Your welcome it's just that little piece of mind I panicked at first when I was contacted by the hospital to have the harmony test , I went ahead had it its was probably the most worrisome time out of my pregnancy but glad I had it done it gave me that option of checking and then preparing myself just incase without the need to have any invasive tests which I wouldn't of had done due to the risks involved. Thankyou I hope you have a happy pregnancy and everything goes smooth sailing for you :)

We had harmony test done here in Canada. Although most tests are free this was not covered and cost approx $800 cad. For us it was worth it as we had a positive screen and having the non-invasive test was a better option for us than amnio. The test came out negative and gave us peace of mind and we also found out the gender. Our son is 14 months and healthy. I'm pregnant again 11 weeks and would consider doing the test again.

My 16th week was the most stressful period of an otherwise easy pregnancy.
Being pregnant at 38yo, my genetic markers tested a high 25% or 1-in-4 risk for spina bifida while negligible markers for the other 3 genetic disorders for which the test measures even though I took prenatal vitamins religiously since we started TTC 5 years prior. Despite the test results, my son came out 100% healthy.
This is one of 2 tests that only measures the chances that you could have a child with genetic abnormalities.
I went by pure faith and a good sonographer by refusing all other invasive tests like amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling due to my history of multiple miscarriages.

I had it last year the wait to hear back was the worst bit for me but it was very accurate and I have a healthy one year old boy I had it when I was 39 yrs old. I'm currently 9+5 at the moment and 40yrs old but I won't get the harmony test this time round as I moved house and they don't offer it where I am. It's good to have piece of mind without having to have an evasive test done
