Results from downs screening

[Prettylittlelady]

How long did you have to wait for you’re to come through? It’s been more than 10 days since my scan which was done at 12+5 I’m
assuming they would have phoned if there was something that needed further testing? The NT measurement was 1.4mm but I would still like to find out the calculated risk.

I received mine about 5 days later. They only call if you are considered high risk, otherwise they should post your results if low risk.

Perhaps with everything going on with COVID, there is a delay somewhere. Perhaps call the hospital or your midwife to chase it up.

I did think that there might have been a delay because of the virus and the the bank holidays as well, I think I’ll wait until Monday and if it’s not here I’ll give the hospital a call.

Mine told me it could take up to 2 weeks to get the letter but that they'd call within a week if the chances were high. I'm 25 weeks now so this was pre covid. I was expecting the letter to come quite quickly (and that 2 weeks was a worst case they say to stop people chasing) but it was actually almost 2 weeks.

Sound positive though - 1.4 measurement is good and nobody has called

Its good news that they haven't called you.
I was told I'd get a phone call within 5 days if I was high risk, otherwise I'd get a letter within 2 weeks.

Mine took just short of 3 weeks to come, but they did say if it's high risk they'd phone within a few days!

The labs that are completing the tests are likely the same labs doing COVID testing.

I received my call within the same week of having the scan and blood test I came back high risk and the very next day was booked in for a harmony test, I'm sure you would have heard your prob low risk and waiting for the letter with the results the post is delayed and bank holiday won't have helped

I got mine 5 or 6 days later by mail

Thank you all for your responses - the letter came today 1 in 10,000 for all conditions so very pleased with that.
