Combined screening in Scotland

[Carrotcake55]

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone's had combined screening following their 12 week scan in Scotland recently and got a result with risk lower than 1:5000 for any of the syndromes?
Or has the system changed and the lowest risk you can get is now 1 in 5000?

Please respond if you had it done recently rather than a few years ago, thanks ☺️

Aberdeen, to be more specific.

Why? Not Scotland, but curious as to why you’re curious.

@Carrotcake55 mines was the same. I think thats the lowest risk you can get.

Thank you for replying ☺️

Up, just in case anyone else got recent experience to share 😌

I’m in Scotland and believe that’s the lowest.

That’s interesting. I wonder what the rationale is there? Although, similarly, in England it seems like now if you get the NIPT through the the NHS, they don’t give you any numbers at all now - just low or high chance.

I’m in Glasgow and midwife told me that here 1 in 5000 is the lowest, but if I lived in Edinburgh for example, that’s not the lowest. So I think it differs between health boards then?

She told me this when she was explaining why results took so long to show on the badger notes app. Said that it didn’t update those results until the next appointment (unless they were whatever they class as high risk then you’d be phoned much more quickly), so there is someone available to explain them to you.

Oh my actually appeared before the midwife appointment. I wonder if Aberdeen is the same as Glasgow then, got a few weeks to wait till my appointment where I'll ask the midwife but I'm thinking it's definitely the case.
