Could anyone help reassure me on these results please?

Second baby, just got our downs/edwards/pataus screening results back and it’s low risk which is great but I am not sure what is the lowest result possible?

I am 36 and the NT measurement was 2mm.

edwards And pataus 1 in 5000
downs 1 in 3800

Papp A 0.7 MOM (I haven’t got a clue what this means)

we have been on the fence about doing NIPT for extra peace of mind as we did it for our first child even though the results were also low risk. But back then we were both working full time with a lot more disposable income, and I’d had 2 miscarriages so we were quite anxious all through the pregnancy.

we were going to do it this time but it’s £350 at our hospital (free if you get a high chance result) and in the end we decided not to do it as we could spend the money on our son/the baby and most people don’t do NIPT.

please could someone help me understand my results? how common is it for people to get a low chance result and then have a child with one of the trisomies?

thank you ❤️

Hi @Peonyyyy I just wondered how your NIPT went? I got very similar HCG and PAPP-A results to you and wondered if you're having a boy or a girl? I haven't found out yet and very keen to! hope all is ok!

Hi @IzzyCat1984 thank you, had NIPT on Tuesday using a clinic called Goodbody because it was only £315 rather than £350 to go through NHS and it tells us the sex which the NHS one doesn’t do.

it’s an interesting way of doing it, I got a kit in the post and they booked an appointment with a local pharmacy. I should get the results at some point this week, hoping for a low risk result and looking forward to finding out the sex.

will report back once I know!

have you booked an NIPT?

Hi everyone, just updating - our NIPT results came back as ‘not detected’ (low chance) for all 3 trisomies, which has really helped our peace of mind.

we also found out we’re having a girl 💘

good luck to anyone waiting on results xx
