    Question How long did your NT screen results take?

    Just wondering how long your NT screen results took to come back? The bloods part, I had my scan and bloods done the same day. If I'd known you could have the bloods up to a week before I would have taken that option, so now I'm just waiting waiting...

    Mine took almost 2 weeks. it was so frustrating, but I was in the US and they were not quite as preoccupied with the NT scan as they do another blood grouping test at 15 weeks that screens a much larger range of conditions, so they thought i was a bit strange opting for the NT

    hopefully yours will come in a week (as most BTs do)....

    Thanks Cassius. My doctor said she thought she'd have them by Tuesday, I only had the scan and bloods on Friday and Monday was a public holiday so I thought that would be too fast. I'll wait a bit more before I start calling then A bit more anxious with this one for some reason, well, maybe because I'm older again

    Usually they will call if they need to discuss them with you. My blood results usually take about 3 days so yeah with Monday being a public holiday they might be in tomorrow? Ive been told you can do the NT bloods from 10wks onwards.

    Mine were done on a Monday and were ready when my scan was done Thursday so only a couple of days. Hope you dont have to wait long

    mate. It's hard isn't it.

    I've had ones done immediately and DD2's took a fortnight. But I live in the middle of nowhere.

    Hope they surprise you today with a great result.

    Thanks everyone I still haven't heard and she said she'd call when they were in. I might give them a ring this afternoon if I don't think I can wait over the weekend. Really I should be patient I suppose and trust that she'll call when they're there
