NT scan results

[kittykat7210]

So I had my NT scan and blood test on the 7th of February, and have yet to receive my letter, I know that no news is supposed to be good news but I would still like my letter with my exact risk on it. I see my midwife in a couple of days, should I wait and mention it to her or ring up the hospital and ask?

I am in the US, so it may be different here. But I had to proactively call to get my results for the blood (which was a week before scan) and the doctor that did the scan told me instantly what my results were. I would call and get the results since it has been a while since you went in for the appointment.

It's the same here in Denmark, they send you a letter which you get within 1 week if the risk is low and call the day after the scan if it's high. But since you didn't get the letter within 1 week and such a long time has passed, I'd call the hospital and tell them that you have yet to receive the letter.

I'd ring them up, that's quite a while to be waiting! I got a phone call the same day but that was because my blood results came back with discrepancies so that put me at high risk for downs. I had to choose what to do, so I opted for the harmony test, which my local hospital offer, which came back low risk, 1:10,000. Xx

I would ring. Like you say, no news is good news and I'm sure they would have contacted you if there was something to worry about but it's good to know! I got mine less than a week after my scan so you definitely should have heard by now.

You've just reminded me I haven't had mine either! Mine was done 6th Feb. I think I'm going to call, they told me 3-5 days via phone call if high risk or a letter through the post within 2 weeks. X

Eta: sorry it's the quad blood test I had at 14 weeks, but same sort of thing!

just called and they said they sent out a letter but it must have got lost or something, but anyway my results are down syndrome is 1/18939 and my risk of trisomy 13+18 is 1/100000 is that good or bad? I never know what they all mean XD

Brilliant results

Yep you are very low risk there! That's great!

Yep those are really great results! If we look at your trisomy risk, then you can think of it this way: if there are 100,000 women in a room who are exactly the same age as you and have the same results, one of them is carrying a child affected with trisomy, and the other 99,999 are carrying normal children

Those results are really low risk. My Down's syndrome was 1/5000 and the other the same as yours 1/100000. My midwife said both were really low. So yours is even more so!
