So happy to see all the good news from everyone’s scans and twins! So lovely ! I was readmitted to hospital again from Monday and just came out yesterday, luckily all is ok but felt quite weak. Feeling better now though. Nearly the 2nd trimester!

can anyone share with me what their risk results were from NHS 13/18/21 chromosomes were ?

I’m getting really stressed and had to cancel the harmony one as I was in hospital. Pls let me know would appreciate it x

I didn’t get to have the blood test screening, just the NT scan and haven’t had results back yet.

All of yours look to be low though? I think high risk would be anything lower than 1 in 250? Although I’m not entirely sure maybe worth phoning up your midwife to clarify?

I am unsure the ins and outs of all the tests too. We don't get all out in letter or anything we only hear if high risk but I asked consultant as didn't want to keep wondering, I was 1:1495 I think and was told that was excellent and no worry for my age etc.. I agree with @mummybear2 and maybe phone midwife to ask as they would be able to help with it or next time you at at hospital or doctors, take your details with you. Hope you are okay xxx

I did call the midwife and they couldn’t really explain. I a friend of a friend who works in a genetics lab and they went through all with me, she said it’s actually ok. Ideal result is 1:10,000 but the risk factor of age when you’re over 35 will always bring the result right down, and advised that’s where harmony is much more accurate as it only focuses on DNA taken in the blood. But said my result is nothing to worry about and also mentioned I can have the harmony test any where up to birth. My other results for 13/18 were excellent with a risk of 1:11,000 or something. So I will stop panicking now... she also told me the NHS will be moving over to harmony tests maybe next year as it is actually a more cost effective test in the long run as current testing can give lots of false and alarming readings...

That's brilliant you got the answer you needed. I didn't have a clue but midwife said with my blood and scan that I had nothing to worry about so didn't bother looking more into results I knew it wouldn't bethe best result but with age and problems previous I was happy enough to take her advice xxx

 

[MelC2011]

I think your results are perfectly fine @Leila

I had the call today after our screening done at the 12 week scan and I got the result of 1 in 149 which for my area is classed as high risk.

We’ve already had the Harmony test done (did it backwards) as knew I’d be high risk, which obviously has comeback as perfectly fine with a 1 in 1,000,000.

Please try not to worry.
Why were you in hospital? Hope you’re ok? xx

Yes I will still think about the harmony test but need to get my strength back first. Glad your harmony result was good . I think will be much better once the NHS swap over to that method of testing it makes much more sense.

I have been unable to eat, completely lost my appetite, when I do eat I get really terrible acid reflux and it caused quite a lot of pain, as I wasn’t eating much I had Keytones in my urine so I had to be put on IV fluids and given anti acid medication. Which doesn’t seem to work when taken orally. Just hope it goes away as it’s very uncomfortable. And it’s not a pregnancy symptom it is because I caught a bug over Christmas .... : | - that is taking longer heal due to pregnancy ... so hopefully all is better now
