1:14 risk of Downs

[Taranta]

Hi, I had my nuchal scan today at 12+2. This confirmed I had lost one twin at 7 weeks and am now carrying just one baby. I have been given a risk factor of 1:14 for Downs (1:785 for the other Trisomies) because I'm 41, the nasal bone wasn't very clear, and my bHGC level was really high at 7 MoM. The rest of the nuchal was fine.
I'm booked in for a CVS tomorrow and am feeling very low about the whole thing. Has anyone had similar sort of results and what was your outcome?

fantastic!

Excellent news! :-D x

Phew. That relief feels amazing. Glad you had a good result.

Excellent news! Hope the rest of the pregnancy will be much calmer and more relaxing!

That's great news! I hope that's the worst part of your pregnancy over with and it's plain sailing from now on!

Fantastic news, I'm so pleased for you. I know how worrying and stressful a time it is and you must be so relieved!

I know this thread is a little old but I have exactly the same odds with severely low PAPP-A and high bhcg. I'm waiting for my results today after cvs yesterday.
I'm extremely upset as this is an ivf pregnancy and I was just hoping it would go well for me.
I'm not sure I'll be able to answer the phone when they ring this evening.
I've spoken to ARC who were brilliant and helped crystallise things in my head if it is a positive result which some how helped me cope a bit better.

I hope Taranta you were ok. I know I feel like I'm in bits and not sure what to do with myself.

Lardycow I'm sorry you're going through the same thing.

What a horrible wait.

I know arc are wonderful. I'm sure they said this. It they are more than happy to speak to you every day if you need it.

Were you given a risk for ds?

my risk was also 1:14
Bhcg 2.6
PAPP-A 0.25

Told no abnormality found this evening.
I've never felt so relieved and I did a lot of crying.
ARC were brilliant.

Great news lardy

hi lovely ladies i hope you dont mind me joining this thread. I am still reeling from the phone call last Thurs to tell me my downs risk was extremely high 1:5. I felt knocked for 6. I feel so petrified and overwhelmed. The nuchal was okay 2.1 (i am 39) but my bloods apparently were off the scale. lots of tears but we decided we go to the Fetal Medical Centre for the Harmony test and a repeat scan/bloods. They were so lovely. The scan was reassuring and negative for what they call soft markers but my bloods were crazy. Hcg was 4.1 and the other .53. I have been like a crazy woman trying to Google why I would have such a high result if it wasn't downs. I am trying to take each step at a time and remember how cute baby looked today but the next two weeks will be so hard. I just wanted to say it is reassuring to read your thoughts and know I am not alone. xx
