NT Scan - best time?

Had an appt. with the perinatologist today.  We are trying to schedule my NT scan.  She said it needs to be done between 10 and 14 weeks.  Does anyone know of a "best time" within that time frame?  Is there one week better than the other?  Is week 10 and 14 less accurate?  Thanks for any answers/input.

I think as long as it's inbetween those times it shouldn't make a difference. Though I'd always heard it was done at 10-13 weeks for the most accurate results.

I would say between 11 and 13 weeks just because a lot of the time the baby measures bigger or smaller.
