Anxiety waiting for NIPT

[WolfMother326]

I am not normally an anxious person but I've been having a very difficult time waiting for private NIPT results, which were delayed due to a machine going down at Harmony's lab. I should get info tomorrow (hopefully), but I've been having such intense anxiety that I can't sleep, and have had several nightmares.

I know everything will be ok either way, but I am having trouble getting grounded. Does/has anyone else felt this way? I'm 36, so slightly high risk but I have no reason to be worried.

I’ve not any experience yet, but I will be opting for the harmony test due to my age (38) and the fact that alone will automatically make my combined screening results very high.

I’m dreading the wait. My anxieties around this pregnancy are already sky high after going through several miscarriages to get here.

Which company did you go through to have the NIPT done?

Thanks for replying @Moominmiss. I went to the Birth Company in London, and had the Harmony test. They said usually results come in 3-5 days but due to the problem at the lab it has been 8. Not that long to wait but I'm struggling.

I felt the same way and just wanted to have earlier reassurance. My '12 week scan' is not until almost 14 weeks, and I felt I'd rather know sooner. I regret telling some friends and family now, having not gotten the results yet.

Wishing you good luck with your pregnancy x
