I had my NT scan today. When it came to the bloodwork, I was given choice as to where to get the lab results from. A local company, and one in New York. Both were covered by my insurance in roughly the same amount so cost wasn't a big factor. Would just take longer to get the results from the lab that was further away, since they have to mail them.
The NY lab, whose name I was given, but don't remember supposedly has a higher than average accuracy rating for trisonmy 18, about 95%. Both labs have about the same accuracy rating for DS. At least according to my Dr.
Has anyone been given such a choice? I'm not sure how the detection Levels would vary in different labs, since they should be looking for the same things I would hope. I opted for the lab with the better rating, and now I'm anxiously waiting. They wouldn't give me my measurements today without the blood work, but I looked at the monitor and they were 1.6

. But man, that blood test worried me to no end!! So don't stress to much if the numbers don't look so great. Do further tests if that is what you want. The bloodwork is just numbers thrown in the computer.
