Question 1

Doctor, in my double marker test report, my beta hCG level is 11 ng/mL. I showed the report to my personal doctor, and he said everything is normal, explaining that there is a difference between beta hCG and total hCG levels. However, I am still worried about my beta hCG count. Could you please clarify if this level is normal and if I should be concerned?

Question 2

Hi Doctor, we are expecting our first child in September. Currently my wife is 17 weeks pregnant. We have done our first trimester screening in February. The findings of the reports are CRL 70 mm, BPD 21 mm, HC 78 mm, AC 68 mm, FL 10 mm, FHR 161 bpm, NT 0.9 mm, nasal bone 1.6 mm. Double marker test report is PAPPa 2.20 MoM, fb hCG 3.53 MoM, age risk 1:441, biochemical T21 risk 1:413, combined trisomy 21 risk 1:2053, trisomy 13/18 plus NT less than 1:10000. Is everything normal? Or is there anything to worry? Please help and guide. Thanks in advance.

Question 3

I have done a double marker test for my wife, who is currently 13 weeks pregnant. Here are the results
Free Beta HCG is 47.8 ng/mL
Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPPA) is 9.26 mIU/mL
Multiple of Median (Fetus 1)
Free Beta HCG MOM is 0.96
PAPP A MOM is 2.04
NT MOM is 0.7
Please let me know if these results are normal.

I am 14 weeks pregnant. I had a double marker test at 13 weeks and 3 days. My free beta HCG level is 28.4 ng/ml and PAPP is 12.8 mIU/ml. Are these levels normal? Please tell me.

Your double marker test values seem high and unusual typically, values are in MoM (multiples of median), not ng/ml. Please confirm units and get report reviewed. If values are truly elevated, follow up with NT scan and possibly Quad marker test for confirmation.
