Low PAPP-A and 1/92 chance of Down’s syndrome
Hi everyone,
I had my blood test after the NHS 12 week scan on Monday, and just had a call from the screening midwife to say the blood test results show a 1/91 chance of baby having Down syndrome which is considered high.
I also have low PAPP-A (0.24 MoM) which I understand may be the main cause for the higher Down’s syndrome result.
I had the NIPT today so now a weeks waiting game.
Can anyone please share their experiences with a similar result?
Thanks in advance

You may have had your results by now but if not please try not yo panic. If you look at 1/91 as a percentage its very low. We were told 1/14 chance of Edwards or Patau and I had a similar papp-a level to yours. Baby is now 8 months and a happy, healthy little boy

Losing my mind
Today I am 7dpo, we've been trying all year with 1 early loss and this week I've just been certain I'd conceived, did a random test this morning with the thought "well if today is negative I'll definitely get a positive soon" but I am convinced there's the faintest little shadow on this damn test! It's so hard to see both in person and on camera but if I zoom in and tilt my phone I can almost see what it looks like in real life. My sensible brain is telling me that 7dpo is borderline impossible for a positive but I've had horrible cramps for 2 days, my shy cat won't leave me alone, and I've got a cold which is all stuff we noticed with my last pregnancy before the positive test 😂 I'm quite certain of my ovulation as I only get 1 day of obvious fertile mucus, so at most I could be 8dpo if not 7. I've got some more sensitive tests so I'm currently holding my pee but I'll attach the photo of what I saw this morning, please try and see the shadow! Also to add I would never usually take a test this early, I just had a feeling!

My husband and I have decided to have a 2nd child. Our first is almost 2. How was the transition? My husband travels for work. I need all the advice.

Officially diagnosed
My heart hurts so so bad. Me and my partner have had 2 losses this year and now I find out I have PCOS. My ovaries were filled with cyst on the ultrasound today. My heart just felt like it was crumbling. We want a baby so bad. We have been officially trying 3 cycles now, yet we weren’t being safe for over year now at this point. I do have high testosterone. I am truly so worried about all the requirements I’m hearing now that have to change just to manage my chronic condition. I do have endo stage 4 as well. I have 3 children and it took me awhile to conceive them as well. I just want a chance at a redemptive story around my pregnancy/birthing past. 🥲
