I mentioned this in Irish's post but I am so excited that I had to do a separate one. We had our NT scan last Monday and the doctor told us the babies look great. All markers measured correctly and Baby A stopped mooning the camera long enough for us to get some good measurements. The sauciness has started early with that one.
we had Mat21 testing done. Since I'm carrying twins, they can only tell me the presence of abnormalities and chromosomes not which one or both. I got the call this morning and had to find my husband while the nurse was on the phone. We both worked from home today. He was in the restroom. I yelled that office was on the phone and he said "well, this is awkward" but still wanted me to yell the results. No trisomies were found! I was so relieved that I started sobbing. Then the nurse said she had a gender result. We're having at least one boy!!! With the test, we can only tell the presence of a Y chromosome! My husband shouted for joy from the bathroom! We both think there is a girl in there too. He came out a second later all happy. He was stunned that there is a boy since he thought there were two girls. I had a dream about my son a couple weeks ago so I expected a boy. We are keeping the knowledge that there is a boy to ourselves until the gender scan in a month. It will just drive everyone crazy guessing the other twin's gender. So thrilled and I have breathed a huge sigh of relief. Here's to the second trimester!

Re: Mat21 results
This is great news! I'm very happy for you! I can't wait until I can breathe easier after hearing good results.
Did they ask you first before telling you the gender? Because we really don't want to know and I don't want to see it on a report or something
They asked us upfront if we wanted the gender tested. They won't test it automatically. We did want to find out, so we told them to check the box. If you don't agree to it, it won't even be tested.

Congratulations!
Also, for the poster who asked if they ask first about gender before telling you, my OB's office did. however, I didn't opt in or out on actually finding out the gender when the test was done. In fact, I think I might have said we don't need to know. But then the nurse asked me when calling for results.
