When did you get your screening results?

Hi everyone,
I had my 12 week scan last Tuesday and all was well inc NT reading of 1.9mm which I understand to be normal. I opted to have the blood test screening for chromosome abnormalities as well. They said you wouldn’t hear if your risk was low but if it was high you’d get a call within a week from the test. Today I got a random call from a mobile that rang for a second then hung up. I was worried it was the fetal medical midwives calling to tell me my results were bad. I tried to call back but they didn’t pick up. They’ve not left a voicemail.
Am I just being absurdly anxious? Would they call and not leave a message if it was bad news? And has anyone ever had a normal NT reading but gone on to have a high risk screening? I’m 30 and this is my first baby to make it to 2nd trimester after MC last year.

They would leave a voicemail for you asking you to ring them and you would probably be asked to go in within a couple of days. The midwives at the hospital called me once and when I rang the number back it said 'you have been called by xxxx hospital' they also left me a voicemail with contact details.

With my son I got a letter probably a week or two after the blood test which confirmed low risk and gave a 'risk' which was something like 1 in 100,000 chance

I had this! A weird call. My letter came through 2 weeks later saying I was low risk, but that my pepp a hormone was low. It said they'd tried to call me so I assume that's what it was. The low hormone isn't a big issue so that's maybe why they didn't try very hard or leave a voicemail.
Try not to worry!

My low risk results were just uploaded to the Badger app without any notification - do you have that? When I logged in after a few days they were just on there. If it’s higher risk they have to call though.

Thanks @Merryclaire I don’t think we use badger in my trust annoyingly!
