Triple Screening Blood Test and Downs Syndrome and Facebook
Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well. I????m now 16 weeks and 1 day. Hopefully have another scan on 28th- last one was on 24th July and it feels so long ago- just want to see if everything is ok.
My Gyne doctor ordered a triple screening blood test to go along with the Nuchal T. measruements to see what the risk of Downs and other Chromosomal defects will be. Had the blood test a week and a half after the scan measurements were done and now there seems to be a problem with dates. The analysis people want to know the exact dates even tho I have given them everything I have. It????s now been 3 weeks since the blood test- I should have got the results last week and was told that they will be longer but they don????t know when they will be ready.
I read that the results of the serum (Triple Screening Blood) aren????t very reliable with twins because the hormone levels are much higher anyway.
Has anyone else had this test? I know my twins are ID, same placenta, separate sacs. There are 4 sets in my family already (2 on my dads and 2 on my mums). I????m just worried about these test results- I am meant to take them back to my Gyne next Thursday but I don????t have them- I????m keeeping the appointment tho, with the hope of having a scan.
I????d be really greatful for any advice.
PS- I????ve put some photos on Facebook- I????m CARLY SAMANTHA BOYNTON.
