[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't you having the NIPT test done? I did it at 10 weeks and got the results back in 2 days.[/quote]

OP- By blood test I meant NIST. I didn't know you could do it at 10 weeks though. My OB had me do it at 12 weeks before so I assumed that was the earliest you could do it. I also didn't realize that results could be turned around so quickly. I got the results in about two weeks last time, so I assumed that was standard.

For the person who mentioned amnio and CVS testing- I haven't done either test with my previous pregnancies. I was under the impression that it would make sense to do them if something came up during the NIST test, if parents are carriers of the same genetic disorders, or if sibling(s) have something that can be screened for in either test but not the NIST. Why would someone choose to do amnio or CVS testing if there are no indicators of a problem? [/quote]

Because as explained above, the NIPT is just a general risk assessment. For families who really want to know if their fetus carries certain genetic disorders, they need either an amnio or a CVS.
