An increased NT measurement but negative Harmony result?

I'm pregnant with my first child and we had a scary scan where we were told that the baby's NT measurement was in the 95th-99th percentile and that the baby was high risk for Down's Syndrome or some other chromosomal abnormality.

The Harmony test result came back negative, but I still don't feel reassured because apparently the NT measurement can signify other abnormalities.

I found this from a research paper:

"There is growing evidence that increased NT thickness during the first trimester of pregnancy in a chromosomally normal fetus is associated with numerous fetal structural abnormalities, genetic syndromes, heart defects, and poor perinatal outcomes such as miscarriage and intrauterine death."

I'm terrified and still sick with worry. Has anyone else had this kind of result - and do you mind sharing what the outcome was? Or what steps you took?

This was the research article:
