We're not going to do the blood test. We're going to wait for the 20 week scan, so around the end of January we'll know. How are you guys affording these blood tests?? Even with insurance, I'm not able to.

@trythebleucheese For over 35 year old mothers who are at higher risk of chromosome abnormalities, the test is generally covered by insurance. My insurance covers 100% of all recommended tests. I just have to pay my deductible, which I was going to have to pay no matter what next year so might as well get the test to make sure everything is okay.

My insurance covers it at 100% @trythebleucheese Im not over 35 or high risk. It was just included under the plan that I have.
Just got off the phone w/ our Doctor. It's a GIRL!!! And all other results from the Panorama came back as low-risk. DH and I are over the moon!
We're announcing (that we're pregnant) to family in a couple weeks and friends around Christmas, then we're doing a cake/sex reveal on NYE with a huge group of friends that we always celebrate with.
Such an exciting time and wonderful time of the year, with all the holidays and such. Plus, off to get our Christmas tree in a little bit!!
First time mother and im actually scared and excited all at the same time. Haha. My next appt is Dec 2 and im hoping my Dr lets me do blood work to find out what it is
Just got off the phone with the nurse, in tears, good ones! Had panorama (I'm old), we're having a healthy baby girl! I have a 17mo DS, was secretly hoping for a girl, were done after this:)
We're having a girl!!!! I got the call from the doctor that everything looks good from the Panorama test and it's a girl. All the old wives tales, ramzi method, and Chinese calendar said boy.

So annoyed. I talked to my doctor today and I am having my scan on Friday and they won't do the blood test. Did you guys request it?
Hi they will only do it if you are high risk or over 35. I only knew about this test through a friend who was pregnant. It has a few different names, here it is the MaterniT21 test. Nobody who answered phones at my obgyn office had the slightest clue what I was asking for. They have a high risk dept and a genetics doctor who do this test. I had to be very aggressive about it.
So far I'm team green but I'm doing my blood test on the 16th and my panorama on the 21st I will be 13 weeks but how accurate are these tests when they tell you the gender? I know they find out through the blood but for some reason I seem sort of skeptical. I hope we find out before Xmas that would be a great gift. Due June 27th hoping for a girl.
@ashtastic2011 most who know around 12 weeks have had a blood test to check for chromosomal abnormalties (panorama, harmony or materni-T21 tests) which also reveal the sex. These tests are generally performed on high-risk women (usually those 35 and older). You can ask and see if you are covered for it. Your OB will likely do an anatomy scan around week 20 which *often* shows the sex. Otherwise you can pay for an elective scan between wks 14-18. Hope this helps!
Entered up to here and I have a favor to ask. Can we please keep comments on this thread to just the sex of your baby? I have been trying to keep up but sometimes I can't get on the computer for a few days and it's a pain to weed through all the comments to find information that is to go on the sheet. I know it may seem silly but it would make things a lot easier for me to input. Thanks ladies.
Materni-T21 finally came back after I called and pestered. Baby is negative for all abnormalities and has a Y chromosome! So overjoyed right now. (edd is 6/17/16)
Just got a voicemail from my doctor's office. Looks like my first will be a baby boy! She said all the genetic tests came back good to go which i am thrilled about. Such a relief! DH was hoping for a boy so he's grinning ear to ear and calling all of his buddies to brag.
Our EDD is 06-06-2016 and we are having a GIRL! Found out yesterday! My husband cried .. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. We couldn't be happier
What is the earliest you can find out by ultra sound. I'm 12 weeks.. Christmas is in what roughly 3 weeks. It would be great to know for Christmas. I did not qualify for that testing at 10 wks. My insurance is a partner or something with the clinic and I would have to pay the remainder of my deductible which is $532... little much especially when it starts over again on the 1st of the year. I would love to know though. I have a gut feeling it's a boy and so does my hubby.
