Currently 15 weeks and still haven’t gotten my NIPT testing done, due to not having active insurance (waiting to be added to my husbands - just got married last month) and SO in my head about everything… Is there a cut off date when you can receive that test?
Wanting to know gender so bad, and making sure baby is healthy..
my anxiety is getting the best of me.

They say it’s “best” before 12 weeks but there’s not a cut off. I’ve seen mommas in at 18,20 weeks before.

There is a cut off date.

You can also apply to their financial aid. Mine only cost $90

I didn’t get mine done til I was about 24 weeks due to me not finding out I was pregnant til I was 23 weeks pregnant. But there’s also the ones you can buy my sister did that one, I believe she paid 70$ for it, I helped her draw the blood with the kit they send and within a week you get results in your email

Honesty at this point you may be better off waiting for the anatomy ultrasound! NIPT is not a requirement and is not typically covered in full by insurance unless you are over 35 or have genetic conditions that run in your family. The anatomy scan is still the most reliable way to see if baby is developing properly and even if they find something on NIPT they have to confirm with the anatomy scan. By they time you get your results it would be time to go for the anatomy scan anyway
