Pregnant after IF

NT test

I know a lot of doctors don't do this in the US or it's optional, but if you had it done what did they do?  

We had our NT test today at 12w4d. 

Ours measured the neck thickness and gave us the measurements, but said with the blood work we won't get more info for another week or two. Oddly, they didn't even look at their hearts, which I forgot to ask about since we had a lot of other things going on. 

My doctor is also neurotic about me not flying, which is going to get interesting, because we are going to be moving internationally in a couple months when I'm roughly 28 weeks. It's a one way 9 hour flight in first or business, so I hope my body and twins cooperate, but I can't worry about it just yet.

    I didn't know you were PG!! Congrats. 

    At my NT they measured the neck fold and the tech did spend some time looking at other parts just to see that they were there. I had a fetal echo the week before so I didn't pay much attention at the NT

  • Ours looked at the thickness of the back of the neck and checked for the presence of the nasal bone. The paper I have also has a measurement on it (mine is 55.8mm and it says 45-84mm is normal), maybe that's length? Not sure. The tech said everything

  • kaf7 - thanks! I can't believe you've already had your little guy. How's the learning curve? You're probably getting adjusted by now. 

    I appreciate your responses, everyone. I feel like I'm just paranoid I'm not getting the same medical care

  • no advice... I skipped this entirely.  I was told to make sure I got up and walked a bunch when I fly.  I had a work trip at 13 wks on the east coast (I live west coast), and then just a quick one around 26 wks. 

    I hope you get go
