Anyone had low Mom PAPP-A and delivered a healthy baby?

Ladies.

I had my results from 13 weeks screening this morning. To be honest they are not looking great Risk of trisomy 21 is 1:67 ( despite the fact that I had my embryos tested prior to the transfer). Nuchal Translucency is 1.8 which is normal. My MoM PAPP A also came back quite low at 0.36

I have done NIPT test this morning to investigate further.

If you have any bad and positive experiences with something similar and are happy to share please let me know as I am slowly losing my mind

Hello, I'm confused on you having your embryos tested and still having the possibility of Trisomy 21. What type of test did you do to the embryos? I had PGD testing, which was like $5,000 out of pocket because insurance won't cover the testing. Either way prayers sent your way for a healthy baby and momma.

I had them PGTA tested and yes, unfortunately testing is very expensive, I had to pay for it as well as I had a private treatment from start to finish… Btw anyone in Europe who wants to have this test done has to pay for it as no insurance would pay for it x I did not expect the result like that either…apparently the risk is minimal if you had embryos tested I thought that there was no possibility whatsoever, we will see. Still waiting for the results x

That's interesting. When I received my results they told me which embryos were good quality and which had issues, so I was able to see which had possibility and which didnt. Keep us posted on your journey. Hope all goes well😀

Yes, it was the same in my case. Report shows you which embryos are ok to transfer and which are not. We transferred embryo with 46 chromosomes, no problems but after 13 weeks blood work I am somehow high risk… Scan shows a perfect baby, nose bone present, NT 1.8mm and everything else in place, the report said that there isn’t anything suggesting an aneuploidity.

My NIPT results meant to be ready last Tue but I got a phone call that the machine that does the test has up to 2% error margin and I was in this 2% so I needed to give blood again and have to wait another week … quite unbelievable! You just could not make this up …

Oh ok, I see. Yeah that's interesting. Hope all goes well and that you have a happy, healthy baby!❤

Hi NuskahopeI am in the same situation. My screening results are low risk at 1 in 424 for downs and 1 in 964 for trisomy 21 but I received a letter at the weekend to say my papp a is low at 0.41. From what i have read it seems a fairly new test and is more common than you think. Some trusts cut off is 0.4 and others 0.5. I have been asked to take aspirin every evening and have extra scans arranged in my 3rd trimester to monitor growth. It is all really scary isn't it but I am going to spk to my midwife on 5th when I see her.

Even though we are low risk, I too have arranged for the NIPT test to be done just to double check everything.

Good luck in the rest of your pregnancy x
