The self-calculated gestational age during triple screen was 15 weeks + 4 days. The doctor's estimated gestational age and ultrasound findings were 18 weeks + 4 days.
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the Down syndrome screening test measures the levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and free estriol (uE3) in the mother's serum. By combining the pregnant woman's menstrual cycle, age, and gestational age at the time of blood collection, it calculates the risk factor for "Down syndrome children," which can identify 80% of Down syndrome cases. The results are not a definitive diagnosis but rather a risk factor, indicating the likelihood of developing Down syndrome.Advice: Analysis of the condition: Hello, the Down syndrome screening test measures the levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and free estriol (uE3) in the mother's serum.

If >2.5 MOM, it is considered a high-risk pregnancy for neural tube defects (i.e., a positive result in the neural tube defect screening), and prenatal diagnosis is recommended; amniocentesis. Conversely, if
