Results of NT scan/bloods- How soon?

[jenjams]

I have my NT scan on Monday, have already done the blood test. Does anyone know how long it takes for the results to come through? I am not overly anxious but it is both my parents birthdays a week or so after the NT scan and I would like to give them the good news as part of their present... and we havent told any family yet. We were waiting until after the NT scan.
I cant remember how long it was with DD. Its not that long is it?

I had my bloods taken last Thurs as I had forgot all about them, & then my scan the next morn at 9am.........the lady from the scan rang me a few hrs later to say all good. They can tell you at the scan how the results are & then check bloods & give you better result so I would say fairly soon if your bloods have already been taken.

Hi Jen

My Ob is trained to do the NT Scan - so he gave me the nuchal measurements whilst still scanning bubs. The blood test he said would take a week - and it did, plus a day! I think a week would be about average for blood/combined results. Having said that I live in Hobart, and the blood tests needed to be done in Melbourne - so, depending where you are, it might be quicker. Waiting is a pain, but I just put it in the back of my mind (sort of), knowing that I'd had a good scan.

Good luck - I'm sure you'll be reporting good news to ma and pa

i just watched while she did the scan and saw the measurements with my own eyes, so knew from there there was nothing to worry about... a measurement of 2.5-3 is a concern... normal is anywhere around 1 i believe.

I do remember from the scan with DD that the results were a bit above the normal range and I hadnt had the bloods taken so it was a mad panic for awhile there.
I am actually trying to work out when to get my docs appointment so I can get the results of the combined results. I am thinking the Thursday seeing my scan is Monday but it may be too soon... I am in melbourne.

oh Lee another little bundle coming your way. Hooray! How is Remy going?

If you get a bad result your OB will be on the phone within 24 hours.... well both mine were.

When i had my bloods were 10 days before scan, i had scan and then 1 hr later my OB appt and by appt he had the results allready. When receptionist booked my scan she made appt for 1 hr later for that reason so it saves people travelling for 2 appts.

Good luck
