Came back fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865770 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 11:07:58 +0000 MamaBear87 2865770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it at 10+3 and it came back with enough fetal dna. It did take almost 2 weeks so idk if that had anything to do with it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865709 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:50:53 +0000 AngelicOne 2865709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it with my son, but don't remember exactly when. It did come back with insufficient data &amp; I needed to repeat it, but I was on vacation, so it was like 2 weeks after the initial test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865707 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:44:20 +0000 periwinklebee 2865707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The earliest my practice would do it is 11 weeks, so I did it at exactly 11 weeks :silly: Results took about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865703 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:29:44 +0000 wrkbrk 2865703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Yes no harm in waiting! I took it at ten weeks because I was there anyway for an appointment. I had to wait maybe another two<br /> Weeks after getting the initial call that it was a boy for results that all was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865701 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:22:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2865701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did it, but my friend did it on the early side, even though she told her doctor she wasn’t sure about her dates and had a long cycle (so it was really probably earlier than they said). Came back inconclusive and caused a lot of stress only to be normal later. She’s definitely not obese. (Fittest person I know). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865700 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:18:15 +0000 ElbieKay 2865700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it earlyish and got results for my twins at 12w on the dot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865699 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:17:18 +0000 yellowbeach 2865699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I opted for earlier - think I was 10w3d. I think it depends what you plan to do with the results. If god forbid they come back concerning (which happened to me), earlier gives you more time to make decisions, which you could need depending where you are. If positive results wouldn't change your plans at all, then I'd say go either way. But I have a VERY skewed experience, but every day was important in keeping options open in our situation. Sorry to be a buzz kill. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865696 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:07:36 +0000 LAZB 2865696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: that makes me want to wait I think. The extra wait must have been tough!<br /> @pachamama: that’s what I find strange too, why do they advertise 9 weeks? I figured 10w3d would be fine if I could technically go at 9, but now I don’t know </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865693 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:57:49 +0000 pachamama 2865693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: 🤣 that's funny<br /> What I don't get is panorama advertises that you can get it at 9 weeks which seems pretty crazy. I would think 11w would prob be fine if you were super anxious. I had to harrass the Dr for results, they took like 13 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865692 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:55:38 +0000 wrkbrk 2865692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: I did! Ten weeks on the nose and it came back insufficient data. They were able to tell me the sex but I had to go back for a second blood draw to confirm all was fine. Interesting that you mention the weight. My doctor didn’t mention to me that there’s any correlation but I definitely need to lose a good 20 pounds (and did then as well)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865689 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:49:12 +0000 LAZB 2865689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: decisions decisions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865686 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:48:12 +0000 raspberries 2865686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Same, actually - I'm just on this side of normal on the BMI chart (maybe because I'm short with big boobs? :silly: )</p> <p>I totally understand your hesitation - I think I'd still do it at the earlier time just because I'm so anxious in early pregnancy. If you think you're capable of waiting another week though, I think the chances of having definite results just gets better the longer you wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865685 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:47:53 +0000 LAZB 2865685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: lol, apparently I commented on that thread, I just looked </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865684 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:45:30 +0000 skinnycow 2865684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not panorama but I took verifi (progenity) at exactly 10 weeks and it was totally fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865682 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:43:09 +0000 LAZB 2865682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: interesting! I don’t remember your thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865681 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:42:33 +0000 LAZB 2865681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: hmmmm. I’m marginally in “normal” even though I definitely don’t seem obese, so it gives me pause </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865680 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:42:00 +0000 pachamama 2865680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked the same thing here on HB and everyone encouraged after 12w. Also my OB wanted me to wait until at least 12 weeks. Not worth it to have to redo it. I think I went in at like 11w6d. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865679 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:37:45 +0000 raspberries 2865679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it at 10w5d the second time around and the results came back accurately. I also have a friend who took it at 11w and it came back inconclusive, although she would qualify as obese as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/panorama-when-did-you-take-it-and-did-anyone-have-insufficient-dna#post-2865678 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:28:23 +0000 LAZB 2865678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t remember when I took it with my other kids, but I want to say close to 12 weeks. This time I’m tempted to take it earlier, and you are supposed to be able to start taking it at 10 weeks, but I’m afraid if I do they may not get sufficient dna.<br /> I have a friend that had that issue, although she is technically obese (although I wouldn’t call her that, but by BMI she qualifies).<br /> Anyway, would you take it at 10w3d or wait until 11w2d? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1941119 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 13:08:34 +0000 LindsayInNY 1941119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lazypanda: That's reassuring!! I think I need more flowy tops... Will hide the bigger boobs too, LOL!</p> <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: Haha, no. Just showing in my head ;) I like to be prepared though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1941088 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:54:41 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1941088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't hide it from my work because of safety concerns. I had to be put on light duty ASAP. (I work in a jail.) But TBH, I didn't even really pop at all until around 16 weeks. Are you showing already? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1941056 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:42:08 +0000 MrsKoala 1941056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Scarves! Seriously long scarves. That's how I hid my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1941030 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:30:20 +0000 lazypanda 1941030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm 15 weeks &amp; still hiding the bump at work, and it's definitely not an easy task. What's worked so far is the belly band over my suit pants, flowy top, suit jacket unbuttoned &amp; a longer scarf which somewhat hides the protruding bump. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1940999 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:17:45 +0000 cascademom 1940999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, just like last time (referencing my post above), I'm not really hiding it. I'm taking probiotics which I think is making the bloat more manageable than before. I definitely look big after a big meal or at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1940990 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:14:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 1940990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: Oh, believe me, I'm trying!! DH is probably annoyed with me talking about them. When they were little-ish to begin with, I'll take what I can get!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1940979 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:10:45 +0000 Snowdrop 1940979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: ha I couldn't help but play the boobs up if I'm being honest :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1940908 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 11:45:40 +0000 LindsayInNY 1940908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: I'm noticing that it tends to be after larger meals but more so at the end of the day.

Just sick constantly and didn't think to dress in a loose shirt today, as I was in a rush, so I had a noticeable little bump. A coworker mentioned it and I'm a horrible liar... Oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-ways-to-hide-your-pregnancy#post-1940011 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 18:26:10 +0000 babycanuck 1940011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm so excited that you bumped this lol I'm so stoked for you </p>
