So after much deliberation I/we did the NT scan - I am 32 years old. Firstly I was happy as we had the NT measurement come up as 1.7 which is good. But my bloods have which were plonked on my door mat saturday made the final result as 1:240 - I have cried alot - gutted.
bHCG 2.63 MoM
NT 1.7 MoM
PAPP-A 0.52 MoM
I believe it is the bHCG that is high... I think the normal range is below 2.5... all this combined with my age has given me the 1:240.
Now in the UK the cut off for high risk is 1:150... not the case in other countries, some places its 1:250... which would put me high risk.
My Husband was great, spelled out the stats.. my chances are still below 0.5% and I was relieved when he said 'no more tests'. I don't think we are going to take it further....
I do believe that these tests are a bit dodgy with the high rate of getting it wrong. Our folks didnt have them so I am telling myself that they just don't have the years of results to base all of this on.
I am not really sure what I am asking really I think just if anyone else is going through this scare?
I am more just angry now rather than upset and am thinking screw these result and forget about them. I would have liked 1:1000 result though ;)
Thanks for listening xxxxx
