NT Scan

[kershnic]

The total feedback that I got was: 'they look good.' So, that's good of course but isn't there supposed to be more??? The tech said the bloodwork results will go back to my OB who I see again in 3 weeks....so I guess that will be a little more feedback. Did anyone else get more information?

We opted out of the NT scan, but from what I hear from others is that they get a number with what chance they have. That might be the combo NT+blood though.
Looks good sounds positive thpugh I always feel that if there's a chance of a.bad result they won't tell you anything or at least won't use the word good.

With the NT+Blood we got numbers, like Cheesecake said. They drew the blood about a week before the actual scan so that they would be able to give the full results at the scan. My OB works closely with the MFM office and it's expected that the doc there will give the results. If there's any thing abnormal you work with them and your OB to develop a plan.

Sounds like you might get more info at your next OB visit, and if they don't offer, I would ask! But, anytime they say, "Looks good" is generally a good sign!

I guess it does make sense that they need the blood and the measurement to get the number... I guess I was just expecting the number because it seems like other people get it - maybe pre-drawn like degal99 mentioned. I'm used to knowing what is going on and having a lot of information from the RE, and this OB & MFM combo is not very informative. I also thought I was actually having a consult with the MFM today, but it turns out I was supposed to schedule that separately. My next OB appointment is in two weeks, but I might try to call next week and get the results over the phone... We've also been talking about changing OBs, which would also lead to a different MFM. So many decisions to make and things to understand! I am overwhelmed.

I agree though that "looks good" must be at least somewhat positive! I do know that the crown to rump lengths were both good and both had strong heartbeats.

My NT ultrasound is next Monday - I should go do the blood work soon too...

I had my blood drawn at the scan and then my OB called with the results a couple of days later.
