Anyone else waiting for Harmony test results?

I had a scan & blood taken for the Harmony test last night. The consultant was so nice & reassuring. It's been a difficult few days after finding out my baby is in the high risk category for Down's following the combined NHS nuchal test (1:121). I keep trying to remind myself that means it's over 99% going to be fine but there's still that little doubt in my mind. My nuchal measurement was ok (1.8) it was my high hCg (2.5) & low Papp-A (0.5) which increased my risk. I'm age 36 & 14 weeks pregnant today. Now about a week's wait for my results & going to try & keep busy! Just wondered if anyone else is in a similar position?

I'm not in that position now, but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you. When I was pregnant with DD2 (now 9 weeks old), I had a combined screening result of 1:72. We decided to go for a harmony test instead of a CVS or Amniocentesis. Everything was fine, but the wait was horrible.

Thanks for your reply DeliciouslyHella it is such a worry isn't it. I was really shocked when I had the phone call to say I was high risk. So glad to hear all was ok for you in the end. Really hoping the same will happen for me x

I am and unfortunately scan showed a 4mm nuchal translucency so we are worried

They said we might get them tomorrow or if not Monday - how long are you waiting for your's?

FindingNemoandDory sorry to hear you're in the same position. Were your blood test results ok? Wishing you all the best for your results. Mine are due Weds or Thurs so just trying to keep busy. Is this your first baby?

I had an awful weeks wait (my odds were worse and I was 22 weeks when this happened, was very low risk at 12 week scan and then very high at the second scan). It's really horrible and slow and difficult to think about anything else. Attempt to keep busy, socialise with people who don't know so you can't discuss it and are forced to think about other topics for short amounts of time. Don't be hard on yourself if you are tearful, it's so worrying. My results were sent to America and were back within 7 days, less than the 14 days predicted.
Results 1 in 10,000 - so have been happy and relaxed and grateful since the.
Good luck!
