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?
-
It wasn't offered to me.
-
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.

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.
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.

I didn't have it, as my insurance requires you to have risk factors for it to be covered.
@pui: This was my understanding as well. They aren't guessing based on an ultrasound, they are counting chromosomes / analyzing their DNA.
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.
-
I had it done because my ultrasounds were inconclusive. I already knew the sex from the ultrasounds so it was just further confirmation.
-
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

@T.H.O.U.: wasn't around when I had the twins 2 years ago? Looks like it came out around a year ago or so? They want me to take it cuz I'm over 35.
@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.
@BakerBee: I figured it was by chromosomes but wasn't sure.
@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.
