I'm a little worried because for the past 23 months, my periods havent been normal. There's only a tiny bit of bleeding, not the usual red blood, and it only lasts for a couple of days. Plus, I'm not experiencing the stomach aches that I used to get. Could this be related to PCOD or something to do with infertility?

Irregular periods, light bleeding, and reduced stomach cramps can be symptoms of various conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD). These hormonal disorders can disrupt ovulation, leading to irregular periods, infertility, and other symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and weight gain. Other possible causes include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or stress. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if you're concerned about infertility or other related health issues.

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
