@AMCsquared yes there are several private business type places in my area that do it. I think I went to a place called Heavenly Ultrasound or something. They offer all sorts of different packages from early on in pregnancy, and later offer 3D/4D ultrasounds. Some places give you a little bear with the baby's heart beat recorded lol.
Has anyone else done the panorama screening? If so, how long did it take for your results to come back? I'm on day 7 and freaking out bc I just want to know the little babe is ok, and finding out the sex is pretty exciting as well
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks waiting for my results from Counsyl. The website says our results are in "Clinical Review" and will be sent to our provider when ready. Anyone who went through Counsyl know how long this phase takes or if they email you the results at the same time they send to your doctor? I'm getting impatient but I know the holiday weekend probably delayed everything. TIA!
Got my harmony results after 6 business days. Test results were great...and we are having girl number 2! I am excited since I grew up with a sister. My husband says he wants to try for a boy, but I told him that isn't happening (I'm done after 2, not to mention our house is only 1100 sq. ft.)!!!!
Now we have to find a good name! Our DD was so easy to name (after DH's beloved grandma who had passed away) but other meaningful/family names are either taken or not our style. I guess we have some time to worry about it.
i just found a private ultrasound place near me that offers 3d + gender reveal at 16 weeks for $90. soooo temptedddd. DH says we should just wait for the 18-20 week US. ahhh.
Me: 31 DH: 32 DH since 12.2009 Married 08.2013 EDD 12.2017
@FakeFinn r u waiting for your 20 week us or thinking of visiting a private place
@AMCsquared We're not sure yet. I'm leaning towards a private place around 18 weeks. It will be fun seeing the baby again and then they can confirm it at the 20 week uktrasound. Also, then they can do all the medical checks at the 20 week ultrasound without us anxioulsy awaiting if it's a boy or a girl. Also also, what if the baby isn't cooperating at the 20 week uktrasound? Also also also, with my SIL the private place said girl and at the 20 week ultrasound it very clearly was a boy (no,we won't be going to that place).
@AMCsquared Yes, absolutely! He's most definitely a boy! My BIL was happy he had stopped my SIL from going all out shopping for girl clothes. So it's definitely on my mind and I'd rather go two times, to make sure-sure (although, on the other hand, a boy should be hard to miss).
My OB suggested the genetic testing due to the fact I'm in my mid 30s, we did the Progenity Innatal testing. They did my blood draw at 10 weeks, 1 day. It took 11 days to get the results, but my doctor called Friday afternoon to report everything was in the "normal" range (yay!), and we are team boy.
@spotsanddots we did the Verify by Progenity, not sure what the difference is. Had the test done at 10w2d on 5/24 and I'm still waiting. Grumble. BUT yay for good results and team blue for you!
@spotsanddots and @ngarciabyu Our Dr. does the Innatal/Verifi (The name changed Dec. 2016) and we did the blood draw on 5/31... so I guess I shouldn't expect to get a quick result like some of the other tests.... Grumble indeed.
@abcola, @ngarciabyu is right, tests are the same, it was just a renaming. The wait was brutal! I had my draw on May 22, my doctors office reported the results June 2. Fingers crossed your results are in SOON!
And the results are finally in. Baby is healthy and we are TEAM BLUE!!! we are so excited that DS will have a baby brother and I will have another baby boy to dote on

@spotsanddots I couldn't believe it but not 20 min after posting I got the call with the results... It was 5 calendar days... and we're Team Blue! Still trying to wrap my head around it but glad I can process in my own way. We're going to have a gender reveal party for our friends
Soo im waiting for my blood results from the nt blood work for genetic testing and gender but i had a ultra sound today (13 weeks 3days) and asked for them to just kinda see if they could guess since i still have a week and a half til we get results and the tech refused as if i was asking her to deliver my baby right there. I was very disappointed just because its my first pregnancy and therefore anxious and excited i knew it wasnt a gurantee at this time but i thought she couldve atleast tried instead she spent the whole time trying to teach the new nurse how to do a ultra sound on me.....*rant over* ....but anyways me and papa bear want a little boy but i will love a little girl all the same guess we have to wait til jun 14th for blood results
@tammarrasjellybean the tech for my NT for DS1 was like that. They were just like there is no way of knowing that early and wouldn't even take a peak. I just took their word for it. With DS2 I jokingly asked the gender at my NT scan and she was like well let me see. She looked around and was like, it's a boy. So matter of fact. I asked how sure she was and she said 99%. And she was right. It may have to do with each techs comfort level, and policies of each practice. I'm sure some doctors offices have gotten flack for wrong guesses and just won't do it until the genitalia is fully developed closer to the anatomy scan.
@ngarciabyu yea probably right im a total youtube and bump junky cuz its just me and my partner trying to navigate pregnant life by ourselves so when i seen all the videos and early announcements i got our hopes up but because the people who do the US are a seperate company who just partner with my dr.office and do the paid pakage thing so i think it also had to do with money in a not so apparent way because they didnt give pictures or copies either they encourage you to get the 3d 4d pakage and to purchase their disc not a big deal becausw jelly bean was waving and bouncing all over the screen so seems very healthy with heart rate of 153 so thats all that matter to us
Initial CVS results are in! No chromosome abnormalities and it's a boy! We'll know if baby is affected/a carrier/completely unaffected in about 3/4 more weeks!
@tammarrasjellybean I don't think it was unreasonable for the tech to say no. 13 weeks is super early and can you imagine the earful they'd get if they guessed wrong every time someone asked?
@vvitchhazel very true i wouldnt have been mad but i see how others would make it difficult for them to play guessing games with such things. im a bit stubborn sometimes
Ugh! I am just dying to find out. I don't want to rush this pregnancy as it is my last one, but at least 4 people have had dreams of me and saying I was having a baby girl. I have 2 boys already, and they are the best! I am just really hoping for a HEALTHY baby girl. I have to wait until July 17th to find out!!!!! SO. FAR. AWAY!
@AMCsquared In the veryyyy beginning I had two dreams, one finding out I was having a girl in an US and the another of us having an baby girl in our home. It was awesome when we found out it was true!!! Hehe but I never had a feeling either way. I had friends who would ask- what's your intuition say it is? I would always say I had no clue. Bc I didn't. Lol.
@mrsmom812 Hang in there! I'm rooting for a healthy baby GIRL for you too!
