Brief Answer:
Negative ICT
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
ICT less than 1:8 is considered as negative.You should get the test done from the same lab each time.
The ICT should be repeated every 4-6 weekly till 28 weeks , if negative till then , the anti D injection should be given and then there is no need to do any further ICT.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
