Dual marker should be done before 13 weeks + 6 days + and cannot be committed as of now because after 5th month the placental location can literally be away from the US especially 2.5 CM

Generally at 3-4 month placenta is in slight low down in its position with the advance week it will go up by itself....so don't take tension of placenta for that repeat scan after 1 half month.....if NT/NB scan is normal then don't take much tension....but it is better go for dual marker as it will tell u about if any syndrome is there or not....
