    Hi,

    My LMP was august 18th. I am told by the doc to do a first trimester screening (FTA+USG+Biochem)... I think it is the NT test....The secretary of the doc gave me appt on nov 18th for the scan. I will be 13.1 weeks by then.
    But I read that its done betw 11 to 13 weeks........ is it ok if its 13.1 week? I called n she says its okay!. but, I am just all so worried abt these scans.
    I had a scan at 6.5 weeks HB was 121 bpm and seedling fibroid seen. doc said all normal.
    As Iv had 2 mcs (missed mc) prior to this, Im so worried if this baby is growing or not, and 13 weeks is sooo long.

    Thanks for reading. I would appreciate your advice.

    Dont worry .. as far as I know The NT scan must be done when you're between 11 and 14 weeks pregnant. (The last day you can have it done is the day you turn 13 weeks and 6 days pregnant.) so 13.1 weeks is fine. because I also got it done around same time.

    be relax, dont worry....Congratulations once again!!
