Has anyone done the free-cell test for chromosomal abnormalities such as down syndrome? I did my test last Wednesday and I am waiting on the results. My doc said to call on Friday to see if they are back. The test can also confirm gender. I did the Natera panorama test. I am so on edge waiting to make sure the baby is ok. Its nerve wrecking. Anyone else take this test yet?
Re: Free-Cell Blood Test(Down syndrome)
Im a little concerned because I was not offered an NT scan with this. I wonder if they are planning that depending on the results of this blood test.
Cost was $140 without help from insurance and I'm under 35. This was decidedly the best option for us.
So, my test results were sent to my doctor 10 minutes ago. BUT my doctors office is CLOSED as of 2 minutes ago. They couldn’t tell me if they sent real results or inconclusive so I have to wait to call my doc office tomorrow. My patience doesn’t work well under these conditions.
I, personally, wouldn't say it's a HUGE cause for concern, but it's a bit concerning....
Just my completely unknowledgable oppinion. I had my test because of past losses and age. Yay being 35!
I appreciate you sharing what your decision would be, and understand completely where you are coming from... but 'something wrong' indicated a limited understanding of what the test looks for and the wide range outcomes it indicates from healthy to special needs to non-viable. Trust me, it would absolutely make a difference. There are women on this board who have had to make the most difficult decisions of their lives based on the best available medical information. Please show sensitivity to what they've been through.
I actually know someone who was told the baby would more than likely have down syndrome, her little boy is now 2 and is healthy no down syndrome. False positives do happen.
