My wife aged 27+, is almost 12 weeks pregnant. She had her last period on 7/4/19. Her 1st usg after pregnancy was done on 1/619. She is under regular check up of a gynecologist. He has given fol 123, sugest 300 sr and bevon. He advised to do nt scan on 7/ 7/19. But he did not advice double marker test and on 7/7/19 she will be on 13th week. Is it necessary to do double marker test and should it be done on 12 th week?

Hi, It is better if both not scam and double markers are done as a screening for downs syndrome. The tests can be done anytime between 11-13 weeks. So yes you can get them done around the 12th week. First go for the ultrasound and then the blood test.
