Harmony testing - where is it available?

[livingzuid]

Hi all,

I've been doing some research into the non-invasive test options. I'm not in the UK but coming home for Christmas and considering getting the Harmony test done then as it's proving such a faff to find alternatives in Europe. For reasons I won't go into the invasive testing is not an option for me but I think at 35 it's sensible to check it out. I also need to see if it's still possible to do harmony as I would be around 16 weeks by then.

I was looking and the only clinics I could see were in London, Manchester or Birmingham. London would be the most convenient (even better if it is not central) but still not great and I wondered if any of you had been to clinics along the South Coast or preferably Westcountry?

Alternatively if anyone did travel to Europe for harmony, materniti21 or similar please let me know what you thought! England seems to be the cheapest option.

It's all quite bewildering thank you very much. All suggestions and recommendations welcome :)

Doh will repost in antenatal tests

Innermost secrets in Cardiff do it. Hth.

In case anyone searching happens upon this thread, here is the thread with the answer that there is one in Bristol.

Thanks penguin.

Just back from a very useful chat at the hospital where I am now doing the downs combined test today (bloodwork) and tomorrow (scan). The hospital recommended a clinic in Brussels that does the Harmony test for 500 euro including scan. I'm in the Netherlands which does not offer the test yet so may give that a go instead. If anyone fancied a weekend away then Brussels could be an option :)

And thanks Ali :)
