Hi,

Last week i had my Nuchal Translucency Scan. The ultrasound showed that the skin fold was within normal limits. Results were as follows:

NT: 1.5
freeBhcg: 1.22 MoM
PAPP-A: 0.25 MoM

The risk for me of Downs Syndrome was 1:153. Yesterday I had CVS and will get the results back today or tomorrow.

My question is: Has anyone had a positive pregnancy outcome after having low PAPP-A scores?

This is an IVF pregnancy, which I have been told, increases the likelihood of having low PAPP-A scores.

I have read a bit about those without chromosomal abnormalities, such as Downs Syndrome, that still have problems throughout the pregnancy with poor fetal growth, and premature birth.

I would really love to hear from anyone who has low PAPP-A and how their pregnancy progressed.

Thanks very much,
