Abnormal Nuchal Translucency scan and low fetal fraction

knottie11782bddf9fa5783

Hi guy! I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I had my NT scan last Monday. The fluid behind the baby's neck was measuring at 6.5mm. Which is extremely high! Everything else during the scan was normal. My husband and I met with a genetic counselor Tuesday and did an NIPT test and a bunch of other genetic testing. I received a call from my counselor that there wasn't enough DNA in my blood for the test. I'm redoing the tests next Tuesday. I was also informed I have a small placenta, 36ccs the norm is 40-100ccs. I'm also a type 1 diabetic and my doctor did say that heart defects etc can effect the NT and placenta size. My husband and I were instructed to do a CVS but opted out for now. We want to retest, wait for the results and get an amnio. Also I have a schedule baseline ultrasound September 7th, which will hopefully give us some clarity. If anyone has any light to shed on my situation that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! Just curious of the outcome? I had a high NT of 4.4 at 12 weeks and just got a positive NIPT result and am crushed. I’m hoping you had a positive outcome!
