13w2d for NT scan? Does that seem late?

NickyCicc20 · March 2011

Mine isn't scheduled until Apr 12, I'll be 13w2d...anyone else's that late? I feel like I don't have much wiggle room...

That's exactly how far along I will be on Monday when we go for our scan. Our doctor told us they prefer to do these scans between 12-14 weeks.

I'll be 12w6d when I get mine. You're ok as long as it is before 14 weeks. Did you have a dating sono to confirm your dates?

DreamAmor · March 2011

I'm doing mine on Friday at 13w1d.

NickyCicc20 · March 2011

Yes, I did get a dating sono so the date is correct. I also have an appt. tomorrow so I'll check with my regular dr! Good to know that I'm not the only one in this boat!

As long as you're sure of your dates it should be fine.

12-14 weeks is the window for an NT scan, if I remember right. 13 weeks sounds right on.

You'll be near the later limit of the test (13w6d, I believe), but still within the range allowed. As long as you're sure of your dates, you should be fine.

I will only be 11 weeks 5 days - is that okay?

That's actually preferred. I graduated from my RE yesterday and my first appt with my a regular doctor is when I'll be 13w, 1d. They told me it's too late for an NT scan and they won't do it. My RE recommended that I get one done, so I will be doing it at a different facility either later this week or next (depending on my u/s outcome this Thursday).

I just got the paperwork for my NT scan and they preferred you to be between 11w2 and 13w6d. I will be 12w4d when I get mine done!

I think you will be just fine!

This exactly.

The CVS testing (if you choose to have it) can only be done between 11 and 13 weeks. So i think typically an NT is scheduled to be performed early enough that you can still have time to complete the CVS is necessary.

I would be a little nervous about performing the test after 13 weeks if you had plans to do further testing. But otherwise I think you are fine.

this is correct. i am going Friday--i will be 11 weeks 5 days, so that we have time just in case.

amberlala1 · March 2011

I had mine today. I am 12w3d. My OB said 11-13 weeks. I've heard though 11-13w6d.

Lmt61904 · March 2011

I got mine done yesterday at 13w and actually my LO measured at 13w6days and the u/s and doc made no mention that it was too late and they saw everything they needed to with no problems so I don't think it's something to worry about.
