No problems at all, just what my doctor recommended. The pre-screen is actually often used before people even get pregnant however we did mine after I already was. My hubby also got that one so we could see if we were the carriers for anything off the charts. The other is the one I wanted the most that tested for the Downs Syndrome, that was also done at 10 weeks and took about 7 days to get back. That is also when we found out we were having a girl :)

It depends on the test, the screening for genetic testing that tests if you are a carrier for over 120 things does not show gender, however if you are having the screening for downs etc then yes it will also show gender. I had both :)

Yes my wife and I had it done also. And it also provided the sex of the baby. Congrats to you all. We are going to be first time parents.

I chose to have the Panorama genetic test done at 12 weeks and we had results within 7-10 days. We did choose to find out the gender. It's a girl and the gender was confirmed at the 20 week ultrasound.

After the age of 35 more testing is required, this is completely normal. The test results can take from 5-10 days depending on how busy the lab is. Don't worry this is all routine.
