[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m glad you are comfortable with your decision, but just for the sake of education, I’ll repeat it. Microarray trees for more than NIPT and nuchal. If you want to know as much as possible, so that. If you are comfortable being tested for only the three main trisomies, then no need. Obviously most people are having a healthy baby. Hope everything continues to go well and you have a happy, easy pregnancy :) [/quote]

This is correct.
In retrospect I should have done the amnio but my OB talked me out of it. It was hard to find a real genetics person who could actually give advice. So we skipped it, and just did the NIPT.

Ps the NIPT microdeletion tests are sketchy. The trisomy tests they do seem well-validated. But as of a few years ago at least, the microdeletion assays were fairly secretive and I would not trust them.

Pps my baby was totally healthy. Yay. Just saying that I used the wrong strategy back then. Others might be happy with just the NIPT, but I’m a statistics person and I would have wanted more information (and known how to make decisions based on it.)
