Hi ladies!

My Panorama test is Friday and NT scan is Monday!

Oh so exciting!! How long does it take until you get your panorama test results back?

I am going to book my nt scan today for some time in the next 2 weeks. Exciting! I also have to book my first appointment with my private OB. Super nerve wracking!

A girl on another thread said results take 7-10 days. I feel like my dr's labs are slow so probably will take 10 with my luck! I'm already thinking of ways to spill the beans when I find out the sex!

I'm going to book mine for the 13th of February (Friday the 13th - good idea or bad?! Eek!) and my husband is going to take a sick day. I should be 12+1. I'm wondering if I should possibly put it off a week, but I haven't had a scan since 6+4 and I'm DYING!

I would wait until 12+5 if you can

This may sounds dumb but what is a Panorama test? And how do you get to find out the gender so early?! Super exciting

It is a test that is typically only offered to women that will be over 35 at time of delivery (me) or women who are high risk for certain chromosomal abnormalities/syndromes. It is just a blood test, but I think it has different names in different places? I think they look for a "y" chromosome in your blood. If it's there, they know baby is a boy, if it is not, then it's a girl!

So I guess the tests that check blood wouldn't necessarily work with twins? I am going to a specialist in a week and a half because of the twins and my high blood pressure. My OB said they would be doing genetic counseling/testing. I am totally against the invasive procedures and any chance of loosing these babies now, so I guess I am probably just out of luck?

Hmm, not sure how twins would work with the test? I guess it could show if you had at least one boy in there lol. I'm sure blood tests will still show if either baby is at risk for anything and then you'd go from there, like with a single baby.

The only other free date I can go is if I am almost 14 weeks along! I just can't waittttt

Wonders- so exciting that everything is happening so soon! You're having the nt scan pretty early, is that due to your age or something?

Praying- I know that the blood test for the nt screening doesn't get offered for multiples because it isn't reliable, and I'm guessing the same goes for the panorama?

I am starting to get really nervous for my nt scan. We don't have a family history of ds, but I know the scan is not very reliable... Im so scared about it being positive and having to get the needle in my stomach, and if I am willing to do that due to the risk of miscarriage. But at the same time, I have to ask myself, could we responsibly care for a child who has a major disability (not necessary ds, but others)? All of these questions are so scary I have had dreams my whole adult life that I would have a heavily disabled child, ever since I was a teenager. It's kind of haunted me. I told my mum about it once, and she said that maybe it's the worlds way of preparing me for it (which freaked me out even more). I know I will love my child no matter what, but I am so scared. I know this sounds silly sorry.

The perinatologist said I could get the test anytime between 10w3d to 13w5d so they scheduled me for Monday...I'll be 11w3d.

 

[wonders10]

IF it came back as higher risk...would it change your mind about the pregnancy? If it doesn't, I wouldn't even bother with the CVS or Amnio and the risks that come with it. Are you getting the blood test with it? I hear that increases the accuracy.

 

[Praying4BB]

No Lala, it's not silly at all! It is a scary thing to think about and something that no one is ever prepared to deal with. I am sure I would be very sad to find out something was wrong with my baby-- so much more sad for them because what parent doesn't want their child to be happy? It would never change my mind but I do worry sometimes about how "forced" my whole experience has been (with fertility drugs, constant monitoring, progesterone supplements to keep my body from rejecting them) and I feel like if I was meant to have children I would have just had them naturally. DH thinks I am crazy when I start talking like that, but he is such an optimistic person by nature. He never doubted we would have children, even when I was struggling with my issues. I saw where he wrote in his journal that the "critters" are already healthy, strong, and beautiful (this was after the 6w4d u/s)... I wish I could have that kind of faith.

That's my current concern... I have my Harmony test results coming in the next few days, and also my NT scan on Wednesday. I am 38 so I am paranoid my age will make a significant difference.

Before my blood tests at 6 weeks I was worried I had harboured HIV for years without knowing, now I'm worried about my baby being deformed. It never ends!!

I'm exactly the same!! Was so paranoid maybe I had HIV or syphilis or something else that I didn't know about hahaha I was stressing out so much I cried and vomited, pictured ways I would tell my DH if it happened!!!

 

[wonders10]

Ok I am really bummed right now. I went to the doctor for what I thought was Panorama bloodwork. Turns out it was a different test (similar to Panorama), but it does NOT tell the sex of the baby. I have my NT scan Monday and she said sometimes the perinatologist can see things to get an idea, but so early its not definite of course, so I will probably have to wait until my anatomy scan later on to find out.

 

[LittleLala]

Oh no wonders how disappointing!!!!

 

[wonders10]

I'm really confused because online and a lot of girls on another thread had this test and were able to find out gender. So I called and nurse called to say she is not really sure but we'll know in 2 weeks either way.

 

[Praying4BB]

I hope so!! It seems like it would be too easy to do!

 

[Praying4BB]

Hey ladies, I know it's late and I should be in bed, and (for pete's sake!!)STOP Googling!! Because I have worked myself up into a bit of a panic. My RE and OB wanted me to stop my progesterone suppositories at 10 weeks. I took my last one last night so this will be my first night without it. After 8 months of bleeding through most of my cycle while TTC, I got my first BFP after taking these starting 4DPO and I truly believe it made the difference. Now I am so worried something is going to happen. I absolutely trust my RE and OB so I know I shouldn't be this worried, but I am I wish I could stop being so silly but I've had such bad dreams lately too. If y'all could send positive thoughts my way tonight (and prayers too if that's your thing) I would really appreciate it.
