Help on Oscar scan (hypoplastic nasal bone)

Hello all!! I went for oscar nt scan at 12 weeks exact. Neck skin thickness is alright, but the nasal bone is not obvious and dr used the term "hypoplastic nose" and gotta wait for a week for the results and i am so anxious! Does anyone has any clue abt this eg if the blood result risk is good, do i take another scan a week after to scan for the nose again? Or do i take nipt + another scan for the nose too? Just exploring the possibilities in advance. I do read that the nose does grow slower in some asian babies and i hope that's for my case. Pls share with me if you have been thru sth similiar, would certainly appreciate it. Thank you! #pregnancy #firstbaby #pleasehelp

Been through the same case too one month ago during my 12 week Oscar scan, bb’s nasal bone was a bit underdeveloped so doctor labelled me as intermediate risk and my Gynae recommended me to do further testing. Went down to take Panorama test without a thought, and waited 2 weeks for the result and final results came back as Low risk. And it was a huge load off our minds. So I would strongly suggest if you can afford, just do the further testing NIPT be it harmony or panorama ☺️ hope all goes well for u!

No need to return for the scan. They will just draw your blood and send to US for the panorama test. Cause the test straightaway tests using DNA, so it’s 99% accurate for downsyndrome and 10 other genetic syndromes. When the results come back within 10-14 days then the clinic will inform you again.
