Finally got my results back from NT screen a couple of weeks ago - all low risk! I was so nervous that even if the baby was fine I was going to get a false positive from the vanishing twin. Huge sigh of relief! Now just a short 6 week wait for that anatomy scan!
@cato99@Twinkiedoll My doc uses Natera too. I can't wait to get our results! I'm pretty sure it's another girl, but for the last week or so, I keep thinking it's a boy, no idea why.
@wabash15 - I think I'll have that conversation with him ... I really would like to know (not that it makes a difference) because then I can internalize with some other pronoun than It. Just feels creepy to me.
@hey_clever_girl - Dying @ baby chubbies I also don't know how to "boy," but I would have the ONLY boy on my side (there are 4 grand daughters) and we had the first girl on DH's side (there were 4 grandsons and since then another granddaughter). So it would be fun to have one of each since we are both the oldest, but the last to begin having children.

SO I'm really irritated. I posted a few days ago that I called my OB office because my first tri screening hadn't been scheduled and I was worried bc I was almost out of my first tri. Monday they told me to wait until my appt yesterday to schedule it. even though I thought it was weird I was like OK what do I know. Yesterday at my appt my dr was like wait, we haven't scheduled that yet??? and was like have them schedule it for this week. (TODAY ONLY) I get up front and am like she wants it scheduled for this week, and the front lady is like well youre actually too late to have it done... ill go ask the doctor.. well doctor is now with another patient so she cant ask and she said she would call me - that if I didn't hear anything by noon today to give the office a call. Its almost noon so I have to call but I'm so irritated one because this is why I called on Monday and now its too late and I should just skip it all together. ughh.

@moon1417 - MURDER. Were you also the one who said you had to remind them to contact THEM to even get the results from the lab company and then call YOU back? This sounds bad. Are there any other OBs in the area that are taking patients? With DD, I was very unhappy with my treatment and was able to switch around the 16-week mark and it was pretty seamless. I am MUCH happier with this OB and my experience this time around has also been stellar. It just sounds like a badly run (i.e. bad communication) practice and you might get more irritation and frustrations as you progress. Just a thought

@mamak225 nope that wasn't me about the lab. I have been super happy until this mishap - as irritated as I am, I was never going to sign up for the first tri screen until I heard there are heart defect indicators.. so now I feel more guilty that I didn't push harder on Monday. I just will do the fetal echocardiogram and hope that is enough to show anything.
The doctor just called me directly - which made me feel a lot better. And she apologized that it somehow didn't get scheduled. She did send a note back to make sure that we schedule a reg. ultrasound to check out my SCH because I want to have sex with my husband lol. She didn't say that last part... haha
My plan is to just make sure I put the pressure on until everything I know that needs to be scheduled is scheduled. My OB did such a good job with my C-Section w DD , I couldn't imagine not having her for this baby too.

Had my NT today, and dr said everything looks good, unfortunately have to wait until tuesday to have my blood drawn for the Panorama and then another week for the results. ugh! Question, when people mention "soft markers", what is that in reference to? the ultrasound or the blood work?
@moon1417 if it makes you feel better, 2 MFMs at my practice told me the first trip screening shows "little promise" as an kndicindi for heart defects. The reason people are starting to think they don't because many heart defects go hand in hand with things like Downs and trisomy. Neither MFM thought it was worth the time for me to do the first trimester screening for the sole purpose of heart defects, so I didn't. And I have 2 kids with heart defects.
I didn't do any of the screening with dd2 at all because my quad screen with dd1 showed a high chance for Downs. We didn't investigate further because we were going to have her no matter what. Her A/S did not show any indication of a heart defect either, and we didn't find out until she was 3.5yo. sometimes I kick myself for not looking more into the abnormal quad screen but with what we thought was a normal AS and a few more scans down the road, we had no reason to suspect a heart defect. We didn't know about her defect in time to get dd2 checked in utero, but we do now and the current baby will get checked and have extra monitoring.
@sourlemon wow that is crazy.. what kind of heart defects? Have we talked about it before I feel like I did at some point with someone? It does let me rest my guilt a little knowing your practice told you it's not that great of a tool for indicating heart defects so thank you so much for sharing.

@moon1417 my older one had a large ASD (surgery was 9 months ago to close it). Little one has a PFO, which all babies have in utero but is supposed to close after birth. It will not be fixed and she has a few odd restrictions for her life (can't go deep sea diving, be a submariner, or be an astronaut are the weird ones).
There's some debate in the heart community whether this truly counts as a defect but our pediatric cardiologist says for sure it should be especially when looking at subsequent pregnancies.
I also have a heart condition but it's not a defect. Just a really awesome electrical problem that I can drop dead from any time. It's an understatement to say we are a heart family lol.
@moon1417 ugg that is so frustrating. Sorry your having to deal with scheduling mishaps. @lilnessi it means that if they see "abnormalities" they are associated with some of the trisomies but not conclusive for them. (so if you have an increased NT measurement or lack of nasal bone then there is a higher chance that there is a problem, but the baby may also be 100% normal) does that make sense?
AFM: had my NT scan today and all looked good. Also had my NIPT drawn... so now we wait. Though since I am team green they will mask the sex results.

