NIPTS or Oscar
Which one did you go for? Is there a huge price difference?
I initially wanted to take both tests. My gynae rejected me to go for additional Oscar test if I already decided to do NIPT at beginning. I mentioned about structural abnormality which NIPT doesn't pick up in its test result. My gynae said during the regular scan, he will be able to check those abnormalities. So, I decided not going for Oscar, but just NIPT. I am with Prof Biswas, private in NUH. Yes, there's huge price diff, oscar is ard 2-3times cheaper than nipt. Forgot exactly how much 😅
Read moremy gynae let me choose and told me nipt is way more accurate than oscar but I heard that Oscar provides some results that nipt doesn't. the price for both has a v big diff tho. I'm with private gynae at mount e hospital, nipt I took was $1200, Oscar I think is about 500. sometimes Oscar will have false positive so end up, people spending extra to do nipt again.
Read moreSince i am above 35, gynae recommended to go for Oscar. During counselling, we decided to do both just for a peace of mind. I think it depends you. If on a budget but still need to know just do Oscar. If $ is not a problem go for NIPTS which is more accurate and covers more testing plus knowing gender too.
Read moreI took Oscar since it’s within my acceptable budget and it’s my first baby. But if you decided that whatever the results is you’re gonna keep the baby then I suggest you to save the money instead of going for either test. :)
I went for comprehensive nipt done at a private clinic which was like 1750 before gst (if i rmb correctly) as the basic one was $1350 i think. Didnt take oscar since i dun like the % of accuracy 😅
Yes the price difference is huge, if ur age is more than 35 , and any genetical hereditary if u have any doubts there means better to go for NIPT , below 35 mostly chances are very less
Yes it's a huge price difference. if you are on budget I would suggest for Oscar. For me I go for Oscar in the very last min as we saw the doc and report before draw blood
Neither. Don’t have to do it as it’s optional. But if I were to choose I would go for NIPT to eliminate any false results that Oscar is known to have.
I’m 32 years old and this is my first baby I did Nipts cuz it’s more accurate Mine is private price at KKH so the cost is around 1000$ plus
I chose NIPT cos it’s more accurate and it’s my first baby. Paid $1k . You’ll also know your baby’s gender :)
