I have literally been losing sleep over this test worried that something could be wrong. I'm down 5lbs. and can fit in my regular clothes (they're a tad bit snug but not too bad until evening comes when I get more bloated). You cannot tell I'm pregnant at all and I was incredibly sick all Saturday morning, no clue why. This has just been the weirdest pregnancy for me and I was hoping for some reassurance from the Harmony test that all was well. I slept like crap last night worried over the results and the gender. Sigh, sorry to complain I just cannot believe that I have waited 3.5 weeks and now it's available but I can't view it and my midwife didn't call me with the results. I hope I can sleep tonight, I'm so exhausted. :(

Has anyone heard the new zika stuff that's been on the news? It's pretty scary stuff and making me a little nervous for this summer. I'm in the Midwest so I know they have a lot further to travel but still scary.

Yeah from the investigation we have done, they think the issue might be the chemicals they have put into the water in those areas to kill the mosquitos that has caused the encephalopathy, rather than the virus which has been around for 70 years before all of this.

Crd, how insanely frustrating! I hope that you get the results soon.

The species of mosquito that carries it does not live in my area so I'm fine that way. However, I'm still waiting on the results of my Zika test from two months ago when I got back from Costa Rica. It was originally supposed to take two weeks to get back, but now the CDC is saying four months! So far everything looks good with their heads and brains. Everything is measuring proportionately to the rest of their body measurements. I'm not particularly worried anyway. There was a report out that when they studied past outbreaks of Zika around the world the instances of microcephaly ran at roughly 1% of those infected to as high as 4%, which is still quite low.

Some are blaming it on a larvicide, but it's been used for over a decade all over the world and there are not increased instances of microcephaly there. Plus, humans don't have the proteins and pathways that are targeted by it, so it wouldn't have an effect. At least per credible scientific articles.

So, I finally got a call from my midwife this morning with my Harmony results. She has no idea why I would get an email that they were available and then me not be able to see them in the web portal and was very kind and apologetic. The results are that I am the lowest possible risk for any abnormalities and...it's a GIRL. I'm so incredibly grateful that everything is ok with this little baby, of course I'm happy that we are expecting a girl also but the biggest weight on my shoulders was that the baby was healthy. So, so very blessed and I will continue to remember that even though I got sick again this morning. This is by far the weirdest pregnancy of all of them!!

Congrats crd! That's wonderful!
