NIPT Test at Ultrsound direct

Hi all
I have an NIPT test and scan booked this Thursday at Ultrasound direct. I wondered if anyone had any experience of this with that company - in particular how quickly did you get your results and did they email or call?
Any insights into NIPT in general also welcome!
Thanks!

This depends on the lab that is contracted to do the blood work - they might be doing Harmony or Vision test (or something else). We got results from Vision within 5 day, but they do say up to 2 weeks.

I had a NIPT with ultrasound direct. I got the results via email 5 working days later. They did say of it was bad news then they would phone before they sent the email.
I hope all goes well X x

One word of caution regarding what you're getting: when we got to our appointment we were given a leaflet according to which we were going to get results for a Vision test that included chromosomal aneuploidy (abnormality of sex chromosomes e.g. for girl it means instead of XX they either have just one or three chromosomes). However when we got results it turned out they were not included on a service offered by Ultrasound direct. So do remember that you are getting Patau, Down & Turner + Sex, nothing more even if the leaflet says so.

Thanks all, @Epli it’s only the 3 I’m after as I understand the test isn’t so reliable for other issues… but thanks for the heads up.
