I just read my ultrasound report and I'm a bit worried. It mentions something like "retained products of conception," and "small left ovarian simple cyst." Also, it talks about a "heterogenous endometrium" and some vascularity, but I'm not really sure what all this means. Could this be serious? There was also something about minimal fluid in the pelvis and no obvious wall thickening in the bladder. Should I be doing something about this or is it something that will resolve on its own?

The report indicates the presence of small retained products of conception (RPOC) in the uterus, which can be seen as endometrial contents with vascularity. This finding should be evaluated clinically to determine its significance. Additionally, a small simple cyst is present on the left ovary, but it appears to be benign with no concerning features like septations or solid components.

I'm three months pregnant and just had my NT and dual marker screening, and the results are showing a high risk for trisomy 21. I'm really worried about what this means and how it might affect my baby. Can you help me understand this better?

A high-risk result for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) from your NT and dual marker tests is concerning, but it's essential to understand that it's a screening test, not a diagnostic test; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, and they may recommend further testing, such as a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best course of action.
