When I was 12 weeks old I had an anatomy scan. Everything was fine with the baby, everything showed normal values. But the doctor found a reversed flow in doctus venosus and because of that he recommended a NIPT test. I was a nervous wreck while waiting for it. I was so stressed and worried sick. The NIPT test finally came back negative and I was so happy and relieved. I asked the doctor what this "negative a wave" meant if my NIPT test was normal, he said it doesn't mean anything, it's just a soft marker for DS but that I don't need to worry about it now. But he wanted me to come in again for a checkup at 21 weeks. I went for a checkup and again all measured proportions were well within normal range on the scan. The heart was normal, everything looked great. But this time he found something else, an isolated echogenic focus on the baby's right ventricle. My heart rate increased and the tears rolled down. I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. It was so unexpected, I certainly didn't think he would find anything else. He tried to reassure me that it probably didn't mean anything. He said that if I was really worried I could get an amniocentesis done but that he didn't recommend it. But again he was open to doing it if that was what would put my mind at ease. I just can’t relax and I'm afraid to do an amniocentesis, because I'm afraid they will find something else that they can't necessarily say for sure what it means. It can happen, there is no guarantee. I don't know that to do. I feel stuck with these feelings. My gynecologist said she would refer me for another check-up to see if the echogenic focus was still there in a few weeks, it was mostly to reassure me.
I wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar? I just can't help to worry.
