High risk

I have been told I'm in a high risk for down syndrome.

I have to go back on Thursday for the next blood test.

I'm 38 years old and nearly 18 weeks. So nervous and scared about the results and next steps!

@Bigkingdom that is amazing news congratulations I’m so happy for you! I don’t know what to say about your husband tho? You must be so relieved x

@Bigkingdom that’s great news.
What were your odds, blood levels and NT score if you don’t mind me asking?

Bigkingdom · 18/05/2020 16:34

@S1986york thank you. I am very relieved. I am not with the baby’s father anymore and we aren’t on good terms.

@Momlin thank you. My NT measurement was 2.6mm, PAPP-A levels 1.12 MoM and hCG 1.24 MoM. They gave me a 1 in 60 chance of having a baby with Down’s Syndrome.

Good luck too all those still waiting for results!

Momlin · 18/05/2020 16:51

Thank you @Bigkindom
My Nt was 2.5mm
PAPPA was 0.58
HCg through the roof 4.5
Hoping to hear tomorrow.

@Momlin maybe you want to give them a call? I too was told to expect a call anytime before 7pm but I couldn't wait and they called me back an hour later.

Momlin · 19/05/2020 14:38

@NoCallerID I just called now but they said the results aren’t back yet.
They said they would keep an eye out for them though and call me as soon as they do

What a great day for you all. 😊 It is such a relief when the results come through. Good luck now with the rest of your pregnancies.. Are any of you going to have an amnio now? I have my second sweep on Thursday so really not long for me now!! X

NoCallerID · 19/05/2020 19:20

@Momlin that's amazing news!! So so happy for you!

Momlin · 19/05/2020 19:23

@Liveforholidays I opted for the Cvs straight away as for me even the slightest uncertainty would drive me crazy.
All the best for you in the next few weeks x

Bigkingdom · 19/05/2020 21:25

My chances came back as 1 in a million so i am happy with that. Will not be having an amnio.
