Nuchal test at 12 week scan

Does anyone know when you're supposed to get the test results back after your 12 week scan?

I've not heard back since mine and understand its a busy time so that might be why - it's been a week and a half?

Will it be a letter?

Basically, if it's been that long your result is low-risk. If it comes back as higher risk they call you within 1-3 working days. The lower risk ones get letters in 7-10 working days, IIRC.

In our trust we usually advise that a low chance result will take a couple of weeks to arrive via a letter but an increased chance result is a phone call within a week so hopefully your trust is similar and no news is good news

As far as I remember it was there and then. The tech did the measurements during the scan. I was in my 40s and we had already discussed whether we would have further tests if there was a higher risk. It was some time ago now but I don't remember having to wait for results the two times I had it done.

Same as MadameJosephine we were told we would get a phone call for increased risk results and a letter within around two weeks for low risk results. So maybe give it a few more working days. Good luck!
