To determine whether the foetus has any chromosomal abnormalities, a double marker test is utilised. This examination is crucial for identifying any neurological issues, such as Down's syndrome or Edward's syndrome, in the developing foetus. It's critical to remember that the result just shows your baby may be at risk for trisomies.

The women who are expecting must determine if the foetus has any chromosomal abnormalities. All pregnant women, regardless of age, should have dual marker testing for pre-birth abnormalities. Pregnancy between 10 and 13 weeks is ideal for this test. Yet, it is feasible to do so between weeks 9 and 13 of pregnancy.

With this test, there is no risk. An infection, bruising, increased bleeding, or hematoma formation at the needle prick site can happen to women in extremely uncommon circumstances.

In general, you can anticipate your test results in 3 to 7 days.
