Waiting for Quad bloods to come back. Wait with me. 😓

[EdgeOfGlory266]

I had my quad bloods done on the 14th and I am on edge waiting.
They told me if the down syndrome risk is high they will call and if not send a letter.
I don't know if this is just confined to my area or everywhere has online notes now, but I am fortunate enough to have access to the results. They're still showing as pending. I know it's been the weekend but I feel like I've been waiting forever. I can't stop refreshing my notes.
I know that if the risks come back high then we will deal with whatever is thrown our way. If there's is a quality of life to be had then that is what will happen. But I still feel nervous and want to know one way or another.
Sorry for the ramble. Just looking for a hand hold and some stranger support. Haha

I was just told the results could take up to two weeks and they'd be in touch. So I was entirely floored when I had a call 6 days later to say my results were crap. (1 in 34 for downs).

Though in hindsight I'm almost glad I wasn't waiting on results as I'd forgotten about it and had a normal week before then having an awful one.

Everything was fine in the end, a CVS showed no abnormalities.

So even if your risks look bad that's no guarantee anything is actually wrong. Chin up!

The waiting must be horrible. I hope you have someone to hold your hand in real life and hopefully someone with experience might be along with some words of reassurance. But have some

Ah well done nina!

Thanks you beauts. My husband is super supportive. My hormones leave a lot to be desired. Sometimes writing what you're feeling down just helps. Even if it is to people you don't know.

Hi OP,
I think these babies are designed to fray our nerves from the moment they're conceived!
I can offer no advice to hurry along your results but I understand how frustrating it is.
I was freaked out when my quad results arrived by letter within 4 days, saying risk was low (less than 1 in 10000) after the midwife had said to me that they contact the highest risk soonest.
Good luck and hopefully not long to wait.

Thank you very much. I'm going on holiday on Saturday so worried that I will miss the post, however I'm assuming that if it takes that long and it's by post then things are all ok.
My mum will be feeding the cat so I can get her to check for me. I know I have plenty of time but I just want to be able to get my head around anything before trying to explain things to my son.
I mean I know the chances are low. I'm 27, so still young, so I know that helps my chances. But I can't help it. It doesn't help that I am the most impatient person in the world!
