#NIPT

I'm a first timer (i'm 30, hubby 34) at my week 7 today. I went to see gynae today, and she asked me to do research and decide if I'll want to do OSCAR or NIPT next time. Is OSCAR sufficient? My gf personally went OSCAR, but was told that theres some borderline issue, and it might be caused by OSCAR not super super accurate. Ended up she go for NIPT, but 2 weeks of miserable worry. Eventually results were ok, and her son is turning 1 years old in a few days. I'm not sure is her case a one-off kinda case or what. I have yet to pass 12 weeks, hence I did not share my unstable pregnancy (am bleeding, on hormones jabs & daily pills) to others. So i have no avenue to ask for help. #pleasehelp #1stimemom #OSCAR #nipt

I just did both Oscar (FTS) and Nipt at the same time. because Oscar screen for structural defects, but Nipt dont. Nipt has higher accuracy in the blood test results, so yes save the unecessary wait and worry if Oscar comes back with risk, and you need to do Nipt afterall. I feel that pregnancy is a journey of uncertainties and assurance is really important. dont like surprises too so yeah gonna test for both! it depends alot of your budget also ya. so its a personal decision. sharing the info from kkh booklet too. hope it helps!

NIPT & FTS test queries

Hi everyone I did my NIPT test (Harmony) at KKH at 10w6d and I got "No Results" after 2 weeks. KKH advised me to go for FTS scan since I'm running out of time (FTS can only be done until 14 weeks). I do want to do NIPT again but KKH is saying that there could be chances of no results again and if that happens then I wouldn't know if there is any issue much later. Has anyone redone NIPT test and gotten results? I tried calling Parkway and TMC but apparently they won't do until a gynae orders it. I also heard that KKH's FTS test gives a lot of false positives. Can anyone share their experiences pls. #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #advicepls #FTM #nipt

My husband and I decided to just do both cos each one has its own advantage. Cos FTS is a structural scan. No regrets doing both:) I did igene. I heard that if genetic test is done too early it may have inconclusive results? Not sure if that’s the case for you

Is it true that if FTS shows high risk or positive, the cost for NIPT in KKH becomes subsidised?

Is it true that the cost of NIPT becomes about 300+ if FTS shows high risk? I read in Facebook groups that they received that price but I asked my counsellor ar KKH and she said no, there is no subsidy price for NIPT (theirs is called Harmony test). They quote me 700+ for NIPT and said price remains that even if I do FTS first and FTS shows high risknipt Confused. Appreciate any sharing of experiences and when you did the tests. Thanks in advance #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #advicepls #nipt

Yes, the NIPT is around $200 lesser if you do FTS first at KKH (provided your results show high risk). Been there, done that (2 months ago). However, I would advise you to go straight for NIPT as it provides a more accurate result and saves you from the emotional trauma from bad FTS results. You get to know the gender sooner as well. The wait for NIPT result is 2 weeks and it will be a long wait if your FTS result is bad.

How long did it take to receive Igene Nipt test results?

Hi, anyone who has done Igene Nipt test at NUH, how long afterwards did you receive your results? And do they give you a call if it's good results? Mine was done 9 working days ago and have still not received any updates. Anxious because this was a redraw and my fts was high risk. Have called hospital several times but clinic is not responding. 😫 #advicepls #firsttimemom #FTM #nipt #igene

In Nuh I think they dont call unless there is some high risk issue, I did nipt last mnth but didnt get any call/email from nuh. Customer support is saying doctor will share the report in the next appointment.
