Question
I am 14 weeks pregnant and recently had a prenatal check-up. The doctor recommended a trisomy test. I would like to ask, is it normal if the trisomy test result shows a low risk? Do I need to have a trisomy test at this point?
Answer
Generally, the ideal time for a trisomy test is between 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. If the test result indicates a low risk, it typically means the test outcome is satisfactory. However, if the result shows moderate or even high risk, further prenatal diagnosis is usually recommended. Since your pregnancy is already at 14 weeks and the test result is low risk with good condition, we still need to rule out any possible testing errors.
