@Delaney nope they just did my ultrasound
@Delaney Nipt was normal
@Tyra did your doctor say anything about NT? I just know NIPT is more accurate than NT. I personally wouldn’t do amnio but if you’re worried I’d ask your doctor what they think about the NT result vs NIPT.
@Delaney they told me not to worry but when you talk about genetic abnormalities It’s not something I could just wait to find out
@Delaney yeah they just said it was abnormal
@Tyra well if it helps you to feel better NIPT only has a 5% false negative rate. I think it’s safe to say the chances are extremely low of the NT mattering which is probably why your doctor said don’t worry about it. I know this is difficult tho - my carrier results came back for a horrible spinal muscular disorder and I had my husband tested immediately but luckily he was negative.
Did they do the AFP-100 maternal serum test? My doctor said the NT is for ruling out Down syndrome and that’s on the NIPT as trisomy 21. The AFP-100 I guess is another test that checks for that alone with spins bifida. It seemed like a normal test that my doctor ordered and my insurance covered it. I’m not sure amnio would be covered if you’re under 35 and it’s a lot more risky than NIPT.
