Hi girls!
I had my MaterniT21 test done last Friday (2/14) first thing in the morning. First I was told 5-10 days, then I was told 7-14 business days!! I am trying REALLLLLLLY hard to be patient but I am about to go crazy here!! How long did it take for your results to come in?? I am in the US. Thanks!!
It's usually 2 weeks!
Most people I know had to wait 10 days minimum. My friend got hers back at 11 days just last week. Another right at 14 days.
Ugh! That seems like forever away! Is that business days or calendar days????
I don't want to give you false hope, but I got mine back in 7 calendar days. Then again, that was back in late 2012, it might be taking longer now.
Update! So I don't have cell phone reception at work on Tuesdays & Fridays - I am a school social worker and go to three different schools. I got a voicemail about 20 minutes ago from my OB's office saying that my test results are in - everything is NEGATIVE!!!!:cheer: Of course, their office closes early on Fridays so I wasn't able to call back and hear the gender!! I have to wait til Monday now but will update as soon as I know!! Crossing fingers for :DD:
hooray for negative results !! Can't wait til Monday!
Yeah for negative results, hoping you hear girl on Monday :)
eek!!!! How exciting! I will have to pop on here on Monday to see what you find out! Fingers crossed for pink!
yaaay for your results! I am waiting for mine too, and it's nice to hear that yours came so quickly.
I took this test with a prior preg last year, and it took about 2 weeks to get results, but I tested positive for a trisomy, and I think that can take longer. It seems that with a clear negative they will only use the first vial of blood, whereas with an unclear or potentially positive result, they double-check the second, which tends to take longer.
Good luck Kell.
Were you able to get ahold of them?

Yep, I got a hold of them yesterday - results are consistent with a boy.
I'm sorry, kellbell. I mean, I'm so glad for you that your little guy has normal chromosomes, but I'm sorry that it wasn't what you wished for, and that your daughter won't have a sister (for now). (For all that it's still special and wonderful that your son will have a brother.) It makes total sense that you'll be mourning the loss of the daughter you'd dreamed of for a while, along with your happiness about your new son... :bighug:
Thank you sugarNspice. I do have a lot of different feelings right now but I am hopeful that I will be able to find peace and connect with this little man growing inside of me. DH and I decided that we will probably try for #4 in a couple of years but in the meantime, I just want to enjoy the three that I have. I have a doctor appointment on Friday where we will hopefully hear this little one's heartbeat and I am looking forward to just being pregnant and feeling him move. I have always enjoyed being pregnant once I get through the sickness phase so I'm hoping this will be no different.
I really want to make sure that I make my best effort for #4 when the time comes and then at least I can say that I made a great attempt.
Sorry you didn't hear girl!!! Glad you are doing ok and that you have a chance to try again. Hope you have a healthy pregnancy! :)
