Low PAPP-A - any experiences or outcomes?

[IVFat40]

Hello everyone, today I received a blood test result back that my PAPP-A is only 0.28 - I believe they ideally like it to be around 1 and anything below 0.4 is flagged as a concern. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, what your outcomes have been and any advice. Also if anyone knows where you can get the blood test re-done privately that would be brilliant. Thank you.

I should also say, I've had the NIPT blood test done too and thankfully baby came back very low risk for downs/edwards/patau's so I'm not too worried about the risk of those, but more worried that apparently low PAPP-A increases the risk of late miscarriage, pre-term birth, low birth weight and pre-eclampsia. I'm currently 13 weeks and 42, this was an IVF FET pregnancy, and I took steroids and progesterone for the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy (not sure if any of those could have impacted the PAPP-A).

I have the same. Currently 21 weeks and have been given extra growth scans in third trimester as a precaution. 20 scan was all normal. Would love to hear low PAPP-A experience from people who have already given birth!

Thank you hun, for me that's already really reassuring to hear you made it past your 20 week scan without any difficulties. I'm really hoping they might offer an extra scan between 12 and 20 as it just seems such a long wait with something like this hanging over us. Congratulations and wishing you all the luck with the next phase.
