My Harmony results came back today (shockingly fast turnaround!) - everything is low risk - and confirmed what we thought from the ultrasound...at least one of the twins is a BOY!
@dogmomma096 It was mid-day last Tuesday. I was told 7-10 business days, so I figured I would have it at the end of this week maybe...not first thing Monday morning!
FX for a fast turnaround for you @dogmomma096 - I wouldn't wish the shitshow mine turned out to be on anyone. Do you have any "feelings" or guesses about what the sweet lil' baby may be?

I got mine today which shocked me since they said 2 weeks (and my blood draw was last Monday). Low risk and another girl! It’s actually starting to feel real!!!
I was feeling so calm before the blood draw but now the closer it gets to results the more anxious I am! I just want to know LO is healthy. Come on, Quest!
We got the test results a week ago (all normal, hooray!!!) but I declined to hear the sex over the phone because I wasn’t with my husband at the time. They finally uploaded our results to my online chart yesterday and we found out that we are having a baby girl 💗 I’m so happy!
So not only do I not get results today, the lab somehow messed up and didn't even draw the blood for the NIPT. They drew the other two orders I had, and just forgot? Missed it? I have no idea how as I confirmed TWICE in the office that they got that one too. But, when I called the lab today to see when my results were expected... Oh, that order is still out here, it didn't get drawn. WHAT?!?! I am so furious! So now I have to go tomorrow for another blood draw and wait another 7-10 days for hopefully an all clear.
I am between crying mad and crying upset. Stupid hormones. Stupid lab!
@WinchesterGirl - Mine was similar, except the had drawn it, just the lab had misplaced or forgot to run the vial I'm so sorry, hopefully, they can put in a rush order for their incompetence

I had Natera Panorama done at 10 weeks. Got it back on 2/6. Low Risk for all and baby is a boy! My OB also follows up with the NT scan and we had that this Monday and confirms all is well and baby looks awesome. So relieved.

For those of you that had your NIPT done through LabCorp, were you able to see when your results were processing on their site? I had other blood work done on Monday also, and there are 4 different line items for results that are all labeled the same. 3 of the 4 are available now, the last one will be released tomorrow at 4:30am.
I don’t think the last one is NIPT (it says the results were already sent to my doctor but when I talked to them today they hadn’t received them yet, plus it’s only been 3 days since the draw), so I’m wondering why there isn’t a line for NIPT even if it hasn’t been processed yet? Or will it not show up at all until the results have been sent to my doc?
@dogmomma096 I had other blood work drawn at the same time as my NIPT. It was drawn on Feb 4th in the afternoon, and by Feb 9th LabCorp said my.results had been sent to my doctor. But I wasn't able to view them until Feb 13. Feb 11th I sent a message to my doctor's nurse asking about them and she said she would let me know when they were in. She called the next day. My guess was they just got backed up from being busy over the weekend.
Of and my other blood work from that day was available on like the 8th I think.
@Beauxbaton Were you able to see that your NIPT draw existed in your LapCorp portal before they were sent to your doctor? Or nothing until then and it just showed up on Feb 9th? All my other bloodwork is in now and I’m not seeing anything else showing up yet. Just wondering if there’s an issue or if it just won’t show up at all until it’s done and sent to my doc.
@dogmomma096 - Everyone one I've talked with said that it is sent to your doctor first, then they'll "release" it onto their portal. I had a horrible experience with LabCorp, and despite my doc having called me last Thursday, my results still aren't on the portal. I'm going to have my doc send any/all bloodwork to my work's on-site clinic for processing from now on.

@dogmomma096 the portal said it was sent to my doctor. But it showed up (unreleased) on a Saturday. So of it was sent to my doctor that day i wouldn't have actually known. I emailed my doctor's nurse on Monday and she said she would call me when they got results and I got a call the next day. They probably had them on Monday but were too busy to look at them or call, especially since the results were normal.
@MamaK225@Beauxbaton Thanks ladies, I was just wondering if it was normal for me to not be seeing anything in the portal yet (like not even a “pending” result that the draw even happened) since it likely hasn’t been done yet (draw was 4 days ago). Sounds like it should show up but not be released to me yet once it gets sent to my doctor, so hopefully early next week and then I can actually get the results a few days later?
The panorama test came back with good news on baby's health. We just found out we are having a boy and both in total shock. We have two girls and we were just expecting another girl. Now I can't stop obsessing over names - I feel so ill prepared on boys names!
Waiting is the worst. After our first non result I was so hoping to have the results back from our second draw already. No luck. Hopefully by Monday!! (Also frustrated the holiday was thrown in. I’m sure that’s why they aren’t back yet)
I know everyone has posted mostly great results here but need to see if anyone else is going through this:
Took my first NIPT at 10 weeks, and results were inconclusive, as there wasn't enough DNA.... did a redraw at 12w6d... and there still was not enough. Fetal fraction was 1.7%!! Due to low fetal fraction, results are high risk for trisomy 18,13 and triploidy. Doc keeps saying "This is not a diagnosis, just that there was insufficient amount of DNA." Sending me to high risk for appointment this week. Has anyone else been through this or have any advice? I'm a bit drained and trying to focus on work, but keep coming back to this....
@addisong So sorry you are going through this! I don’t have any personal experience, but I wanted to send hugs!! I have a friend who tested high risk for Down syndrome and went through all the counseling and her son was born without any genetic issues. Is it too late to retest with another lab or could they do an early anatomy scan??
@addisong I haven't had that happen, but I'm so sorry that you've got this added stress right now. I did some quick googling and it looks like that you're more likely to have a low fetal fraction if your BMI is higher and/or you're African American. I also found a 2014 study that says low fetal fraction isn't statistically linked to a trisomy diagnosis or poor outcome. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3938419/
I hope MFM gets you in for an appointment very quickly and you have answers soon. Sending love and prayers your way.
@thirdtimesacharm2019 Thank you for the hugs!! The high risk doc that is scheduled to do my anatomy scan next month is who I'm seeing this week, so perhaps?! @mwmiller4 Thank you so much for the research & prayers! I'm going to read that article now...
I am scheduled for Wednesday morning, so hopefully we have some news this week! xx
@addisong I had the same issue with our first test coming back with low fetal fractions. I am currently in the torturous wait for the results of the second test. So, while I still don't know this outcome I feel for you. It is so stressful not having the answer you want, let alone ANY answer! I hope that your MFM can help get some clearer information to you... Thinking of you.
So I called my OB to get the status of my test results to see if they were in. THEY WERE IN!! But they weren't sure if the doc was still in since they cant release them to me since they hadn't been reviewed yet. OMG SERIOUSLY?! (I may or may not have told the receptionist they have instituted a new form of torture). Now they are closed for the day. You can be sure I will be calling first thing tomorrow morning. gah!
@velvetskyy ugh I hate when they say that. They are your results! You legally own them and they have to disclose them to you regardless. It seems to silly they have to give them to the doc first.
@addisong I went through the EXACT same thing with my first pregnancy...my daughter (now age 2) is completely healthy. I was offered an old-fashioned quad screen as an alternative. It doesn’t test for exactly the same things and isn’t as accurate, but the low-risk results gave us some peace of mind.
