Radiance, have you checked with your insurance provider to see if they'll cover all or part of one of the non-invasive blood tests like the panorama or the Materna21? I have a friend in Indiana who had hers completely covered.... I think it takes about 10 days to get results and they're 99% accurate or something like that so you'd have your answers much sooner than the 18-20w scan.

BIG hugs. I know what you're going through because I got bad results with my last pregnancy. I think mine were 1:276 or something. It's awful waiting for the ultrasound. Remember though - you have a 349/350 chance of having a perfectly healthy baby in there.

It wasn't just the DS. My PAPP-A was 0.12 and my hCG was 0.42 both under the normal line and they both are markers of a genetic mutation. I'm praying if baby has something it's not life threatening. My SCH doesn't add anything good to this either

My insurance won't cover any and a lot of the test we are doing are a few thousands. I'm looking into my moms work insurance as I can be added and I've heard they pay things like that. I was going to try and get that test done and there are a few others we are doing that's worth looking into. My insurance won't because of my age :/

It definitely hit me today, still in a lot of shock.

I did Harmony last time, Panarama this time....if your insurance does not cover it I hear the company is great on writing off what you owe if you can not finically afford it. Hope that helps!:thumb up: I think most girls paid like 350 tops.
 
Based on what castaway said I found this for you Radiance (since I'm sure you have enough on your mind in case you want to follow up on this stuff):
From the Panorama site: "How much does Panorama cost?
Natera understands that prenatal testing is an important decision for expecting mothers and their families. For this reason, Natera strives to make this test affordable for all patients and has developed a variety of programs to assist with paying for this test. For information about options for patients on Medicaid, Tricare, patients without coverage, or who may need assistance with paying for Panorama or the Panorama Microdeletion Screen, please contact Natera at 650-249-9090."

You can contact the Harmony test guys M-F at Toll-free: 1-855-9-ARIOSA (855-927-4672)

I found this for California in general - I don't know what a prenatal diagnosis center is but it might save you some money?: https://www.acog.org/About_ACOG/ACO...er_2013/California_Prenatal_Screening_Program

And sorry if you feel like I'm trying to push this on you - I'm really not. I'm in Canada and the amount you guys have to pay for your care sometimes is insane, so maybe this is just an alternative you haven't had time to check in to yet. Anyway, I'll leave it at this and wish you all the best. Hugs.
 
Thank you both :) I'll keep everyone updated on what's going on.
 
Scan today! Really nervous now, haven't seen the baby since 9 weeks and still don't think I've felt him/her move yet so panicking something's wrong. It's not until 6.30pm so have to wait all day :-/
 
Good luck Allstar! I'm sure all will be great. Sorry you have to wait until 6.30 though - that sucks! :hugs:
 
16 weeks for me today.. Avocado size. Haven't used the doppler in a couple of days, but hoping everything is going great. Can't believe I have come this far. :happydance:
 
Happy 16 weeks Whigfield! :)

Thanks ladies, scan went brilliantly! Baby kept curling up and wouldn't straighten out to get a good measurement so she had to measure his/her head circumference in the end to get a date. Dates exactly matched the early scan we had so due date is still 11th October. So so happy :)
 
Yay Allstar! So glad your scan went great! :happydance: Did you manage to get any pics?
 
Got this one. It's crazy how much they change in just a few short weeks :)

Radiance, why are you thinking boy? Just a feeling you have?

I had an u/s at 7w and one at 11w and I have yet to take the pictures they offer me. I have a scan next week at 15w and I don't know if I want a picture yet or not. I'll be past my m/c date by the anatomy scan in May, so I may wait until then. I'm not sure. Who else (in addition to Castaway) has yet to make it past the point at which they had their loss?

I take the photos but I guess I am still a bit detached. I won't be past my milestone till 33 weeks....by then we will be setting up my delivery LOL I am surviving by going one week at a time this pregnancy, so far its helped.

My Supervisor asked me to go to HR yesterday to "figure out when my leave will begin/end" I just looked at her like, really? I am 14 weeks this Friday and we are discussing this? It sent me in a tail spin. I did go and talk to her and we went over it but she told me to not worry we can figure out paperwork later. I didn't tell my Sup but I put in a vacation request for the last week of August, I am going out then! :haha: I will use two weeks personal time and then 4 weeks of FMLA time and we are doing the induction either 38/39 weeks.
 
Oh wow, another gorgeous baby! :happydance: I get boy vibes from your pics too Radiance!
 
I'm rubbish at guessing boy or girl from scan pics. People have been saying boy to me too?
