We're going to set the money aside that we would have spent on an early scan and then go on a little shopping trip after we do find out gender. I'm hoping to spend that money is pretty dresses!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Oh yeah, nervous about results. I really am more worried about health of baby than gender. I never have had gd as I wanted boys with my sons. I don't think I'll be upset if boy, but could be fooling myself.
Welcome jamieshalon, I've added you to the front list, best of luck with a little pinkie to compliment your gorgeous boys:)
i think everything will be fine strawberrymom! WHat else do they check with the test?
They check for 3 trisomies (13, 18 and downs syndrome) and gender and is 99+% accurate. The phlebotomist was great and actually asked if I wanted to know gender (I have heard some other drs offices give people a hard time about that). They also said they would call right away and seemed excited to be doing the test for me.
How did Mymadori find out its a boy so soon?
Im going to to the combine ultrasound with bloodtest to see the risk of down syndrome , preeclampsia and some more i think. I was not planning on doing that but my doctor said it was standard and I had preeclampsia in my last pregnancy so it could be good to see how big the risk is that i get it again.
I dont think they check the gender with that blood test though, that has to be a special one, no?
Alyssa- mymadori went HT so that is how she is lucky enough to know
Kiara- Yeah that is a different test than what I did. I did that with previous, but one of the things that goes into that evaluation is age, and as I am older I knew it would give me an icomplete answer for me. I know the test I did is now conducted in Europe under the company name LifeCodexx. They check fetal dna in your blood which tells gender. I am glad your doc can check for preeclampsia as that is scary. Did you deliver early last time?
