Did anyone skip their NIPT and relied on just the scan for down syndrome instead?

NIPT (also known as Harmony) is quite expensive even though it has higher accuracy on Down Syndrome risk. However, the adviser at KKH told me that NIPT might not return any result by quoting that a previous patient did NIPT numerous times but it returned no result. And also, if you are on the subsidised route, NIPT will not be subsidised if you do it first. It will only be subsidised if you do FTS first, the FTS result returns positive and you want to do NIPT to reconfirm. Since FTS is time sensitive (has to be carried out between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy) and NIPT can be carried out at any time of pregnancy, I decided to do FTS first. It is really up to your choice if you want to take NIPT later to reconfirm your FTS result and get further assurance.
