FTS intermediate risk

I just got a call from KKH genetic counsellor that my FTS results came back as intermediate risk (1 in 340). I will be doing the NIPT test tomorrow, but I don't know how I can get through waiting another 2 weeks for the results. I forgot to ask what caused the higher risk but I will ask tomorrow. My NT measurement is 2.2mm and I am 30 this year. Anyone had the same experience of getting intermediate risk for FTS? I know it's not high risk but I'm still so worried.

Hi, I also intermediate risk after the FTS. 1/971, and NT measurement is 2.4 and I’m 38 this year. I did NIPT on the same day as I have a feeling that I’ll be at least intermediate risk due to my age. I believe feeling worried is normal but it seems that there’s really nth much we can do about it. It is okay to feel worried and you are not alone. Try to focus on things you can do for yourself and your baby at the mean time cause worrying will not be helpful. Wish us all the best (:

thank you so much for the reply :) I spoke to the genetic counsellor before NIPT and she said it was due to the hormone levels that caused the higher risk.. yes I'm trying to not think about this and take care of myself and baby while waiting for the results

i also been through the same thing, the NIPT is 99% accuracy so will be able to bring the risk down. Don’t worry mummy! All be good!
