Low pappa? Please help,

[TWINKLES80]

Hi Ladies:

Do any of you know why then range I for 12 week pappa results? Pappa results were 1.38 and they said it was low?

Thank you!

:/ those papp-a results are high :/

I have a low papp-a at 0.23

I was told that the closer to 1 the better and anything under 0.24 was considered low

Thanks wriggley I'm utterly confused. I'm looking at my results right now it says 1.38 mom for Papp-a, and doc says it was low, I'm wondering if they misread it?
I guess I'll have to wait till next week for clarification!

Do you recall what your hcg was at 12 week?

 

[Wriggley]

Ill check my notes tonight for you to give you exact results but they were also considered low

 

[Wriggley]

To add: just checked my notes my hcg beta was 0.35 which is boarderline low THT x

Hi Wrigg:

No, it's normal 1.38. I'm hoping and praying this remains a healthy one. I'm just in awe with doctors sometimes. Wow! I knew my paranoia would help in some shape or form

For now it's a normal pregnancy, but waiting for my glucose test results .. how are you doing? this is number two right?

 

[TWINKLES80]

Just hope each and everyone of you check to make sure the diagnosis given to you is actually correct. I feel confident about my doctors, but they mistakes too.

I was told I had low Papp a results and was susceptible to placenta dysfunction and low baby weight. I was beyond worried and stressed for the whole weekend!

I used to research for a living and knew the number provided did not coincide with the diagnosis. And I was right! When I called the doctors office they said oops must have been a typo. I was floored. I'm thankful this wasn't a really bad diagnosis, or that I started treatment of any sort.

Just my .$02.

Hugs!

I was also told low papp a. I wish they were wrong about mine but I'm thinking probably not. I go to see the dr tomorrow so I can ask questions. I have never been so worried in my life!! Doc didn't seem too concerned on the phone though!
