Downs syndrome test...12 weeks

[Cmus92]

Hi! I'm just looking to hear others experiences if they have had something similar and what the outcome was.

At 12 w 4d I had my NHS 12 week scan where they said everything was normal but the NT (nuchal translucency) was 3.6mm. They said this is higher than average (3.5 and below) so they will check my bloods and get back to me. Today I got a call from the midwife saying my chance of downs syndrome is high 1 in 21and they want me to come in for further tests.

At the weekend I did a private NIPT (results haven't come back yet). I was wondering what the next steps are? Are NHS going to offer another NIPT? I'm worried about miscarriage if I have to have the invasive procedure as I have already had 2 early miscarriages before this baby.

Has anyone been in the same position e.g 1 in 21 chance from bloods and/or taken the invasive procedure (forgot the name) despite having previous miscarriages and been fine?

I've seen threads of others saying they have had the procedures and been fine but there was no mention of them having a history of miscarriages.

Hi @Cmus92 wondering whether you had a follow up with your story if you wouldn’t mind sharing?
im in a similar position having the NT reading at 3.6mm.

Evening. So my results returned 1 in 5 chance of DS. Had a CVS done and baby didn’t have DS or any of the chromosomal abnormalities (Edward’s and Patau were someone like 1 in 360 ish).

Wont worry you with the rest but the NIPT tests aren’t 100% accurate. Only the CVS.

Hi! Mine wasn't a great result in the end. Did the Nipt which came back as high for Downs so had the amniocentesis procedure which confirmed Downs then ended up with a surgical termination.
Best wishes @Southwestmummy89 🤞

@Cmus92 im so so sorry you had to go through all of that. I hope you are recovering and receiving support. I wish you all the best hun xx

@Southwestmummy89 thank you. From what I've experienced it seems totally random, you can have someone with really hard odds and child is fine or someone with low odds/low risk factors and the child isn't. I was trying to figure out if someone had similar numbers to me originally but I've sort of figured out it's nothing we can control unfortunately. I hope it all goes well for you!

@Cmus92 yes from reading stories on here everyone has different levels and risks and the outcomes are so different. I’m guessing your NIPT come back as high risk to?
my Edwards and Pataus came back as low risk, downs is 1:133, so I’ve had my NIPT waiting for results. My beta hcg was 0.5 and PAPPA-A 1.9 not entirely sure what this means but got told hcg was low and PAPPA- A was slightly raised?
It's a mind field.
I hope you are okay though? X

Calm your tits, there's no need to be arsey cause you didn't get an answer - not every comment needs a response. Pipe down and stop being dramatic ffs.

I didn’t need an answer. I was giving advice, for which she didn’t even acknowledge. You know nothing about me and what I have been through so don’t tell me to calm anything. And pipe down! Are we in the playground?

is it that hard to acknowledge someone who despite all they have been through comes online to offer advice, despite how hard it is for them?

how about on you grow up talking to people like that

When I seen your username I should have guessed you were from ‘the hood’

The way you are acting, yes - you are definitely still in the playground. Crying cause you didn't get a response.... give yourself a shake. Maybe OP is overwhelmed, if you read the updates she didn't have a great result. Wind your neck in, no one HAS to acknowledge you, and by your jumped up reaction...its no wonder "it's not the first time you've been ignored on this group. 🎻" 😂

You’re annoyed she didn’t acknowledge you when coming on to update that she had a termination?

You’re confused why she acknowledge your comment about how your results were fine even though her baby was poorly?

Can I just ask…what the fuck is wrong with you? What a fucking batshit response to OP’s very sad update. Sort yourself out.

@loulouhind I’m actually reporting your insane reaction because it’s really not in the spirit of the thread and OP doesn’t need further upset from you.

Far from it actually. But way to go with assumptions, which is ironic considering your Karenesque "You know nothing about me" babble.

Because she already had her outcome so she didn't need advice

Grow up, it's a sensitive post and your being awful.

Thinking of you OP

Glad it wasn't just me that thought it was an insensitive, bratty response.

Hear, hear.

To be fair having read this a lot of people
are jumping on to the comment. Won’t the voice of reason let me say:

@Cas112 when she first responded, she did need advice, which is why two people offered it. The OP decided to ignore @loulouhind’s advice/comment and engage with someone else. Right or wrong it would have been nice to acknowledge them.

@TinyTyrantsSnackb1tch you do come across as a bit of an insensitive soul, telling someone to calm their tits. I have read her posts and she has actually been through quite a lot. So maybe she does seem ‘karenasque’ as you put it, but I can see she has asked for advice recently and had no help. Perhaps she feels let down and is taking her frustrations out in the wrong manner? (Not saying it’s ok btw)

@GavinHendersonsChipPan perhaps insensitive. But having a go and swearing doesn’t make you the better person. I can see she has had a termination and a MMC herself, although it’s not a competition, the majority of people in here, are here for the same reason.

Perhaps this person is struggling with their mental health and came here for support, by commenting is a way of reaching out and every single one of you has berated her, told her to calm her tits and pipe down. Then swearing at her. Perhaps if a single one of you were there when she reached out in her hour of desperation she may not have reacted like that. Instead you are happy to berate and belittle.

you, frankly should be ashamed of yourselves.

and for the record, I sympathise with the OP and the other poster. We all have issues in our lives and I am sure the OP did not need her post hijacked like this and I am sure the other poster didn’t mean to react like that and cause hurt and drama. Yet I am not here to tell anyone to calm their tits or to pipe down. I like to try and understand the reasoning for someone’s behaviour rather than make them feel
bad for it.

Yes but op responded her outcome and they then sent a cranky response which giving the OPs outcome she should have just took it on the chin and not sent a snarky remark

I actually think op was letting both know her outcome she just tagged the other person as they hadn't had there outcome and she was wishing her luck.

Just leave it there. What an awful way for people to jump on a thread

@Cas112 maube you are right, who knows. What I do know is if I came on here, offered some advice and two people just continue a conversation as though I wasn’t there I’d be annoyed too. But I agree that I wouldn’t have commented like that.

looks like you all got your wish though, she is no longer an active user. So instead of trying help this poor woman you have ultimately led to her feeing like she had to close her account. And in turn perhaps lose the one chance of support she may have had.

or she may not care and is getting on with her life lol

i stand by my comments though, this is supposed to be a place of comfort, not one of berating others and telling them to calm their tits. I mean, come on….really?! You are all happy to jump on this poster but not call her out for that reply?

Two wrongs don’t make a right!
