| Wow I literally came here to post this exact same question. Sorry I have no answers! I just did my blood draw this afternoon and am also curious!!! |

Mine took 9 days back in November. Everything came back normal and still lost the baby a few weeks later. I hate that I now no longer feel the test is a safety milestone

Mine took about the same amount of time, did not come back normal (basically an in-womb death sentence), sent me on a spiral, and I ended up having a perfectly healthy baby. Take it all with a grain of salt. |

It’s not a safety milestone…just tells you whether you have a positive for one of the big trisomy’s. Also, bonus of the sex.
Sorry for your loss and wish you the best. |

What wasn’t normal? Did you come back positive for a trisomy? You can do further testing to confirm for peace of mind if yes. |

Yes to trisomy and further testing is not risk-free (duh). All of my scans showed no indication of the trisomy and our geneticist had just had two other patients with wrong NIPTs. I’m very happy with the decisions we made - including to not do the NIPT in our subsequent pregnancy. |

Yikes. How far along? Could they tell what happened? |

| I just got mine yesterday from Natera - 8 working days after I have blood but I noticed on the results they only received the blood 3 working days ago - I suppose my OB clinic had to send it in mail/courier? |

Not to threadjack, but same(ish). Screened positive for neural tube defect, was told baby might have an improperly developed brain (or no brain(!)). Later confirmed with an ultrasound that there was nothing wrong, but definitely spiralled for a week in between |

Mine took about a week. I didn't have a high enough gene part so I had to do it again, which added up to almost three weeks of waiting, so it can be faster with a bit more patience.
It's important to know- and a lot of practices won't tell you - that for most of the results false positive rates are high. Down syndrome and sex are very accurate, the next two most common trisomies a bit less so, and the rest of it has terrible false positive rates (false negatives are much less common). I've read in the literature some researchers protesting these results being used at all because the counseling is so bad. |
