Tell me about your NT scan

august06mom · October 2010

I had one with my first but it was 4 years ago, and I feel like I've forgotten everything from that pregnancy. I'm sure they're all slightly different, but did you receive the result right away? Did you see a doctor to discuss them while you were there?

I had to send in my blood sample last week, and I'll have the u/s next week.

It's no different than a simple ultrasound. My perinatologist came in and told me the results right away after the scan.

I didn't have to send in blood. They did it there.

I met with my Dr. right after the scan, I received the results from the U/S measurements right away. They took my blood and I was called with those results within the same week. GL

We had the scan and blood work done, then met with a genetic counselor who gave us the results of the scan. She called a few days later with the first blood results and we go back on the 25th for the second part of the blood work and to meet with the genetic counselor again.

Since you already did the bloodwork, they should be able to tell you the results right then and there. Hope it goes well!

although i'm followed by a normal OB, a high risk clinic does my nt scan. so, i didn't get thorough results right away. they told me things looked good but then the high risk OB talked the results over with my OB who went over them with me at the next appt.

I went for my blood the week before, so he was able to give me the results while I was there. He did the measurements, told me everything looked good, and to meet him in his office for the official stats which he does on the computer. My risk for Downs was that of a 20 year old (I'm 28), so he said all is good, that nobody's risk is 0.

They took my blood then did an external U/S. They were able to tell me right after the U/S that the measurements all looked good, but I had to wait a few days for the blood results, and then they were able to give me the final "odds."

I was sent to a 3rd party "fetal diagnostic center". The tech told me the result right away. And then also looked up the results of my 1st tri blood draw (from 10 days earlier), and told me those results too.

They were able to confirm that the baby's NT was in the right range, that the nasal bones were developing on target, and that we weren't looking at the swelling and cystic hygromas that doomed our first pregnancy. All body parts were accounted for, and the baby's heart looked awesome. The tech confirmed all of that, and the doctor came in to talk about it with us.

It was really the focus on the nasal bones and NT itself that was different this time around, from other u/s.

Our blood work comes back this week, but the doctor told us he isn't too worried after the ultrasound. I know enough to know that's not really a total guarantee, but it's a major step in the right direction.

I had the blood work and u/s done on the same day. We were told that day that the u/s looked totally normal and I received a call about a week later with the results of the blood work. I go back in a couple of weeks for the second part of the blood work.
