The Triple Marker Test in Pregnancy: Timing, Procedure, and What to Expect! | Mamata Fertility

Expecting moms, here's a quick rundown on a crucial prenatal screening: the Triple Marker Test! 👶🩺 🔬 What is it? The Triple Marker Test is a simple blood test typically performed between 15 to 18 weeks of pregnancy. It helps assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in your baby by measuring three important hormones in your blood: Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-HCG), and Estriol. 🔍 Why is it done? This test provides valuable information about the likelihood of certain genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome. It’s an important step to ensure your baby's health and well-being. 🧪 What do the results mean? The results are categorized into two groups: Low Risk and High Risk. Low Risk: Your test results are within the normal range, indicating a lower likelihood of abnormalities. High Risk: Your results suggest a higher chance of chromosomal issues, and further diagnostic tests will be recommended for a clearer picture.
