Should I be more aggressive about an NT?

The NP didn't seem too enthused that I even asked about getting one and when I called to inquire about it the person answering the phone was 'blah' about it.My younger brother is MR/DD but we don't know the exact cause. My next appt is the 26th. Should I call and ask again?

    If you want to get the scan done, I would demand it.  If the office that you are seeing refuses start looking for a new DR.  I am seeing a fairly large group associated with a teaching hospital and the NT Scan is considered a routine check-up (unless you want to specifically decline it).

    Good Luck!

    Agreed with PP, and call soon because it can only be done between 11 and 13 (or 14 weeks).

    Agreed.

    If you want it, you should insist.  It's pretty common practice at my Dr's office.

    Stuff like that should be offered by your Dr's office and it should be on a "it's a personal decision" type basis unless there is concern (like there is for you) that maybe the dr should strongly suggest. 

    But they shouldn't ignore you if you ask for it...

    If you want one, you should be able to get one.

    Like PP said, you only have a short window to get it done so you need to be demanding when you speak with your Dr's office. If they still brush you off, I wouldn't hesitate to confront them about the way they are making you feel and I wouldn't hesitate to change offices.

    GL to you!
