Nuchal Blood Test Result - Confused, scared and feeling alone.

[Frangipani Lou]

Congratulations Reneenay!
I had Cvs last week and I understand the stress and trauma of waiting and not knowing. The 12 week scan and bloods are really are just screening. But omg such a terrifying process to go thru!
We got the all clear for trisomy 13, 18 and 21 and also learnt the gender. Our risk went down with the bloods for downs and up to 1/29 for trisomy 18.
Are they doing the full chromosomal testing too? We have a week or so to wait for the full test. Let me know how you go.

Just read your thread now. We had bloods come back as 1/24 and I decided not to do the amnio. The 16 week ultrasound came back with good nasal bone and soft markers, but a bright white bowel (as bright as bone). Which indicated either down's, cystic or the baby had swallowed blood when I'd had a bleed in first trimester. We did blood testing and saw a genetic counsellor and managed to rule out Cystic. The 20 week scan was pretty good and the bowel wasn't as bright white. I've had the 34 week growth scan and the placenta and blood flow is fine and they're not so concerned about the echogenic bowel. I'm pretty sure it was just the blood that the baby ingested and that's where it sits in the bowel. It doesn't do any harm, but does come up bright white on the scan.
Good luck for the rest of your results and the20 week scan.
