Late 30s - what was your Down Syndrome risk?

[PurpleFlower1983]

Mine has come back at 1/3384 which I’m assuming is good for my age. I was 34 with my DD (35 at term) and I think it was 1/7000 or something.

1:35 at 38. Had a CVS 36XX.

I got 1/10,000 at 39.

Hi all, I just wanted to share my experience with you. I had my screening test on the 1st of March, 2 days later I've received a call from the screening results Midwife telling me that my risk for T13 and T18 was 1in 100000 but for T21 it was 1in 16. I felt that my world has come to an end as I wasn't expecting anything like that . This is my 3th pregnancy and I had 2 healthy children before and my risk has been always very very low. But This time it was because of my extremely high bHCG. This was my results:
The dating scan found that I was much ahead than expected 14+1
CRL 83.6
NT 3.1mm MoM 1.59
bHCG 185.0 IU/L MoM 8.69
PAPP-A 7684 mIU/L MoM 1.47
I went the next day to the hospital to meet the Midwife and discuss the options they will give me.
I had to choose between CVS and NIPT. As CVS has 1% of miscarriage and didn't have the courage to go for it so I chose the NIPT instead. I was the longest week of my life. Yesterday I've received a call from the same Midwife telling me that my risk went from 1 in 16 all the way down to 1 in 10000. I can't tell you how relieved I felt, I couldn't believe as my HCG was extremely high, 8 times what it should be!!! I've asked her if I still need to consider Amnio to be 100% sure, she said "I don't really think that you should put your pregnancy at risk, you will kick yourself if something happens to your healthy baby" and I was convinced 😉. Plus if I had 1 in 10000 risk from the NHS screening, I wouldn't even think about taking further tests, and NIPT is muuuuuch accurate than the first screening. I didn't even know the CVS or NIPT or Amnio existed befor last week.

I hope my experience can give some relief to other ladies who have the same screening as mine and are waiting for results.
I wish you all ladies good luck from the bottom of my heart, it's not easy to be a mum. Xx

That’s really low. My first son I had NIPT as mine came back as 1/146 (I was 34). I’m pregnant with my second now and just had the NIPT as standard as I am 38 now. I did not want to go through the stress of getting NHS high risk results again. I had my test at 10 weeks so knew before my 12 week scan everything was fine. Some of the best money I have ever spent to be honest. I would do it over and over.

Just to update mine was 1 in 166 - baby is born healthy xx

@Sixtyorforty congratulations! I am giving birth in 5 and a bit weeks and was 1 in 170 so hope its the same outcome for me but if not that's okay to thanks for the update!

Just wanted to jump on this thread got my result today im 36 and my risk was classed as 1:5031 is this classed as low risk? Im worried as a family member had a baby this year on a 1:32000 chance and the baby had DS
