NIPT Harmony or Panorama???

[Zyrafa]

Help please! I am trying to decide between Harmony and Panorama and am at a loss. On the one hand, Panorama offers more, on the other, it apparently has higher risk of false positives - my anxiety is already through the roof, but I'd rather know now if there was something worrying. What are your experiences and advice?

I went for harmony - I talked to the doctor and he said that in his experience it’s more than enough and the results are faster…. Good luck whatever you go with and congrats 🤗

Thank you for posting this hun, you've read my mind a bit as I'm also wondering what to do about this. The other problem I'm finding is where to actually get the tests done, would you mind me asking if you've found somewhere you can get the tests done? Thank you 😊

I had the Harmony test via my private IVF clinic. I think you can also self-refer for this test even if you haven’t had treatment there. I had a scan plus blood test. I have also seen posters in NHS hospitals so if you are already under the midwife they should be able to advise.

Thanks Pnw!!! Xx IVFat40, I've seen quite a few private places in London offering scans and tests and you can just book online. Prices and offers vary but from what I see, Harmony seems to be the most popular and recommended. My NHS midwife had no opinion, or rather seemed surprised I'm looking into it. And I naively thought I'd calm down after my BFP! 😅

Thank you hun! And I know what you mean, sadly calm is not the word to describe me right now 😆
