I had it done because of my age. The genetics dr gave me the results about a week later and we didn't find out the sex. Very glad to have the test done - it gave me great piece of mind during the whole pregnancy. Billing was a little annoying with it but I'd definitely do it again.

I am over 35 and had it at 10 weeks. Just a blood draw at the OB's office. She called me about 8 days later and said everything looked good. We are team green this time but of course they also ask if you want to know the sex.

I had this test done almost a week ago (last Tuesday). A choroid plexus cyst was found during a routine u/a at about 17-18 weeks, so my doctor recommended a follow level 2 ultrasound a week later. The cyst was still present, so while the doctor didn't seem concerned bc my early screenings came back as low risk for any abnormalities, we chose to have the materniT21 blood test done to (hopefully) just ease our minds. I have another followup u/s this coming Tuesday due to concerns about my cervix...not sure if they will have my test results then or if they will end up calling me later in the week. We're keeping our fingers crossed and thinking positively...

@bunnylovesbear: Sending good thoughts and prayers your way! Keep us posted.

I had it done since I carry a balanced translocation between chromosomes 18 and 20. I am at high risk for having a child with Trisomy 18 and 20, had 2 miscarriages already because of it.

- Our genetic counselor recommended it back in September for any subsequent pregnancies, in addition to IVF w/PGD.
- We asked for it and OB agreed and blood draw was in their office. I believe the test I got was called Verifi? But it's the same thing, cell-free DNA.
- It took just about a week, maybe a little more.
- We already knew the sex because of the IVF w/PGD, but yeah, the report included it.
- It gave me peace of mind, but we already knew with 98% accuracy that everything should be OK due to PGD. This alongm with NT and sequential blood screening made us feel 100%. I think that especially if I had recurrent losses and DIDNT end up going the IVF/PGD route, or was of AMA and worried, this is a great test to get. What I don't agree with is when people just get it to find out the sex. But, I'll keep that diatribe to myself No one here has said it, it's just a general opinion that I felt like sharing.

@SweetiePie: Results are in, and all is well!! I'm so relieved!! Thanks for sending the positive thoughts my way!!

@SweetiePie: nope!! We're Team Green!! It was pretty hard to stay true to that knowing there were some pretty solid boy/girl results right on that paper, though!!

@littlek: I had the test done a few months ago and it took a full two weeks, I had it done on a Friday and I got the results two Fridays later.

I had one with my 2nd LO, it wasn't an option. I guess it's routine now in the office (a change from 2 yrs ago).

@littlek: we got our results exactly one week later...and it was the Tuesday after a holiday weekend. (Memorial Day) I feared the Monday holiday would delay the results, but I guess we lucked out. My blood was drawn on a Tuesday night...maybe 4ish? I had a follow-up appointment the following Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived at my appointment, they told me the results came in that morning, so the doctor was able to go over them with us after my ultrasound.

@littlek: It took exactly a week to get ours, but I think that's largely due to the fact that the lab who processes the results is about 3 miles away from my doc (no joke). I hope you hear soon-I was so anxious during my wait, imagining the "what ifs." FX everyone here has super healthy babies!
