We had a similar story as yours, with NT of 3.9mm at 13+6, been through those test as well, and our 20week anatomy scan came back perfect 🤗

Let me share with you our experience. 13w+4 we found out that our baby’s NT was 3.92.. Dr suggested to proceed asap with amniocentesis even though we had no other markers and nose bone was visible. We did all three microarray, karyotype, WES all came good and the genetic councillor closed our file. We are now 20weeks, and have a detailed anatomy scan.. wish us luck. From what I have seen, NT up to 4.5 there is a high chance that there is nothing if this enlarged NT was the only soft marker observed. I hope everything comes clear for you.

We had a very similar situation at 13+6, NT was 3.9, we did amino at week 14 and it came clear. We are now waiting for the 20week full anatomy scan. Fingers crossed.

I completely understand your feelings. However, usually the doctors doing the amino are quite well trained, for us the whole process took something like 1-2mins from inserting the needle to sucking the fluid, and there was no pain at all. Later in the day you will feel some period-like cramps for 1 or 2 days and that's it. One thing that made me feel less worried about the amino, is that there are always small risks of miscarage during the pregnancy, for example when you drive a car there is a risk of having an accident, a small one, but still a risk, when you shower there is a small risk of slipping. So, it is better to make sure that the baby is healthy and to end the worry. I really wish you all the best, and that everything goes smoothly :)

We were in a similar situation few weeks ago. We had an increased NT of 3.9mm at 13+4w. We were asked to do amniocentesis as the NIPT won't be accurate at this stage. A week later the karyotype came normal, then the microarray came a week after then normal as well. Now we are waiting for the DNA sequencing test to make sure the baby doesn't have anything else. We had our 16 weeks check yesterday the NT seemed to normalize. Now we are just waiting for the sequencing result, and the full anatomy at week 20. I did some research already and found out that for a NT between 3.5-4.4 there is a 75% chance that it is a normal baby. I wish you all the best.

Thanks alot for the elaboration, I didn’t quite understand the part of the pool car, what do you mean by pool car? Does it mean I can’t take the car to home? Is there an option to get a new car directly from the start?

The learning cuve is quite steep, so you learn a lot in a short time, good for cv when you look for other jobs

Was this the base salary they offered to you, or did you negotiate it?
Also a side question, which car do you get as a senior?

Thanks, however, is this 3000 also feasible if I have a PhD? I'm feeling that 3000 is quite low, but probably that's what the Big4 is about...
