I will have to ask my new doctor. My previous doctor said no

 

[blessedmomma]

I probably wont be getting the verifi done. I was informed that the only way they really do it is if there is high risk indicated with the nuchal translucency scan and first tri blood screen. im certainly not hoping those will be high risk. the good thing is they scheduled my nt scan for sept 11th which makes me 13+4. the closer you are to 14 wks the more accurate the nub theory is. the specialist who does mine is the top one in the state. I had him last pregnancy and he was right about gender last time. I was only 12ish weeks then too so it would have even been less accurate. I will definitely be asking again

Yes! I just found out that of May 2013 they are now doing the Harmony test for twins as well I have an appt with my doctor at 9w6d and the test says for 10w and later so I am going to ask for it.

That's weird... I wasn't high risk for anything, just 35 years old.

 

[~Brandy~]

How long did it take you to get the results back alaskan?

yeah I have heard other dr's doing it for that too. my nurse told me they don't usually do it like that here. she said I would be able to talk to the specialist about it, so there is a chance. but I don't know how much of a stink I want to raise if he doesn't want to do it. when I reminded the nurse I was 35 and would be 36 soon she didn't think it was advanced maternal age. she said I was still on the cusp. boo.

I had the blood draw the afternoon of the 13th and they called me the morning of the 26th. On their site it says 7-10 business days

Wow..that sucks I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard if you give birth as a 35 year old or older that makes you eligible. I'd be mad...You should have a right to have that test...

How are all you ladies doing/feeling these days? Quiet in here

 

[blessedmomma]

I am feeling a lot better. ms is starting to let up. still exhausted. cant wait til I get to see the baby next week

[alaskanwhitec]

I'm so happy my morning sickness is completely gone, I got a little energy back and feeling great.

 

[Butterfly67]

That's great the ms is clearing up for you two, hopefully I am not far behind. I have my NT scan on Thursday

 

[Nolagyrl1913]

Hi Everyone.....

I have my next appointment tomorrow and I hope I get to see my peanut again - not sure if she is doing an ultrasound or the doppler. My doctor recommended the Harmony test so I think I will have my blood drawn tomorrow.

Hope you all had a great Labor Day! I enjoyed the time off from work!!!

 

[blessedmomma]

I had a fab labor day. ate too much though and about made myself sick! finally started feeling better and they brought out the cake DH about had to roll me home

 

[alaskanwhitec]

Ha! ^
Now that the morning sickness is gone my new hobby is eating...I'm so darn hungry. Just snacking all day long...I would gladly choose food over right now, lol...I can feel the weight gain will commence this trimester for sure! Tee hee..
