High Nuchal Translucency (NT) and polydactyly? Any experience of this?

This is my first time posting on Mumsnet but hoping to find others who have been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

I (34,F) am 11.5 weeks pregnant with our first child, which was an IVF baby (due to husbands issues). I had an early 10 week scan which highlighted raised NT of 3.7mm and was told that this could be due to chromosomal issues. I had a private scan at 10.5 weeks which showed everything was fine at this stafe except that the baby had extra digits, or polydactyly, on both hands. I was told in isolation, extra digits are common, but combined with the thick NT it is likely there is a chromosomal issue, possibly Edwards or Patau's.

I'm obviously now sick with worry and am booked in for further tests, but wondering if anyone has had experience of these combined results at this stage?
