I *think* it was the NT, because IIRC it raised the possibility of Down's slightly, but the possibility was still super-low. The doctor said "I hate having to tell you this, because it is *incredibly meaningless,* but yes, we found this thing. It will almost certainly be fine." Which it was; she's completely fine. It would be during the anatomy scan. EIF is a soft marker for Down syndrome. This article is the standard for ultrasound markers and DS. Bank posted:Thanks for sharing -- my wife went in for the blood test yesterday so we're just going to wait and hopefully get a letter in the mail (rather than an urgent phone call). You should get a phone call within two weeks. I'm a genetic counselor and we do this screen all the time. Also, doctors suck at interpreting these tests, so if you have any questions, shoot me a pm.
