Mat21 moms...who's finding out the sex early?

  I had my blood draw last Wednesday. I'm awaiting my results and when they come in (they will mail them if they are normal and the sex is redacted) I'm going to make a special trip to the clinic and have them put it in an envelope and seal it. Then DH and I can open it together.

  We are. Just had blood draw yesterday. Going to get results a week from Monday.
  
  I wanted to be surprised again like we were with our first, but DH really wants to find out.

  We are.  I had my blood drawn a week ago today, so if I don't hear from them by Thursday afternoon I will be calling for the genetics results.  Our last loss was a genetics issue, so I am much more excited/nervous to get those results back verse finding out whether Baby R is a boy or girl.  That is just "icing on the cake" for us really.  We won't be telling anyone until we tell my parents this Sunday though. :-)

  Just got my results back today. We had our blood drawn Friday Feb 28th but the hospital didn't send the blood until the following Monday. So it was back yesterday, a week after it was it was actually sent out. We found out we are having a boy! We did Panaroma, which is the same type of test as MaterniT21. I totally wanted to know we didn't care about the sex and were just wanting the baby to be healthy. Once they said all results were great I was then I couldn't wait to hear boy or girl

  @1983lindsey Congrats on a healthy baby and a little boy!! 

  
  

  I am tempted to call my OB this afternoon but know it's probably too soon...I don't want to be a pest.  Might give them a call tomorrow just to check in!

  My results took a full 7 business days to come back. I was also told if the lab receives the blood on a friday they do not process it until the following monday. So it all depends on when it was drawn and sent out!

  7 business days for me would be Friday I think, since today marks a week since my draw...if you count today, then tomorrow is 7 days.  So maybe I'll wait til Friday then to check in.  Gah.  So impatient!

  I didn't take Mat21 I took the Verify test, but we found out early. We've known since 12 weeks that it's a boy.
