My gynac asked me to do a double marker test and i forgot to ask her properly what its for. Im 11 weeks now. Can someone explain what this test checks?
My gynac explained its a blood test done usually around 11 to 14 weeks along with the NT scan. It checks the risk for certain chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome. She said its a screening, not a confirm test, so dont panic if something flags, they do further tests then.
Its a routine screening test in the first trimester combined with the NT scan. I did mine and results were fine. Honestly your doctor explains the report best, so dont go fully by internet interpretations.
I was so nervous before this test, kept imagining worst cases. Turned out totally normal and I felt silly for stressing so much. If you do worry, just talk to your doc, they calm you down with facts.
