What were you Nuchal translucency results?

If you don't mind me asking...

I had my last child at 30 and opted for the test. It came back as very low risk, I think 1-100,000 or something?

So, that was 5 years ago. Apparently my risk is now 1:350.

Can I ask people what their results were and at what age?

At 42, I started at 1:38, but after all the tests were done, it came out at 1:580.

Bluebell20 · 19/02/2016 10:39

I'm 31. Nuchal fold at 12+6 was 1.6mm. NHS combined test came back 1:1163.

I then opted to pay for the Harmony, results were less than 1:10,000.

I was really glad I had the Harmony done. It is expensive but it was worth it to stop me worrying.

My NT measurement was 1.5mm at 12+3 weeks, combined result was 1:950. I'm 35, but classed as high risk due to PCOS, hypothyroidism and higher BMI - not sure if that changes the score any?

I've got my 20wk scan in a few weeks, really nervous about it.

TheDisillusionedAnarchist · 19/02/2016 12:54

NT was 1.5, overall result 1 in 1540 for T21, 1 in 414 for T18 and 1 in 3494 for T13. Aged 34.

Anomalies identified on the 20 week scan. DD had T18. Most cases of T18 and 13 are picked up at the anomaly scan.

CookieKatie · 19/02/2016 13:45

I'm 24 had the blood test and it cam back 1 in 8000

howabout · 19/02/2016 13:51

Not true as pp suggested that combined blood and NT measurement will inevitably be high at age 40+. I don't have mine to hand as was a while ago but at age 43 my combined risk came back as very low.

wiltingfast · 19/02/2016 13:54

At 34 we got a 1 in 250 and ds has an extra X chromosome. Not the worst thing in the world but a v stressful time. The original measurement was 4mm.

Our dd was 1 in 10,000 Smile and had no issues. I was 35 when I had her.

mummytobecabz · 20/02/2016 07:23

Im 25 and got 1 in 100,000

Highlove · 20/02/2016 07:51

Mine were 1 in 400 at 36. At 34 with DD it was 1 in 3,000. So officially this pg is low-risk but I'm not entirely sure whether to leave it at that or have the harmony. Must confess this thread has worried me - I assumed that being over 35 was the tipping point, but that's clearly not the case given others' results.

NT at 12+2 was 1.6 so I'm guessing my blood results must have been a bit worrying? Seeing midwide next week so I'll ask. Would welcome any expert views!

amysmummy12345 · 20/02/2016 07:55

I'm 35, mine was 1:5.... Head CVs, everything seems fine so far xx

amysmummy12345 · 20/02/2016 07:56

P.s nuchal test was 3.7mm

LastOneDancing · 20/02/2016 07:57

34 - 1 in 3,000 (NT 2.3mm)

36 (fatter as well as older) - 1 in 36,000 (NT 1.6mm)

I was v surprised.

Chrisinthemorning · 20/02/2016 08:01

At 33, 1 in 5. CVS showed trisomy 21 and the had a tfmr.
Age 34, 1 in 25000, our rainbow baby.
With the non invasive testing these days which wasn't around 5 years ago, if you are worrying it is much easier to put your mind at ease. Someone will always be the 1 in x, we were just unlucky.

eastpregnant · 20/02/2016 08:22

I'm 30 and mine was 1:2700.

Hilove, I'd give your midwife a call to discuss the results. Maybe worth having the harmony test to put your mind at rest? I think it's expensive though, around £500.

High not hi!

Highlove · 20/02/2016 09:19

Does weight have an impact? I weigh more than I did with DD.

In fact, does anyone have a link to anything that explains in reasonably plain English how the result is calculated?

Highlove · 20/02/2016 09:26

Though I definitely will talk to midwife next week.

Sorry OP - I've blatantly hijacked your thread.

I've been trying to work out how they calculate it too but can't find anything.

I know it's age and weight, not sure what else though.

eastpregnant · 20/02/2016 16:21

highlove my midwife knew very little about how the results were calculated - yours might know more but don't rely just on that.

Is there a phone number on your results letter? Screening is often contracted out to specialist centres (my hospital used the Wolfson Institute, the place that Ave provided links to above - I think they provide screening for quite a lot of NHS hospitals, especially in London).

Their number was on my letter - I phoned them to understand my results and spoke to a specialist midwife who was absolutely brilliant and explained how they'd reached my risk factor in lots of detail.

socktastic · 20/02/2016 22:51

I'm 32 and was 1:100,000

primarynoodle · 21/02/2016 20:56

Nuchal was 3.5mm and odds came back 1:13 (age 22)

Amnio came back clear and everything looks good based on 20 week scan!

Last pregnancy (still aged 22) nt was 5.6mm and odds were 1:5. We had a tfmr as she had other problems too but the postmortem came back as chromosomally normal. Heart defects can cause large nuchals too.

TriJo · 21/02/2016 21:36

31 - 1:43000 for T21.
