Yeh its a bit complicated. The hospital I am going to does not do the 12 weeks scan, so I had to go to a different hospital for that one.
My GP does shared care obstetrics, but Im not seeing him for my pg care, so he can discuss it with me, but i still need to take them with me elsewhere. I might just give them a call, I had the scan last Friday, and see if they have the results or not.
I had my scan on a saturday, recieved my results from the measurement straight away. Straight after my scan, I went downstairs to have the blood test. They sent me a letter in the mail with my results. I got the letter on the tuesday or wednesday after the scan, so only a few days.
rayray - GP told me to have the bloods on the day of referral (10w1d) cos it could take a couple of weeks to get the info back depending on how busy it is. he then said to have scan at 12weeks ish and results should be available within days...
It happened for me as for briggsy's girl. I had the blood test around ten weeks and didn't hear anything, then went for the u/s at 12 weeks and they combined results and told us there and then.
When I went to see my OB next he confirmed what we'd already been told. I didn't have to get copies as they asked me when I had the blood test where I was going for the u/s and sent the results straight to them. Maybe it's different in each state?
ok. I got my u/s results yesterday, but they are only based on the u/s and background risk, they have not been combined with the blood test results. This is ridiculous, i rang but noone seems to be able to tell me where i can get this information
that seems really strange rayray - sorry to hear you're having such extra & unnecessary stress
i have my u/s on 19 dec. as i understand it, if i have been to the hospital by then i can use them to get the BT & they will submit the results to the central place (if i haven't been to the hospital my GP is going to give me a referral). i then go to the u/s place (which is diff from the hosp) & when i booked the appt yesterday they explained that after they do the u/s they fax the results to the central place that has the B/T results & then they can usually provide a result within an hour.
i believe the results also get sent to my GP. did you try gribbles to see if they submitted the BT results? or did you get the flyer from your GP (mine was pink, A5 size, 4 pages) that tells you about the combined test & gives a central phone number? that's if you're in vic. i'd look at mine but i took it out of my bag this morning
Hi, Yep I am in Melbourne.
I will ring again today and see whether I can get on to my GP about finding out what this central number is to ring - no one told me about it.