@sourlemon my dd has PFO too they said it was a defect for her too. She also has pulmonary stenosis and a bicuspid aorta (it should be tricuspid). She still has a slight PFO but mostly closed, but shouldn’t cause any harm they said. But she had to have surgery at 3wks to correct the pulmonary stenosis. I have a murmur. When the pediatrician after delivery said she had one I was like yea? And thank god she pushed for an echo bc the defects didn’t show up on an ekg or any other test. Her only restriction is no heavy weight lifting.
Me 32 H 33 TTC#1 January 2016 BFP 5/16/2016 DD Born 1/27/17
I also have a murmur, as does my mom, aunt, and my grandma (did). Both my girls do, even after the ASD was fixed for my older. None of the boys in my family have murmurs so it's interesting lol. But I've had multiple echos that are normal so for me it's just Long QT Syndrome.
Just had the NIPT draw yesterday, hopefully this round isn't as slow as it was for our last pregnancy. (16 days!)
My OB doesn't do the NT scan in conjunction with the NIPT. I thought this was fairly normal last time, but I am seeing many more people saying they had both. Anyone else only have the NIPT? I kind of would like another u/s but doubt I'll get it. lol.
I asked this in the weekly questions, but also thought I'd ask here since there is a lot of talk about blood work and what not here.
Does anyone use LabCorp's patient portal? If so do you usually get lab results sooner on there or from your doctor? Or is it typically around the same time?
Mine didn't, but we were warned that an "inconclusive" result was a possibility and that it meant I probably had the blood draw too early or that there wasn't enough baby dna in the blood they drew to give definite results. They will probably ask you to go back and do another blood draw.
@Beauxbaton Your provider gets the results sooner than it gets uploaded to the website. They don't upload all results to the website for some reason. I have experience with them from when I was at my fertility clinic doing IVF. There were times also, when the Nurses at the clinic said my test results weren't back yet, but when calling LapCorp, they could tell me when the results were faxed to them. Sometimes that was helpful info to get my results quicker. Hope this helps!
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

@zamora_spin we were very clear that we were team green and we wanted the sex information masked but apparently they did not mask it when they put the results in the patient portal. Thank goodness I waited to talk to them before checking the test results... but now its just sitting there... I think I'm going to ask them to take it down.

@wabash15 & @zamora_spin - I wouldn't think it would be *that* difficult to hide that info, I would think a good proportion of people don't want to know (or are waiting for gender or anatomy scans to "be surprised"). DH told ours that we don't want to know, but I'm going to find out anyway and let him be surprised at the scan on the 28th

@wabash15 The office called me to tell me the results were good and the nurse asked if I wanted to know and I asked if she could put it in the portal so she put it in as a message. The actual report is in there too and I very carefully scrolled through part of it yesterday and stopped when I saw sex chromosomes mentioned (the part I saw said there are only two detected). Not totally sure if it says the sex on the report or not but I didn't go far enough to find out. @oklahomak I don't know! I just have been very disciplined, plus I really don't have any preference at all or any strong feeling that it is one or the other, which helps. I think we are going to find out this weekend. I have envisioned making a short video of us finding out to share with family. @MamaK225 It's definitely not hard to cover up. At my fertility clinic they covered up the sex of all our embryos so they didn't even know what we were transferring.
@zamora_spin - That was one of the reasons we didn't do PGS testing with our embryos. We had done a plethora of genetic testing, ourselves, and felt ok with any "risks" given the results and family history. I didn't feel right "knowing" when it was time to pick embryos to transfer, though DH swears *all* IVF babies are girls (we are friends with 7 couple who have been through it, and the reality is more like 50/50 LOL)

We had the exact opposite happen our last pregnancy @wabash15. We wanted to know but the nurse ticked the wrong box and they excluded the results. It took an additional 2 weeks to report them, we ended up going in for an elective u/s since we wanted to know for my birthday. I wish they would pay more attention for those who do or don't want to know. My SIL didn't want to find out and they slipped for her too.
@WinchesterGirl same! It’s really weird because we already knew DD was a girl and was low risk for at least a week by this point. And I’m going in for my NT test and NIPT blood draw Monday at 12w5d. I feel like I’m still in first trimester limbo when I should be more confident.
@MamaK225 That’s very interesting, I thought I read something once about more day five embryos being girls and day 6/7 embryos being boys. But when I tried to google I found that pregnancies from IVF day 3 transfers are close to equal boy/girl but consistently more IVF babies from 5 day transfers (and I assume later) are boys.
And we opened our envelope last night and we are having a boy!

@oklahomak I don't know! I just have been very disciplined, plus I really don't have any preference at all or any strong feeling that it is one or the other, which helps. I think we are going to find out this weekend. I have envisioned making a short video of us finding out to share with family.
@MamaK225 It's definitely not hard to cover up. At my fertility clinic they covered up the sex of all our embryos so they didn't even know what we were transferring.
