I find it useful to know what other people's scores are. I'm a 4.2 and it seems there are folks with higher scores who are on a yearly schedule to be checked. I guess 5 is the magic number we don't want to reach. But I still worry that even with 4.2 I'm still at risk for something catastrophic. Every twinge causes at least a bit of alarm. Keep sharing. It helps.

Pamela, what I found in my journey is that 5cm is the protocol for surgery.
Between 4.5 and 5cm is a mind game, it depends on the family history , your body surface, rate of growth, genetic factor, BAV, your personal preference for time of surgery. In this range you definitely want a 6 months follow up .
I went from a 3.9 cm to 4.3 in 10 years . Then suddenly from 4.3 to 4.5cm in one year...
