High Risk from combined screening NT and Bloods

[Justahopefulmum]

i feel so alone right now.. I had my scan last week and all seemed okay, they actually changed my due date forward to 3 days earlier to what I had worked out.

as I was told I was 12w4days id shared the news with a few people too, then Monday I had a call from the screening team who advised I had a 1:2 DS and 1:50 of E or P. This come as a huge shock as I have a 16 month old with no issues and my results with him where 1:6800 DS and 1:47000 for E or P. I’m absolutely heartbroken as I was also told I have low Papp A 0.3 and my blood work were nearer 2+ rather than near the 1.0 they should be. I was told there was issues with babys growth and this seems conflicting when my due date was changed forward?

I was advised we can have amino for another 2/2.5 weeks which feels cruel to wait in limbo so I’ve opted for NIPT in the interim and if this comes back low risk I think we will pay for a private amino too for additional reassurance.

has anyone else had these odds? What was your decision/ outcomes? I don’t know anyone that’s been given bad results and I’m not wanting to talk to friends so I feel so lost and alone. X

No I've not heard back yet. In the last few days I've just become completely disconnected to it all, the pregnancy, the tests all of it. I went from heartbroken to just nothing. It's probably a coping mechanism or something but I'm just numb & have shut down.

I hope you get the peace you need over the next step.
It's the cruellest position to be in, a choice no mother should have to ever make. Do you have other children?

Ps completely understand about the amnio, I think if mine comes back as high risk I'll just accept the results. Don't think I could go through the waiting again it's torture. Xx

@alotoftutus yes I have a 16month old. I too feel detached but it all comes in waves there’s times of unimaginable pain and times of just numbness.

I think it is so cruel that typically your pregnancy isn’t really acknowledged either until a certain point so although I’m losing my baby at nearly 4 months I’m expected to just carry on as normal in life and work. Have spoken with my doctor now though as it’s all become too overwhelming. X

I really hope you get support @Justahopefulmum
You are so right about being expected to carry on as normal and pregnancies not being acknowledged at this point. To us though they are already very much our babies and their lives very real. I completely get it.

You have decided to TFMR haven't you? (Sorry if this isnt correct I haven't re read the thread. If so have you got a date in place?

Can you take any leave from work? It's so much to get your head around.

I missed "the call" yesterday. I've had my phone glued to me day and night and I went out and didn't hear it. I called back 80 billion times and got voicemail. I now have to wait until Tuesday when they re open to try again. It's been the longest two weeks of my life.

I’ve had high risk for both my combined and NIPT test as well , I’m due to have my amniocentesis tomorrow morning. I’ve researched the NIPT test so much and feel there is just a chance it could be wrong . I’ve been through and going through the same emotions as you coz I feel unbearable pain then I feel totally disconnected like I’m not even pregnant anymore . I wasn’t going to have the amnio but it’s one last chance attempt that everything could be ok I’m also not in denial that it could be positive. It’s really the worst thing I’ve ever had to deal with and this nightmare won’t be over till I get the results so I totally feel your excruciating pain . One last chance of hope tomorrow

I hope you get the result you’re hoping for lovely. Always here if you need an ear x

@Justahopefulmum how you doing lovely?
