Scan at 11 weeks - can it show anything useful?

Firstly I'm anxious. I had my NIPT test privately because I'm 38 and worry.

I was 10+5 according to my last period and measured at 11+2 on the scan.

The scan said everything was fine on the scan. Was the scan done too early? Is it a good sign there is nothing out of the ordinary on the scan - can I be say 90% confident?

I'm just anxious sorry. Part of that is thinking I've been told wrong stuff by the professionals.

If the NIPT test is more accurate why are oriole getting a high first reading and the NIPT giving a low risk? That's happened to others on that thread.

Show quote history

The high first reading will be down to the way the NHS screen, being older or having a higher BMI will automatically give you a higher risk factor even if the rest of your results are within normal range.

With DD the chances of DS were 1 in 600 based on the NHS screening (I was 35 and had higher levels of hcg which we think was partly down to conceiving her immediately after a chemical pregnancy). We opted to have a harmony test done for added peace of mind which gave us odds of 1 in 10,000. DD was born fit and well with no complications.
