Dating/NT scan booked at 10+5?

Hi all

Just looking for some opinions as online info is a bit contradictory...

I’ve been booked in for my dating/NT scan at 10+5 (according to the way midwife dated me it would be 11+5 because they go by LMP and not ov date and I have long cycles). I know my dates are right as I’ve had a private scan at 7 weeks and I was measuring exactly to my dates so I know the mw is wrong 🙈.

Anyway hospital have booked me in at 10+5 and I’m worried that’s too early to do the NT bit? Nhs website says anywhere between 10-14 weeks is fine and this info has been updated recently (I.e. this month), but all other info online says you have to be 11 weeks plus?

I’m a bit paranoid as we had a high NT picked up in a previous pregnancy that ended in miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormality so want to make sure it going for the scan at the right time.

I have attached a screenshot of the info I found on nhs website which contradicts all other info I’ve come across.

Has anyone had an NT measurement taken that early?

Thanks

The combined test needs to be done between 11 and 14 weeks but usually if you are not far enough along they’ll just rebook you to come back a week or so later so you should still get the screening

Oddly I’ve just dpubl checked and you’re right the nhs website does say from 10 but I’m a sonographer and we definitely don’t do it under 11 weeks
