NIPT at Window To The Womb/ First Scan

6 replies

Jak803 · 26/11/2023 20:53

wondering if anyone has had experience with getting the NIPT at Window To The Womb (a
also known as First Scan)?

I noticed their prices are much cheaper than other places, but weirdly they don’t advertise NIPT on their website. It came up on a Google search and directed me to their website. The number is the same as their local clinic, and it all seems to be legit, but something about them not advertising it (and it’s cheapness) has me a little suspicious.

Interested to hear if anyone has had experience?

I had an NIPT test with them around £375
terrible experiences AVOID at any cost
1st I had my appointment to draw blood sample , simply the lady who tried 3 TIMES couldn’t do it!!! I have never experienced this before as my vain is very clear. Not only this but for the last try she tried on my wrist which was the most painful experience I have ever felt that i was about to faint and asked her to take it out asap. They apologised!! Offer 2nd day appointment with a more qualified lady !!!
called after a week saying with a very cold tone you baby has a tr 21 high chance! Im at week 14 Its my 2nd baby and Im shocked shaking with their report. Now I have no idea if they r using a good lab or something like the lady who took the blood . I ve contacted the midwife and now I have to do an amino test ( not very safe test) to find out if the baby has cromo 21 for real or not.
hoping for the best
but in my experience I regret going to them

I've just had an NIPT blood test with them (Reading branch - the branches are all franchised). Lovely experience in the clinic, waiting on results. Worth checking out reviews of each branch as they will be different.

I phoned and asked what lab they are sent to, they are sent to Concepto Diagnostics

We went to the Bristol branch for an NIPT. It wasn't particularly notable in any way but did the job. Somebody took my blood, they took our details, told us when to expect results, and I got a phone call about a week later. It was negative/all clear. I wouldn't say there was any 'extra' care offered or attention; it was fairly to the point but I didn't mind this. I would guess they are all a bit different and even within one branch two people might have very different experiences depending on who they see.

I wasn’t looking for some extra care tbh … but I wasn’t looking to experience 3 attempts to draw blood and the last one was very painful from my wrist. Next day they offer me another lady who was good did the job perfectly fine.
the result call I got is from private number, but they insist we wouldn’t call you from private number !! when I called back asking for my results to be sent to my email. I told them I had a call from a private number regarding my results they answered me NO we wouldn’t call you from private number I replied but they had called me please check on your records. I hold into the line , and the men on phone confirmed that they do have the result and they will email it .
and they did
