What NIPT did you choose?

[konapoppy]

If you opted for a NIPT, which one did you choose and why? I recall that they don't all cover the same things (not sure if that has changed in the last two years).

They weren't offered for me on the NHS, and in any case, with A I wanted conclusive results from a CVS. However, if I was doing it over, I'd have wanted to get one that covered chromosomal micro-deletions (like the one V had) as well as the major deletions and trisomies. Since you had PGS, it's unlikely you'd be looking for anything major, so I think getting one that covers micro-deletions would be beneficial.

The only one offered by my OB office was the Harmony so that's the one we did.

This was after we had done genetic carrier testing of ourselves at the RE's before starting treatments.

I did Maternity21 with DS and Counsyl this time. Both times it was just what the doctor recommended. i didn't really look into other options.

Same here.

We did Materniti21 with this baby after a high NT measurement at 12 weeks.

I don't think we did anything with C, but his NT scan was perfect and not as much was offered even 3 years ago.

Panorama for the same reason--OB uses that one.

I don't know if this is a concern for you, but Progenity isn't a covered provider per my insurance, which I didn't know at all. My EOB said I could be on the hook for up to $2k, but my doctor's office said if we get a bill, it's negotiated to $99. Significantly better, obviously, but I really wasn't expecting to pay anything since all my testing with the RE, etc, has been covered thus far. So another thing to keep in mind!

My office only offered InformaSEQ and it had to go to LabCorp.

I didn't. I wanted one but my OB said it wasn't justified in my case (30, low risk, no genetic history--already tested that at the RE). His NT scan and quad screen were perfect.

Thanks for this. We are meeting with the genetic counselor on Friday, so I wonder if they know how much it will cost based on our insurance.
