Screening test results?

[Rosemary5]

Ok so I got my test results back last week

Age 21
Crown rump length... 66.3mm
Nt.... 2.10mm
HCG... 2.54 mom
PAPP-A... 0.59 mom

Risk for t21 is 1 in 523
The other one is 1:20000 so not worried.

Although the risk is low for t21 I’m worried it’s high for my age I expected it it be a lot lower. My background risk was 1:1513 then the adjusted risk is 1:523

Any ideas 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your HCG is on the high side, which is what has pushed your risk up. I don't think that alone is cause for concern.

Oh ok I have no idea what it’s suppose to be? Is my Papp-A ok?

Your Papp A is normal. I think anything over 0.5 is considered normal.

I had this with my first pregnancy (ie still low risk but higher than for my age) and midwife said it was my HCG that pushed it up, was the same as you. NT looks in the normal range!

Thank you I wasn’t sure

Did they offer any other tests? I’ve heard higher can mean girl too!

Hey OP, how did you make out? our results were similar <3

It’s the HCG in conjunction with the low Papp A. Mine were both high (HCG was something like 3.3 and Papp A was 1.9) but my screening came out as 1 in 2300. The NT was 2.3 so not super low either. You can have an NIPT if it puts your mind at rest? I was also convinced higher meant girl but it’s a boy 💙 lol.
