So sorry to hear what you are going through, must be horrendous waiting. The community midwife who looked after me when I was expecting my son- her sister in law had a Downs risk of 1 in 4 and everything turned out ok. I know it must be very hard to keep positive, but even at 1 in 5, the odds are still good on the baby being fine, plus you have other good signs. Sometimes, all these tests, scans etc worry people needlessly. It's disgusting the lab haven't informed you if there is a problem with the sample - I would chase them up and maybe speak to someone else...

Hi khegidio in the UK we are offered the early results but i believe most hospitals charge for this. My hospital, for example, charges £175 which is about $262 dollars i think. My partner and I cannot afford this so we are going to have a 3 week wait for the full results - more worry! Thanks for the positive thoughts. Congrats on your results.

kessutripp i hope you get your results soon. I'll be thinking of you x

Sorry to hear that. I don't blame you.... If I had to pay extra for the early results then we would be waiting too. Times are tough these days!!!

3 weeks will be over before you know it! Hang in there. All will be well. Just keep thinking positive thoughts for you and baby!!

How awful, that people should be disadvantaged through not paying in the NHS...

to kessutripp and everyone. My experience was years ago, but I know what you are going through. I wish I could do something to take the pain away.

I had an amnio done at 16wks and I had to wait 12days untill I received the results so I know how hard it is.

I hope it all comes back ok for you and I know by experience that nothing will take the worry away untill you get the results.

Take care I hope you get the results soon.

Ive had 3 cvs due to husband being a carrier of patau syndrome or trisomy 13. The first with my daughter 4 years ago and rresults were back the next day as all clear! The next was with this one in oct and when they took the needle out they said straight away that there was not enough Villi taken and i had to have another one there and then so 2 in one day! So doubling all the risks. All cam back clear but the results took 8 days this time and because they were so quick before the wait felt awful. All was clear even though for every pregnancy we have a high chance of the baby having it. Good luck and try not to worry.

Sorry, only just seen this thread ...

I had a DS risk of 1 in 5 too, and that was the one of the highest seen round here! But we made a conscious decision not to have any invasive testing carried out, as we wanted our baby regardless. We inverted the statistic to say that there was an 80% chance of our baby not having DS.

Andrew was born extremely premature due to placental bloodflow problems and spent 11 weeks on NICU - but it was confirmed early on that he did not have DS or any similar genetic problems

So there you go - a positive story!

Thank you everyone for your words and experience and just for being there when I had nowhere else to go and noone elso to talk to.
My results came back today and all is as good as possible - my little GIRL has no down no other syndrome. The heart conditions need a re-check later, but it's not letal as much as I understand.

It ONLY took 24 days of the most horrible wait...
