So that's another side of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-1100829 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:56:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1100829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: From what I remember, the NT scan doesn't look for the sex of the baby. The ultrasound tech will take measurements and look at the baby's neck. That, combined with blood will determine the change of any chromosomal abnormalities. The anatomy scan is (usually) at 20 weeks. Now, there is a different test that is strictly a blood test that will do a lot of the same testing as the NT scan, but it will also be able to tell the gender of the baby. I've heard it called several names, including Harmony and Panorama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-1100823 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:54:23 +0000 shopaholic 1100823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg! I saw this old thread and thought, @photojane: is preggers again?!?! But then I saw the original post date! :wink: </p> <p>@SupernovaJ: If I understand your question correctly, you want to know about finding out gender? They generally tell you at the ultrasound, if they can get a good shot of the right region. I know there is some blood test that can confirm gender too. Not sure which one because we always had gender confirmed at ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-1100821 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:53:43 +0000 lemondrop 1100821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a call about 4 days later that all was well with bloodwork and the scan measurements. We didn't do the Harmony test that will tell gender, but we were able to see that we are most likely having a boy from the ultrasound. The tech said she doesn't typically check then, but we had a little extra time and said pretty please, so she gave us a sneak peek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-1100791 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:42:22 +0000 SupernovaJ 1100791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump!</p> <p>i'm just curious if you can always find out the sex of the baby after the NT scan. was it offered to you? how is this done - via blood work on the day of the ultrasound, with results 1-2 weeks later?</p> <p>thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230205 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 11:49:53 +0000 kodybear 230205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for us, they had us do the 1st blood draw 1-2 weeks before the scan. then immediately after the scan we met with a dr and he told us our results from the 1st blood draw and scan. for the 2nd blood draw, my drs office called me a couple days later to tell me everything was good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230197 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 11:40:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 230197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours on a Friday...we knew everything on the ultrasound looked good right then, and I think I got a call back from the hospital the following Wednesday or Thursday with the results of the bloodwork. She was actually just going to tell me that everything was within a normal range, but I insisted on hearing the numbers, lol.</p> <p>ETA: I also got it done at the hospital we'll be delivering at, not at my doctor's office, so I don't know if that'll make a difference or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230156 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 10:35:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 230156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my NT scan 4 weeks ago and don't get my official results until this Thursday. I looked at all the numbers though so I know it's fine, and I figure they would have called me in if there was a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230147 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 10:27:29 +0000 MamaMoose 230147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My NT scan was a combo of ultrasound and bloodwork. The bloodwork needed to be sent to a special lab. I had my ultrasound on a Wednesday and the tech told me everything looked good to her. And then Monday my doctor called and confirmed that everything in the scan and the bloodwork came back normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230142 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 10:25:04 +0000 photojane 230142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The scan is at my doctor's office. The ultrasound is with a tech, and then I have an appointment scheduled with my doctor immediately after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230140 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 10:21:19 +0000 matador84 230140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it depends on if you do it at your doctor's office or a different sonogram office. I did mine at my doctor's office so he told me right then everything looked good. WIth my anatomy scan, it was at another office, and then I had an appointment right after and he met with me to say everything looks good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nt-scan#post-230136 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 10:19:29 +0000 photojane 230136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my NT scan on Friday, and I'm just wondering how quickly I'll get the results. I know that they do blood work, so I won't get those results right away, but what about the ultrasound? If they see something alarming, will they tell me at my appointment Friday? If not, how long did you wait to get your results? </p>
