Scheduled 1st TM Screening US

I scheduled it for next Wednesday - keep your fingers crossed. I'll be 11 1/2 weeks. I'm not any more freaked out than I am by anything else. Unfortunately it doesn't test for NTD which is what I'm really concerned about as the baby had that and a cystic hygroma with our last loss. It will give me some reassurance until the AFP though and it's supposed to have a lower false positive rate than the quad screen. This is what I keep telling myself so I'm not worried about it. Has anyone had a problem with their insurance paying for it. Apparently the mfm's office has started charging ahead of time and refunding money after insurance reimburses because they were having a hard time getting reimbursed. Hopefully this is not the case - otherwise we'll be billing the health care spending account another $200. Thanks for letting me babble.

I am in the process of scheduling my nt scan too. I called my insurance company to see if it was covered. My doctors office just had to call and pre-authorize it. I'll be thinking about you on Wednesday:)
