NT Scan Questions

[mandapanda18]

Good Morning Ladies! My H and I had to go to a separate diagnositic/xray place to have our NT scan since the only available apt within our window at our normal ob was on New Year's Eve and we will be in Tahoe. So after much grief last night (almost an hour of both transvaginal and regular U/S) and two techs they finally got the boucing/kicking child of ours to cooperate. Since they are not our dr they wouldn't tell us anything, meaning I couldn't sleep last night at all. How long do you thing it will take for our regular OB to review the results? Do you think I can start calling tomorrow? We are really nervous as H's sister has a history of downs and the last one nearly killed her!

On the up side, my printed photos showed the approx date almost a week earlier than anticipated, so looks like we will be having a 4th of July baby!

We went in on a Monday and got our results on Friday. My CF test didn't come back until the following week. I did see an MFM while in the office and she said the U/S looked good but we'd confirm once the bloodwork came in.

I called while i was on lunch and just asked how long it would take, mentioning non-chalantly that we wanted to tell our family at Christmas, she said to call back after lunch tomorrow and they would let me know

The bloodwork can take up to 10 days even if you went to your own OB you still may not know. I had mine done 8 days ago and am still waiting.

Thanks for asking this- I have my scan tomorrow. I was hoping to get all of the results by Christmas, but it looks like that may not happen.

let me clarify, I will only get results of the neck measurement part of the test, the bloodwork is mailed into a different lab, and I didn't do that until Monday, so they do not expect the results from that part until at least NYE.

Gotcha. My place told me that the neck measurement "looked good" but that it was really only ~5% of the NT scan results and that the blood results were much more telling. I hope you hear back soon!

kate, I asked, she said she was not allowed to give anything out
