So I keep hearing about a chromosome test to find out the gender, how does that work? I asked my mom…

they draw the blood from your arm... in not sure exactly how they know, but I got one done at 13 weeks and found out it's a healthy baby girl!

@littlemissrainesmommy, thank you! Does it cost extra if you have insurance?

It's just a blood test and you can find out the gender sooner. I just had mine done Friday and my Dr said it would take about a week to get back the results. So I am here not patiently waiting lol! @lindsayymarieee

They have a new way of detecting fetal blood through your blood, which shows the babies DNA. (:

Mine cost $130 extra @lindsayymarieee

high risk women get them free that's the only easy insurance covers it

@lindsayymarieee,

my sister in law has insurance she still had to pay 2hundred some odd dollars for it

eh... it depends... some insurances won't cover it, some will.. it all depends on if your dr says you need it or not... and there are at least 3 different test. I did the panorama test and there is a harmony test and I know one more, just can't think of what's it's called.

I think I'll wait for the ultrasound then 😂😂 my cheap ass ain't payin that much when I'll find out in 7 or 8 weeks anyway

I had the harmony test done. I had to cause I'm high risk. But that's how I found out at 13weeks.

Still pretty pricey even with insurance. I decided not to do it & wouldn't recommend spending extra $$ doing it unless you have a history of chromosomal disorders in your family. Only because shortly after that, you can find out the gender in a routine ultrasound :)

Make sure your insurance covers it mine was like 1300 and I had to get 11 tubes blood taken from my arm. thank god for insurance

If you aren't high risk most insurers won't pay for it. I had the harmony test at 13 weeks I think and found out she's a girl :). My SO family member asked and they told her around $300 after insurance paid their part. It's like a $1500 test

@lindsayymarieee, I had the Harmony test rather than an amniocentesis which was just a blood test and my cost was $135 after insurance. It was recommended because of risk factors however
