NT Scan after antibiotics

in May 2012 Moms
I have been on Amoxicillin (for a sinus infection/bad cold) for 9 days. Today would have been the 10th day, but I stopped taking it (my doctor who gave it to me said that was fine). Anyway, I am supposed to give blood for my first trimester risk assessment on Friday and then I have my NT scan the following Friday. I have already put in a call to the office doing my scan and to my OBGYN to ask, but in the meanwhile, I was wondering if anyone's had their bloodwork done while on antibiotics or just after antibiotics and if so, did it cause any of the test to be inaccurate??

    I have no experience with taking antibiotics while pregnant, but I will say that I was never given any specific instructions prior to my BW that said anything about stopping meds.  You should be fine.  Very best of luck to you at your scan!

    Thank you so much. I'm sure they'll tell me that, too, but of course - any need for a freak out, and we'll find it, won't we? lol

    Update: In case anyone reads this and is wondering the same thing, I spoke to the genetics counselor at the office doing my test and she said the blood work is very specific and would not be affected by the Amoxicillin.
