Harmony test - to do or not to do

Hi all, I just got my Oscar result and I’m 1:1,900 (can’t remember the exact numerical) and low risk. However, my hubby has a younger brother with Down Syndrome so Gynae is pushing for a harmony test even though she states it’s optional. Hubby’s older brother went on to have two healthy boys with no issues. Should we go ahead with the test?

It all depends on ultimately what yall want. If the results matter so much I will straightaway do amniocentesis instead of harmony. Bcos if harmony shows unfavourable results, u will be again presented with e choice of doing this invasive test to confirm e diagnosis. If the results don't matter, then i will just stop at that.

Yes very true, positivity goes a long way! I’m excited to find out the sex as well but my Dr accidentally gave it away during the scan but quickly added she was not confident lol. Yup, we will be gg ahead with Harmony and thank you for the well wishes 😊

oscar is not very accurate.. you can do harmony has higher accuracy. since its recommended by the doc, mayb you shld go for it, since its just blood test.. its maybe $1.1k?

If you are still gonna keep the baby regardless of the outcome then don’t need to do it.

I thought of not going ahead since I’m relatively happy with a low risk results but I guess we’ll do it for a peace of mind after all. Thanks for your opinion!
