Hi I had my NT scan and bloods today. I am 12 weeks.
Due to my retroverted uterus and an uncooperative baby, they struggled to get clear pictures of the baby and were unable to detect a nasal bone due to its position. The Nt measurement came back at 1.5 and is within range. The bloods also came back with a low Papp-A of 0.5. They gave me a risk of DS of 1:600.
The genetic counsellor said it is likely the low Papp-A is more an indicator of pre-e which I had with my son but it was up to me whether or not I get the harmony test. It will cost me $500 out of pocket as I am not in the US. I asked about them giving me another ultrasound in a week or so to check the nasal bone but she said they wouldn't do that.
Anyway not sure what to think, I'm sure it was just hard for them to get decent images, but surely I should be able to get a quick follow up scan just to check the nasal bone.
Would love to hear some thoughts. Thanks
