12 week scan and blood tests unable to tell me if im high risk or not
hi im 13 weeks pregnant and i had my 12 week scan with blood testing on tue, i received a phone call from the hospital telling me my hormone levels were very high yet they can't tell me if im at high risk or not as both my blood test's and scan results together they don't know !!
i have been asked to go back for more test's and a scan with the top doctor next week, i am very worried as they told me very rare does a case like mine occur.
allsort's of worst case Scenario's are going through my head at the moument,
has anyone else been throught this also???

I wouldn't panic just yet...easier said than done I know!! You've just got to think that if they cannot give you a deffinate answer it's on their head be it....what I mean is if your bloodwork came back inconclusive they don't want to tell you your low risk incase your not, and they don't want to tell you you are high risk if you are infact low risk and they just can't judge it. They need to have enough evidence to give you a proper risk calculation, hence why they are having you back. Doc's told my mum I was down syndrome...all be it 18years ago, but I am not...I was born a healthy baby, they don't always get it right. So try to remain calm, best of luck and keep us updated x
I'm not so sure.. My friend was almost halfway through her pregnancy when she found out she was having twins.... Twin B was hiding behind twin A....
thank you Abbskiie, that has helped me a bit, i will deffo keep you posted on what happen's on 5th nov x
no im not carrying multiples, only 1 baby in there unless they missed another at 12 weeks? which is very very doubtfull
Just because your scan came back and hormone level's came back high does mean your high risk.... The only reason your HCG level's would be highly elevated would be if your carrying multiples.
no my previous pregnacy's have been fine, blood test and my 12 week scan to check for down syndrome or any problem's came back today and hospital cant tell me my percentage of high risk or not, 1 of my hormone's very high.
i had scan tue and was only 1 baby. but top doctor is seeing me next week to check me out and see what he thinks.
sorry im just very worried and probably making no sense at mo .

What is it that they're thinking would make you high risk? Have you had previous complications in pregnancy or history of health problems?
im sorry im not understanding....A blood test doesnt tell you if your High risk.....Your Hormone levels are higher then normal right?? and an U/s ruled out a twin pregnancy, im guessing??
