - tap pity tap!

Glad it all went OK. 7 days seems a long wait (we got ours the next day), but hopefully it won't take that long. The waiting is the hardest bit, but keeping everything crossed for you.

Thanks! I know - hope it comes sooner. Will let you know!

Well keeping everything crossed for you. Hopefully you will get the results sooner than 7 days, we were told 72 hours and got them within 48 hours. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Yes 7 working days is agreement with lab but consultant said he hoped I would hear by Fri. Still not as quick as you though. 24 hours down.....

48 hours now - no results yet!
Could be even this time next week - hope not!
Had bit of period pain like cramps - what did you get told re timescale on m- c risk? I was told mostly in first 72 hours but could happen up tp 2 weeks after. Tho after 2 weeks, if all ok, should not happen after that. Thrrrrum thrrrreum.

Thankfully results of rapid test ok. Phew!!!! Glad I did not have to wait another day!!!!!

That's great news! You must be so relieved. Like you I was told m/c risk highest for 72 hours and that it then continues to reduce over the 3 following weeks.

The further i get away from the amnio the better. So tired as woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep. Should sleep easier tonight!!
