And i am so nervous, everytime the phone ring's i jumpm and run to it.

They told me if i dont hear my tuesday i can relax, that seams like such a long time.

Does anyone know if the results where bad when you hear?

hi there,

you haven't given much info about your situation but if it's just a standard 12 week scan they will only contact you within a few days if there are any problems i.e. your blood test or scan show a high chance of downs syndrome etc. So if you don't hear then it's good news. I had my scan a few weeks ago and haven't heard, and still haven't had my nuchal scan results but am assuming they're ok as I haven't heard anything. Try not to worry, I'm sure it'll be fine!

Hi xKatyX,

I had my 12 dating scan this morning and was told I am 12+6. I had the nuchal scan thing too and mine was exactly the same as yours - 1.6mm! I'm sure I have read that this is at the lower end of the scale so I am working on the basis that it is likely to be low risk. I had bloods taken and was told I would hear within a week if I was high risk, otherwise I would receive a letter in 2-3 weeks.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

Actually that is very quick. It took me over 2 weeks to get my results and they were by post not phone so you are very fortunate.

Don't panic when it will probably all be fine. You haven't given much info on your situation but just relax - you have got less than a week to wait!

Hi - I had my nuchal scan yesterday and asked to be told the measurement as she was doing it - which was 1.3mm. She said that it needs to be under 3.5mm. Like you I'm now praying that the phone doesn't ring. They said they phone within a few days. If all is good with the bloods then I just get a letter in the post. Fingers crossed we're both fine

When I had a positive screen they called me less than 24 hours later- they don't mess around.

Hey everyone i got a letter first thing this morning and im low risk, cant believe how quick that was i only had it done yesterday.

I got a private phone call this morning early and i swear i nearly threw up, it was some stupid marketing thing.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting its nerv wrecking.

Hi xkatyx glad to hear it came back all clear. That was super quick. My letter came through yesterday after about 2 weeks and it just said 'low risk' I think my result was 1.2mm if i remember on the scan but she didn't tell me that i just saw it on the screen. It's a relief to know isn't it!
