I am 14w 3d today and I received my blood results from my 12 week appointment, they have come back high risk of downs edwards' and Pataus' it also showed Low PAPP-A.
My scan seemed fine baby was measuring 12w5d NT 1.6mm
I am 27 years old and first baby.
3 previous MMC
.

Down syndrome 1 in 93

Edwards and Pataus 1 in 28

Papp-A 0.11

I am literally going out of my mind googling at reading different things and nothing seems positive.
I've got to go back this Friday for NIPT testing. Has anyone else gone through this ?

Don’t want to damper your good news, but just remember you have very very low Papp-a of 0.11. I think you’ve said they gave you aspirin, but you’ve also started it later than recommended (best at 12 weeks).

hope you also got extra scans to check for growth, if not go back to them. I got after the usual 20 week scan more at 30 and 34. And will get more later, last time, it was also 36, 38 and 40. This time I will also get clexane too (replacing aspirin) from 28 weeks.

Yes I'm having extra growth scans and I'm consultant led, I started the aspirin at 14 weeks
