Hi Doctor, we are expecting our first child in September. Currently my wife is 17 weeks pregnant. We have done our first trimester screening in February. The findings of the reports are CRL 70 mm, BPD 21 mm, HC 78 mm, AC 68 mm, FL 10 mm, FHR 161 bpm, NT 0.9 mm, nasal bone 1.6 mm. Double marker test report is PAPPa 2.20 MoM, fb hCG 3.53 MoM, age risk 1:441, biochemical T21 risk 1:413, combined trisomy 21 risk 1:2053, trisomy 13/18 plus NT less than 1:10000. Is everything normal? Or is there anything to worry? Please help and guide. Thanks in advance.

Combined trisomy 21 risk of 1:2053 is low and reassuring. All markers including NT, nasal bone, and PAPPa, are within normal range. Nothing to worry.

Hi. My wife is 12 weeks pregnant and everything is normal in her blood report including thyroid, sugar and hemoglobin. The doctor has asked her to go for an NT scan along with Double Marker, which is optional. They said Double Marker will cost 4000 Rs. I need your suggestions. Is Double Marker really required if everything is normal in her blood report?

Hello Doctor, I am 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I did my NT scan 4 days ago and also did a serum test. I am attaching my report. Can you please guide whether the report is normal or not? I am a little worried.

Doctor, in my double marker test report, my beta hCG level is 11 ng/mL. I showed the report to my personal doctor, and he said everything is normal, explaining that there is a difference between beta hCG and total hCG levels. However, I am still worried about my beta hCG count. Could you please clarify if this level is normal and if I should be concerned?
