NT results and chromosomal abnormalities

Hi all
At our dating scan today (11+2) we saw the NT measurement of 1.3mm which I know can be considered to be in the normal range. However, due to a genetic chromosome condition (and losing our daughter to it in March), I’m having the CVS test next week anyway. With our daughter, the NT thickness was much higher and we knew from the offset that things were bad.
Having a good NT measurement today has relieved DH and I somewhat, although I know it would be silly to completely relax until we have definite answers (there’s still a chance of us having a genetically ‘normal’ child).
My question is this: has anybody had a low NT measurement yet still received bad news with the blood tests? I have a million thoughts running through my head right now. Thank you.

I had low NT, high risk (from low papp-A) on combined test then clear NIPT. All well at 34 weeks.

Thank you for reply. Glad to hear everything is well. You must be so relieved. I think I’m just trying to scaremonger myself, which is ridiculous.
