What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're pregnant and want to understand your baby's risk for certain chromosomal conditions early in pregnancy. It screens for conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and certain sex chromosome differences using a simple blood draw from you, the mother. It also gives you the option to learn your baby's sex earlier than a traditional ultrasound would allow.

What's included in this test?

This test looks at pieces of your baby's DNA that circulate in your blood during pregnancy to check for extra or missing chromosomes, which can signal an increased risk of certain birth defects. It also screens for a specific missing piece of chromosome 22 (called a microdeletion) that can be linked to health and developmental issues, and it can reveal your baby's sex based on the presence of sex chromosomes.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your account with each screened condition clearly labeled as low-risk or increased-risk, along with an explanation of what that means. If your results show increased risk for any condition, the recommended next step is genetic counseling and diagnostic testing to confirm the finding, since this is a screening test, not a diagnostic one. A downloadable standard lab report is available in your account, and because this is a one-time pregnancy screening rather than an ongoing marker, retesting isn't typically needed for the same pregnancy. You can also use the trends feature to keep all your pregnancy-related test results organized in one place.

How can I naturally support a healthy pregnancy while waiting for results?

While this screening result isn't something you can influence naturally, general pregnancy health habits can support a healthy outcome overall. Eating a balanced diet with folate-rich foods, staying hydrated, taking a prenatal vitamin, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and getting regular rest all support a healthy pregnancy. Managing stress through light activity like walking or prenatal yoga can also help while you wait for results.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is collected and received by the lab. You'll get a notification once your results are posted to your account so you can log in and review them right away. Keep in mind this test isn't recommended before 10 weeks of pregnancy, as testing too early can increase the chance of an unclear or failed result.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good option for pregnant women who are at least 10 weeks along and want early insight into their baby's chromosomal health without an invasive procedure. It's especially relevant if you have risk factors such as advanced maternal age, a family history of chromosomal conditions, or simply want added peace of mind. It's also a popular choice for parents who want to find out their baby's sex earlier than a standard anatomy scan.

What symptoms or situations indicate I may need this test?

There usually aren't physical symptoms tied to chromosomal risk, so this test is more about timing and personal risk factors than symptoms. Reasons to consider it include being pregnant at 35 or older, having a prior pregnancy affected by a chromosomal condition, abnormal findings on an earlier ultrasound, or simply wanting extra reassurance during pregnancy. Curiosity about your baby's sex earlier in pregnancy is another common reason people choose this screening.

What does an increased-risk result mean?

An increased-risk result means the screening found patterns in the DNA that are associated with a higher chance of a chromosomal condition like Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome, but it does not confirm the condition is present. Because this is a screening test, false positives can happen, so an increased-risk result should always be followed up with genetic counseling and a diagnostic test like an amniocentesis for confirmation. Try not to make any pregnancy decisions based on this result alone.

What causes a false or failed result on this type of screening?

Failed or unclear results can happen if there isn't enough fetal DNA in your blood sample, which is more common very early in pregnancy, in people with a higher body weight, or in certain multiple pregnancies. Testing before 10 weeks of gestation significantly raises the chance of this happening, which is why timing matters. If your test comes back as failed or unclear, retesting with a new sample or considering alternative diagnostic options may be recommended.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your results show an increased risk for any of the screened conditions, the recommended next step is genetic counseling to help you understand what the result means for your specific pregnancy. From there, a diagnostic test such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis can confirm or rule out the condition with much higher accuracy. Try to avoid making major pregnancy decisions until you've had a chance to review the full picture with confirmatory testing.
