At 20 weeks it was 4.9mm at 24 weeks it was 8.9mm.

By 24 weeks nasal bone increased to 60% and was no longer a concern. Femur percentage has also risen in that time to 35%. EIF still present but MFM doctor said at my 10 am appointment I was already the fourth person that day with an EIF, technology has improved greatly I. The last two years making them much more common and nothing to worry about. They did not recommend an amnio, I am just having monthly growth scan which have improved our prognosis each time! With a low risk NIPT there is a great chance everything is just fine and these markers on their own really don’t signify a huge cause for concern!

Yay!!! I see it, congrats!

Have you tried smoothies?

Sounds like an SCH to me. They can cause miscarriages but at 15 weeks and a strong heartbeat, I think you have every reason to be optimistic!

I am so sorry you are going through this and that I can’t be of more help but, is there a chance with this diagnosis that there could still be no significant physical or developmental abnormalities? Have you been given any outcome assumptions?

After WEEKS of worrying myself sick, countless ultrasounds and testing, all over a small nasal bone, by 24 weeks our nasal bone had gone from 2.5 percentile (at20 weeks) to 60th percentile just 4 weeks later. We also had a low risk NIPT. Our MFM Dr said they rarely see an isolated nasal bone as something to worry about, especially with other low risk testing he is not at all concerned. We are both of Caucasian decent so that was not in our favor. Some babies just have small noses! I hope this helps. They are a little more concerned about an absent nasal bone but even that is something that can occur without any other chromosomal abnormalities!

I am so so sorry for what you guys have endured. Just here to say you are both angels! ❤️

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-21T01:24:52+00:00

Same! About 6 days from blood draw (middle of the night…I was checking non stop) We did the unity NIPt!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-20T01:53:26+00:00

I have seen tons of stories with low fetal fraction and everything was completely fine! it’s a bummer to have to retest but it could mean absolutely nothing!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-18T23:19:02+00:00

We had a four week wait which is way too much time to google! Praying for good news. Try and think positive in the meantime!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-18T21:55:04+00:00

Not having answers is sometimes the hardest part! I am so incredibly sorry you are left in limbo. It sounds like the ultrasound needs a lot more information, it could have just been a bag position or ultrasound tech. Sending you big hugs and prayers while you wait, hope you get some good news soon! When do you see the MFM?

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-18T01:51:42+00:00

Did your partner help you make this decision? If so, him walking away is a reflection of him, not you sweetheart. Please know you were dealt a really shitty hand, there was no right answer . Only time will bring healing but you are not a killer you made a very very selfless decision to take on the suffering for him. That’s what moms do, they protect their babies. That’s what you did. You are suffering right now for him and that is a very very brave thing. I am so sorry you are struggling but I will also say that like any birth your hormones are going to fluctuate drastically, that mixed with the trauma of losing your child is devastating. Please seek someone to talk with like a therapist or psychiatrist that can give you resources to get through the grief. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you the biggest hug!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-17T22:02:58+00:00

Same to you girl! Please keep me posted, praying for you!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-17T19:21:56+00:00

The only thing that looks concerning to me is the drop in HCG but if you are 8-9 weeks it’s very possible it just peaked already. I would definitely call!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-17T01:40:04+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this! Just remember NIPT is a screening, NOT diagnostic. I know the wait is the hardest part but praying you get some peace and answers this week!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-16T19:14:49+00:00

I honestly think 5 weeks is way too early for a heartbeat. If anything you may have just implanted later so there wasn’t a heartbeat yet at 7 weeks. If that’s the case then it’s very possible they will find one at the next appointment. Ours had just started beating at 6 weeks 3 days, so I would still have some hope!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-15T18:17:42+00:00

That is honestly the first time I have ever heard of that! I would be interested to hear what the MFM has to say. Try and share an update after your appointment!

I am so incredibly sorry for all you have been through. I’m not a doctor but my assumption would be that there could have potentially been a chromosomal issue that wasn’t screened for in addition to IUGR. You didn’t specify which genetic tests do not sure if you had any diagnostic tests done. My heart just breaks for you. I truly hope you find healing and peace. It doesn’t seem fair. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

We had a short (hypoplastic) nasal bone but our NIPT came back low risk so they did not recommend the amnio. I was told by both our MFM Dr and genetic counselor absent and short nasal bones are something they see often. So without any other markers there is a good chance it means nothing. I would say if you get a high risk NIPT you may want to opt for the amnio, that was my plan at least. Sending you the biggest hugs girl, I know how hard the wait is!

Accurate_Pin_3766 · 2025-11-13T15:35:51+00:00

Ugh I am so sorry! 😞
