Double marker or triple marker tests are done for ruling out any genitical complications in the fetus. it is not compulsory. but if you have any physical complications, or diseases that can harm the baby, or you are in your 30s while in ur first pregnancy you should go for it. the triple marker is done between 12wks to 18 weeks approximately and the cost may vary depending upon the lab and location.

Hi girls.. my sister in law was asked to do the double marker test as she is above 30.. and her reports are good.. I am under 30 as well don't have any kind of disorder history.. but I have heard that with this test we can know the brain growth conditions as well.. So was just thinking to get it done .. what you say

yes it is Mandatory and u should go vd it...

the triple marker doesn't indicate brain growth.

Wat do you mean double marker and triple marker..... am hearing for the first time. ... my doc didn't talk anything about this. ...and am 5 months pregnant.

Hi.. My double marker test reports were normal and my Gyanaecologist was forcing me to go for triple marker test. But as my double marker test reports were normal & I had 4 ultrasound within 4 month, so I took a second opinion from another Gyanaecologist and she suggested that it's not necessary if double marker reports are normal and if there is no genetic history of any disorder.

these tests are always advised coz we want the best for our baby
