First trimester screening what to expect?

Hi everyone,

We have our first trimester screen on Tuesday at exactly 12 weeks. I am eager/nervous to see if everything is progressing ok with the LO. I know they take some measurements but not sure what else happens. Do they tell you anything about the risks/findings or just have the OB call with that info?

I know I could just wait and see when I get there but I do much better knowing what to expect so I appreciate any feedback!
Me:30 low AMH; DH:30 MFI (count, motility, morphology)
2 rounds clomid 100 mg -BFN
IUI#1- 25 mg clomid- July 2012= BFN!
IUI #2 August = BFN!
IUI #3 September = BFN!

IVF #1 November - converted to IUI #4 due to poor response = BFN
IVF #1.2 February- converted to IUI #5 due to poor response = BFN
IVF #1.3 April- micro dose Lupron flare with HGH; 14R, 13M, 11F! Transfer of 1 day 5 blast on 4/30, 4 frosties. BFP! Beta #1 9dp5dt= 179; Beta #2 11dp5dt= 442; Beta #3 4106 Stick baby stick!!

*trying to keep hope*

    I had mine done at my MFM.  Mine was just an ultrasound-took about 45min.  Then I met with the doctor who went over all the results.  Good luck!

    I'm sure every place does it a little differently. Where I went, I first met with a genetic counselor, who told me what they were testing for. She told me she would be calling me within a week with my results.

    I first had my u/s. They measured for overall growth, presence of nasal bone, development of brain and limbs, amount of fluid behind the neck. As you probably know, 12 weeks is really too early to tell the gender definitely. Then they drew blood, just one vial. 

    Because there were 3 different steps, with the wait time in between it took about 2 hours.

    The doctor will use u/s measurements and your bloodwork results to figure out your odds for different chromosomal disorders. Based on your odds they will suggest more invasive testing like an amnio, which is the only way to get a yes/no answer on whether your fetus has a chromosomal disorder.

    Good luck!

    i did the NT scan, which is just an ultrasound and the MaterniT21 test, which is a blood test and gives much clearer/more accurate results for the trisomies than the quad screen does.
