Lovely to hear some more about this test.

Out of interest, how much does it cost? (If you don't mind me asking!)

i was just reading this last night as some of you know we had this at 20 weeks after a 1:35 downs risk and after IVF at 39 CVS was NO NO..
CARNAT we paid around £500.00 - its a 10 day painful wait for results but fab news for us.
IF we are lucky enough to have another baby i will refuse NHS testing ( i cant go through that worry again) and go straight to harmony
The sooner the NHS get this the better

I didn't have the testing because the answers can be so vague and the risks to find out more, can be quite high.

I think if this became available on the NHS I would go ahead with testing, just because of the clearer answers xx
