I'm concerned because I missed my double marker test but I did manage to get my NT scan right at the start of my 14th week. Are the results from this NT scan accurate at 14 weeks? My doctor mentioned doing the Triple Marker test at 16 weeks, but I'm wondering if the Triple Marker test is better than the Quadruple Marker test. I'm 35 now and really don't want to take any risks when it comes to my baby. Could you help me figure out the best steps to take from here?

The NT scan is a risk assessment tool, not a diagnostic test. It can't tell for sure if a baby has a problem, so another test is needed to confirm a diagnosis.The quadruple marker test is generally more sensitive than the triple marker test, and is recommended for women who are at higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities

I've been dealing with irregular periods for quite a while now, and it's really unsettling not having a fixed monthly schedule. The dates are always shifting. Could you give me some guidance on why this might be happening or what I can do about it?
Irregular periods can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I recommend consulting with a gynecologist who can evaluate your symptoms and may suggest lifestyle changes, medication, or further tests to help regulate your cycle. It's important to address this issue for your overall well-being.
