I'm currently 13 weeks and took mine on November 13th and am still waiting on the results. Of course, most importantly we want to know that we have a healthy baby but the added bonus of finding out the gender is killing me!!! Wondering how long it took for others to get their results back. I'm thinking the holiday is going to delay the process...sigh

Currently it is available only in USA and Germany.
I think it's the matter of months if not days before it comes to UK.

I was reading on another forum it takes usually 6-10 business days for the results to come back.

I'm in the US(California to be exact). I'm on the 10th business day but i think I lose one b/c of Thanksgiving...tick tock tick tock!! I still can't believe they're going to tell me the gender over the phone. My husband said "are you sure you're going to be ok if you're alone and they say boy?". I guess that's the downside of this test...you most likely find out the results alone!

I got the results yesterday and baby is healthy yay! What I didn't know is that I actually didn't take MaternT21, I took another test that serves the same purpose called Verifi and this diagnostic test does NOT return gender results! Gutted:( When I asked why they don't use MaternT21(keep in mind I go to the top perientologist in Los Angeles so I presume they use the most cutting edge testing) and they said they stopped using MaternT21 because it was yeilding incorrect gender results!!! Who knew? At the end of the day we're happy for a healthy baby and will go to an early scan place in a few weeks to find out the gender!
