Oh yay Nacire!!! From memory Harmony is one of the popular ones for accuracy and what a bonus its covered by insurance [emoji3] When you get the blood draw maybe you can find out if you can have the results emailed instead so you have the option of when to look?

Also meant to say to make your appt as close to 10w or in that week as you want to be sure there's enough of bubs genetic sample that can be separated. Just thought I'd mention it as you are told you can get it done between 9-11 weeks?? (I think that's right) but the pathology place I booked at said to make sure I'm at least 10w. I had the draw done at 10w5d :)

Pbn3 - My obgyn office also has another similar test depending on insurance. The other one he said you only had to be 9 weeks, but the Harmony I had to be 10 weeks. I will be closer to 11 weeks at my scheduled appointment. I think I will tell them not to tell me gender if it will be included on my online patient account. Your right I can just look when I'm ready :)
How cute Lola! On zulilly Now or yesterday at least they had smocked dresses for $30 I got one [emoji51] super cute! No one wears them here much but I'm addicted from our time spent in Louisiana [emoji7]. And I've caught myself buying blue also. It must be a popular color for baby girls. You can always just put a massive pink bow in her hair [emoji4].
Dancing I hope it worked for you! You need to find out gender [emoji6] it's a great surprise either way.
Iwant4kids hope you feel better soon I don't wish sickness upon anyone! I've been doing 1 whole unisom before bed and 3 vit b6 throughout the day and I've felt so much better last couple days!
NACIRE can you update us here on your scan ? I can't seem to keep up over there. All I know about any of the nipt is gender [emoji4] are you finding out?? And I think harmony is one of the more well known tests.

Pbn - I hope y'all can work it out!! Thinking about you.
Lola- I still can't find it, think I'm going to quit as it's stressing me out and there's no other reason to think something's wrong. It was just so easy before, always in same place, but that changed Thursday night, it took me forever to find was higher than normal so I'm thinking I should've just stopped. Thanks for responding though. I have an ultrasound Friday but that's SO far 🤣

Hey everyone, ughhhh I had a nightmare that I woke up to my undies soaked with blood & it just seemed so real. I was thinking, how can this be, this can't be happening!! It was awful [emoji20] I've also had a dream I was having a girl, then dreamed I was having a boy. DH dreamed we were having a boy...we shall see!
Ash-YES-a big pink bow would be perfect haha [emoji166] I'm putting a pause to the shopping purchases since I'll know very soon, BUT maybe I'll think positive & fill an online cart too lol!
Nacire-awesome that Harmony is completely covered by your insurance! It seems that there are a ton more PROS to having the test! Not sure what the false positive statistics are, but I'd imagine slim. Mine (Counsyl Prelude) has been estimated to be $140 with insurance, $349 without. I'm guessing it's similar to Harmony. They wouldn't book my appt until 10 weeks 2 days. The genetic specialist said Counsyl is highly accurate & he's never seen a false positive result for trisomy21. However, he has seen the gender results be incorrect, but not often...which freaks me out a little bit! He explained something called mosaicism, which means the Mom or baby has cells with different chromosome contents. I have an online account & I can see that they have my sample...then I'll be able to see when they're done, but it won't tell me the results...I have to wait for the call ughhh!

Kat-glad you have your appt coming up! I know what you mean about Friday feeling so far away! I have to wait until Tues or Wed for my results & even that feels like forever! I'm sure your baby is just hiding well or moved to a diff spot, but sooo annoying when they make it difficult on us!!
Congratulations Ash. I am so happy for you.
Lola- Found it finally [emoji28] really low this time. I'm done until after my appointment! Baby is just moving all over the place and I freak out [emoji85] I'm so excited you'll know this week, I agree with Ash though, I really think this is your Sophia [emoji175] I wish my genetic testing could have been done earlier, not sure why they are making me wait until 12 weeks! I'll feel so relieved just to hear healthy.
I feel like girl sways have been more successful than boy sways lately!!

Kat-I'm so glad you finally found it, but don't blame you for taking a break! I freak out too! Thanks for thinking girlie, I'm loving all of the girlie positive thoughts!!! I will be the happiest girl in the world if I hear healthy girl!! It would just make my summer...pay day Friday & I'm itching to splurge!!! Not sure why you're having to wait either? But coming up soon!!!! You had a great sway so I have everything crossed that this is your boy!!!! [emoji170]
I've been trying to figure out how I'll cope if I hear boy. For me, the comments are only a small part of it. I have always been so girly & truly just want that experience of raising a girl...doing hair, getting all of the girlie things out that I've saved from my childhood (dollhouse made by my dad etc). And not just that...experiencing all the girlie stages in life-prom, wedding, baby and whatever her interests may be. While it's true, a daughter will be her own person & may not be interested in any of that, BUT at least I have control of the hair & outfits in the baby stages ;) I thought...well at least I have nieces & then there's grandchildren...BUT it really wouldn't be the same for me!! I have so much to be thankful for & feel bad for even wishing so strongly for something less important than health. I will need support if it's a boy, but at the moment I refuse to believe I'll hear that unless I'm told otherwise. And I'm rambling as usual....
