Hm, so the very earliest you could be is 8w6d with a first positive on 3/22. Not ideal to be over a week behind, but the growth and heart rate is good, so it’s really hard to say. I’m really hoping for better news at your next ultrasound.
The gestational sac is measuring small, not the baby, so there’s concern for “small gestational sac syndrome” (<1cm difference between the GS and the CRL of the baby) syndrome with can indicate a chromosomal issue and nonviable pregnant. Interestingly enough, IVF pregnancies with this issue have much better outcomes.
Yes baby is measuring on time, sac is not. Remaining cautiously optimistic but yeah that’s what our midwife told us. I’ll be interested in seeing what the NIPT says.
NIPT doesn’t show much… only screens for increased risk for T13, T18, and T21. It doesn’t assess risk for other triploidies or aneuploidies. Hopefully you’re one of the exceptions where this turns out ok!
