What are the further tests advised as per the NT report?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had the NT scan at 11 weeks and 4 days and the NT was 3.3 mm. After that, I got the double marker test done which came back normal, with a risk of 1:624 for T21 and 1:685 for T13 and T18. I was asked to do the NT scan again and at 12 weeks and 2 days, the NT measured 2.8 mm. Also, the fetal heart rate which was 163 BPM at 11 weeks increased to 180 BPM at 12 weeks. I hope the results are normal. I do not want to do the amnio due to its associated risks. Is there anything to worry about?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query. There is nothing to worry about. All the reports are fine and your baby has no anomaly. So, relax and do not worry. You need not go for any further invasive procedures like amniocentesis. Just get your TIFFA (targeted imaging for fetal abnormalities) scan done around 18 to 20 weeks. Continue taking Folic acid, Iron, and Calcium supplements. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care.
