I figured whatever happened had already happened and wouldn't affect how we went forward, so I didn't want the stress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392874 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 17:36:25 +0000 starlitsky 2392874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did Verifi because my insurance offered that one. I also did the NT ultrasound and will be doing the 2nd trimester blood screen as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392819 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 16:49:14 +0000 BabyTsMom 2392819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MaterniT21. The counselor at the center said that they tests are all pretty similar and recommended this one for insurance purposes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392687 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 15:29:49 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2392687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Verifi was the blood test our office offered. I think the 3 you listed are similar, just "brand name" &amp; either the Dr or insurance company will dictate what is used/covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392630 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 15:08:02 +0000 littlebug 2392630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MaterniT21. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392628 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 15:06:39 +0000 autumnlove 2392628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Verifi, it was covered, non invasive and I wanted to know the sex early. We did not have any risk factors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392435 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 13:56:04 +0000 pwnstar 2392435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember if it was Harmony or Verifi, but I did early blood screens, the NT scan, and an Amnio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392383 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 13:38:02 +0000 BandDmommy 2392383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bee_McGee: I had CVS with my first pregnancy. It wasn't bad at all. Just don't look at the needles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392314 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 13:10:10 +0000 autumnleaves 2392314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The genetics counselor said materniti21 was the best option with my insurance compared to the similar tests so I went with that. I didn't get amnios or the other genetic tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392274 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:54:21 +0000 Bee_McGee 2392274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time I had amnio, this time I'll have CVS. I don't care what the %'s say - I need a hard yes or no. Plus there are soooo many things that would not turn up on a blood test. Also I'm 39 and would definitely terminate for several issues so I just don't feel comfortable taking chances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392260 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:47:06 +0000 Mamasig 2392260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my 2nd I didn't do any testing. I only had an anatomy scan. With my 3rd, I had the Maternity 21 test. But really I did it to find out the sex early and insurance covered it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392239 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:32:01 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2392239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Harmony test got messed up for some reason (if I remember correctly). I did another test, and it went fine. I did not do an amnio or anything more invasive because my test results came out great. That said, between me and DH LO has a ton of genetic diversity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392238 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:29:06 +0000 MoreCoffee 2392238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: With my first pregnancy I did not do blood testing before the NT scan. The NT scan was not good. I did the blood draw for Mat21 right after that appointment and then had to wait another couple of weeks for the results. It was nerve-wracking! </p> <p>I did QNatal at 10 weeks this pregnancy and had the results in advance of the NT scan. QNatal is what my practice offered. I believe it's sequenom's MaterniT21 test that was purchased by Quest Diagnostics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392212 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:03:31 +0000 californiadreams 2392212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: that makes sense and i would likely do the same in your situation. I just didn't see the point in doing extra testing simply because i turned 35. Maybe if i was closer to 40.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392210 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:03:14 +0000 BandDmommy 2392210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: personally I'd rather be safe than sorry and that's why I choose to do testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392197 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:55:14 +0000 winniebee 2392197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I have never done the 35+ blood tests before...always just NT scan and the blood test that goes along with that. Unfortunately my last pregnancy, we picked up on a downs marker at the anatomy scan so then we had to do more bloodwork....which was all fine in the end, but next pregnancy (since I'm already 35 and would be 36+ at delivery) I'll just do the early blood work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392164 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:28:54 +0000 californiadreams 2392164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didn't do any extra testing. it was offered, but i didn't feel the need. i got pregnant at 34 and turned 35 a few months later. Had there been something that showed up on the NT, i likely would have done more testing then, but it came back fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392162 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:27:55 +0000 BandDmommy 2392162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Verifi because my insurance covered it. I've also had MaterniT21. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-testing-did-you-have-at-35#post-2392159 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:26:49 +0000 winniebee 2392159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are so many options available....did you do Maternity21? Harmony? Verifi? Why did you choose that test? </p>
