Tuesday is when I go for my trisomy test and 2nd u/s. I don't know if we will be finding out the gender with this appointment, but the sooner the better. I am doing my best to keep hubby from buying everything he can already. Once we know if we are having a boy or a girl, there will be no stopping him.
Did your dr/midwife suggest this test or did you specifically ask for it? My midwife wants to do a trisomy screen but it involves an ultrasound and a blood test, with no gender reveal. THEN if that comes back with any markers she'll do more testing. I think I'd rather have the free-cell DNA one that I think you ladies are talking about. Thoughts??
I'm having the cell free DNA test and ultrasound done in 3 weeks when I will be 12w. It'll test for chromosomal abnormalities and tell gender. I will get results in 10 days. I'm going to a genetics lab for the test as my dr at Northwestern doesn't offer it. My insurance doesn't cover it but dr suggested it as I will be 36 years old at delivery.

Thanks!
It's the cell free DNA screening that I did. I was suggested to do it because I'm 37.
