Double Marker positive but nt scan fine
Hi Doctors,
My wife got double marker positive, but the nt scan is absolutely fine
Trisomy 21: 1 in 62
Doctors told it's high risk pregnancy.
We had given blood for double marker at 10 week 6 days and nt scan is done at 13 week 2 days. I have seen that double marker will be taken after or with nt scan as the papp-a and HCG values doubles every 2 to 3 days. In our case the double marker is taken 2 and half week before nt scan. Is this the correct procedure?
Should we go for double marker again to get exact results? Please suggest
