Just as the title says really! How long did you wait for combined screening results? For the 12 week screening for Down's syndrome, edwards and pateaus. I'm just curious! I had mine done Friday and I'm just wondering how long others took!

About 90 minutes. Our trust sends you away for a coffee then you get your initial results when you one back.

In my case the combined screening had me at a risk of >1:500 which qualified me to have Harmony for free. Bloods taken for Harmony there and then and was told up to 7 working days for that to come back but was only 4 both times.

Had mine done on 24th and still waiting! I think they say they should arrive within 3 weeks? And sounds like lots of places call you earlier than that if there's any issues

About a week for mine

10 days for a letter in the post with low risk results. I was told that high risk would get a phone call within 2 days

1st baby done same day
2nd baby 3 weeks

Did you ask how long it might take? I was told today ours would take a week and if anything of concern I would get a phone call sooner

I was told that if it was high risk, I’d get a call within 2 weeks but if was low risk, I’d just be told at my 16 week midwife appointment

@DappledThings can I ask where does the harmony test for free? I had to pay £500 for mine, initial result from combined screening was 1 in 74.

FrangipanFlower · 12/10/2021 17:52

I got a call within a couple of days of my scan and bloods as I had a high risk of Downs Syndrome caused mainly by my age (40).

rainbow221 · 12/10/2021 17:55

Thanks everyone! No one really told me how long so I was just wondering. Hopefully get mine back soon!

I got my results by phone after 5 days. I was high risk for DS (age related) @FrangipanFlower the NHS has been offering NIPT (of which I think Harmony is a brand name) since June - I'm NW England but i was told it's offered everywhere

I was at King's and this was 4 and 6 years ago.

With mine they said they would call if an issue in a few days otherwise you get results at 16wk mw appointment

Soph202230 · 01/10/2024 13:43

Waiting for mine very anxiously. They said if high chance phone call with in a week or 5 days from 30th September. Low chance I will get back in the post in two weeks or more. So just remember no news is good news in this particular moment ❤️
