Harmony Test - how long till results

Hi there,

I had the blood test and scan for the Harmony test last night - has anyone had one and if so, how long was it until you received the results?

We were told 7 working days, but it would be amazing to know by the weekend as it coincides with a family event which would be perfect to announce the pregnancy.

Would love to hear if you have experiences - sometimes these companies under promise so they can over deliver.

Cheers

I sent mine to the lab (UK based) via special delivery on a Thursday afternoon, they arrived Friday morning and the doctors PA called Wednesday morning at 8am with the results. I was told 7 days.

Big factor is if the blood went to a UK or USA lab as the latter takes longer. Unfortunately I don't think you'll get them before the weekend but you never know!

Ah - I don't know how my bloods got to the lab as the sonographer at the babybond took them and presumably sent them off. You would think they would use a courier or something wouldn't you? Doesn't blood go off?

Anyway, I am just being impatient, so can wait. Thanks for posting.

I went to a manchester clinic, (BabyBond) told 7 working days, went on a Saturday and was rang the following Wednesday with the results and emails exactly after the phone call.

sweetchilli77 · 25/01/2017 13:17

Forgot to add, the woman told me they get sent to London Lab, used to be somewhere in USA, a courier service took them that day.

Sparklyuggs · 25/01/2017 13:33

If you call and ask babybond they'll tell you. Mine went royal mail special delivery which is fine for blood transport. It's frustrating isn't it? I was so desperate for the results too, although I got them at 11 weeks so still wanted the 12 week scan before we told people but I loved knowing the risk was low and we found out the gender Smile

CatAnnoyance · 25/01/2017 13:59

I had the test done on a Tuesday night and we got a phone call the following Monday with the results. We also got the results in writing a few days after that.

Mine will take 2 weeks but I am in Asia and they sent it to the US I guess.

RonBurgundysMoustache · 25/01/2017 14:46

Mine were sent to the USA and I received my results in 7 days...

I had my blood taken at about 6pm on a Monday evening, the clinic sent the samples to the London lab so that they received it Tuesday lunchtime. I got my results on the Friday afternoon just as we were packing to go away for the weekend. Such a relief, the wait was horrible and we were expecting the results to take until the middle of the following week so it was a great surprise.
Hope you don't have to wait too long, good luck!

Catlady100 · 25/01/2017 15:47

I had mine done on a Saturday and results came Friday morning x

JournosAreLazy · 25/01/2017 15:49

Mine were sent to a London lab and I got my results in 7 days rather than 7 working days from recollection.

Libbylove2015 · 25/01/2017 17:25

Thanks all - fingers crossed then! Much appreciated.

7 days as opposed to working days here, I guess theybsay 7 working days in case they are very busy or need to retest
Hope it all goes well, it's quite a stressful wait x

kep1979 · 25/01/2017 19:13

I had mine on a Monday, they were sent to the US, and got the results the following Monday.

Elkalv · 25/01/2017 21:16

I did test in London on Friday and received a call from doc assistant following wednesday night!

sunshinesue · 26/01/2017 13:15

I had my test on Saturday (babybond). Not heard yet. Hope we both get positive news before the weekend!

Browncurtains · 26/01/2017 14:11

Mine took about 5/6 days.

Libbylove2015 · 31/01/2017 12:40

Aaargh still waiting! It's worse than exam results!

Have you had yours Sunshinesue? I am checking my email every ten mins just in case they can't reach my phone.

I had my scan and test with babybond on Sunday, they told me that I will just get an email with results (in 7-10 days) unless there's something on the results they would need to discuss with me first. I'm now going to panic if they call me! 🙈

lookingforthecorkscrew · 31/01/2018 17:29

My friend had the harmony test and it got the gender wrong! She was all prepared for another daughter and when they passed her newborn DC all she could see was a huge pair of nads!

WineAndTiramisu · 31/01/2018 18:07

Has it done on the 23/9 (Saturday), got emailed the results on the 2/10, that was via babybond, so was nearly 7 working days

EarlGrey7 · 06/02/2018 11:58

My results came through yesterday (6 working days) and all good! Hooray!
