Hi,
for reference I am 30 years old and this is my second baby.
I just wanted to make a post because I recently had my 12 week screening results back and was high risk for Down syndrome 1 in 90. this was a massive surprise and shock and it was a really awful time. I opted for the NIPT test on the NHS the following day.
it was the worst week of my life, and consumed every minute of the day. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent on Google and threads looking for similar stories, and while there was a lot, not a lot posted their outcome.
My risk was high due to low Papp-a which is extremely low at 0.15 MoM. (I hadn’t even heard of this before my screening)
My HCG and NT scan were all within the normal range I was told.. didn’t get given exact numbers for this. I have been put on daily aspirin and offered extra growth scans.
My NIPT test has today came back as low risk for all 3 trisomies which I am so relieved about, it took 5 working days from date of blood draw.
In just wanted to share to give some reassurance if you get a high risk screening, I think the low Papp-a really messes with yours results.
sending love to anyone going through similar it’s just awful xx
