Help! 12 week NT timing question

[emmalee86]

I went for my 12 week scan and bloodtest on the same day (within 2 hours if each other) and I saw a genetic counsellor that same appointment...
The whole exercise took about 2 hours with tests/scan/counseling but at the time I was so busy at work that it was much better then trying to schedule two appointments and have two disturbed days.,

Can definitely be done..

bloods have to be sent to the State lab and analysed. your appt would have to be adjoined to the lab, and have perfect timing with the running of samples to get results combining both bloods and ultrasound in 2 hours.

Get the bloodtest at 10 weeks. They should then have the result by the time of your scan. The scan place then sends their results to the state lab who responds with a risk profile based on a combination of the bloodtest & scan. For DS3, my blood & paperwork was misfiled, so they hadnt analyzed the blood. I had to wait another week after the scan to get my final risk profile.
