Looks like it came out around a year ago or so? They want me to take it cuz I'm over 35.</p> <p>@pui: yeah not sure if my insurance covers it yet. If not, will be 250, but doc thinks they will cover it cuz I'm over 35.</p> <p>@BakerBee: I figured it was by chromosomes but wasn't sure.</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I told the doctor if they told me from the beginning we could find out the gender, I wouldn't have argued about not having it lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445581 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:13:36 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1445581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My doctor prescribes it (or similar ones, depending on insurance) for anyone over 35... or who wants to request it. I was impatient and wanted to know the gender so I did it :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445576 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:12:04 +0000 Andrea 1445576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it done because my ultrasounds were inconclusive. I already knew the sex from the ultrasounds so it was just further confirmation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445466 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:41:11 +0000 LBee 1445466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have it, as my insurance requires you to have risk factors for it to be covered. </p> <p>@pui: This was my understanding as well. They aren't guessing based on an ultrasound, they are counting chromosomes / analyzing their DNA. </p> <p>If your insurance is going to cover the test, I would totally go for it. But I hate this waiting part - I feel like I'm in this awkward transition between out of the first trimester, but not knowing the sex of the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445439 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:36:22 +0000 pui 1445439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about the Harmony one, but it sounds similar to a test I was offered. They just draw blood right? Unfortunately the test cost an extra $900 where we are so we decided to pass.</p> <p>My SIL got the test though and found out the gender of her baby at 10 weeks! The test checks chromosomes, so the gender you get from it is completely accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445433 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:34:54 +0000 bushelandapeck 1445433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have the test with DS, but it was after we already knew we were having a boy so I can't comment on whether or not it was accurate. We don't have the option of having the test at my OB's office unless there are risk factors present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445420 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:33:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1445420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't offered to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-the-harmony-test#post-1445394 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:29:29 +0000 tequiero21 1445394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently, it's a new test that tests trisomies and what not. Supposedly more accurate than nuchal. I just found out we can find out the sex! Did you find out the sex? Was it accurate? </p>
