We had the QNatal genetic/chromosome test done last week and got our results today. Both babies are 100% healthy with no issues which is such a relief!! We also learned that they are both girls!! We are over the moon excited!!

@jlinke926 congratulations on your healthy baby girls! How exciting!

If you don't mind me asking, which test did you have done? We have our consult with genetics in a couple weeks and will have the NT scan, and I believe the Maternit21, but I'm not sure since we are having twins if it is considered to be as accurate. I'm anxious to see what the genetic counselor recommends, but in the meantime I'm trying to do some research.

@sldp123 - I know there are numerous kinds/brands of test, but the one we did was called QNatal. All of the results I got state they are greater than 99.9% accurate, even with multiples, so thats good enough for me for now. They said I could go a step further and do an amniocentesis but we aren't thinking that is necessary.

As far as the gender, that is only definitive if it is 2 girls. But they didn't find a Y chromosome, so they are pretty confident it is 2 girls. They did say there is like a 0.0001% change that one of the girls has 3 X chromosomes, so they wouldn't be able to pick up a Y, but she said it is so rare that arent even worried about it.
