Hi everyone.
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It is an IVF pregnancy and it’s a PGT normal embryo that we transferred. Despite having a normal embryo we opted for combined screening. My results have come back low risk for my age - 1:260 and I’m aged 40. My NT was 1.9mm (mom = 1) my PappA was 1.54MOM but my HCG was high at 3MOM.
The screening nurses have said it’s likely raised due to IVF treatment and progesterone supplementation, but I can’t help but panic a bit. NIPT seems a bit extreme when I’ve had a normal PGT embryo and a low risk combined result, but wondering if anyone has any experience? Is the HCG in itself worrying? Are some people’s levels just higher?
Feel free to tell me if you think I’m being neurotic….pregnancy and IVF have definitely made me more anxious.
Any advice, stories welcome! Xx
