Question for those of you who got genetic testing results online: Is there a way to find out the health of the baby, but not the sex? I want to know the genetic risk ASAP, but ideally, I'd like to do something fun for learning the sex. The OB said he could write it down and put it in an envelope for a gender reveal type thing. Is there a way to do that online? ETA: I really want cake to be involved! LOL.

H is saying we can find out ASAP via the online portal, then go buy a cake. I think I could be OK with that...

notagoddess I'll be finding out the test results tomorrow at the OB, but then still plan on a cake being involved, even though the color inside won't be a surprise to me. We just want an excuse to celebrate and eat cake. Haha. Same! LOL!

notagoddess, I think you could get the health results online and then if you want to be really surprised by your cake, ask someone you trust to look at the sex and be the one to place the bakery order for you?

dashook, I hope I can log in and see just the health results. I would ask someone else to look at the sex if it's not all on the same screen. I made the account this morning and I can see that my sample is still processing, so I know that once it notifies me it's ready, I'm going to be logging in.

notagoddess, when I did the test she asked if I wanted to know, I said yes, and she said the way they do it is title the result "Normal NIPT result (message includes fetal sex)" - so I knew before even opening the message that the results were normal, but could wait to find out the sex with my DH. Hopefully yours does the same but otherwise yes you could ask someone else to read it! I am all for cake, we may do that to tell the boys!

notagoddess I love both of those cakes! Yum...cake... I keep waffling about this. MH said that he doesn't care if I know the sex before he does; he just wants to know that the babe is healthy. I had been thinking about doing something cute when just the two of us find out together, but maybe I could just do something for him? Because I have absolutely zero self control and will be checking the results ASAP.

I wish I were napping right now. X100000000000 So, DS1's new school has required home visits for new students. My house was a fucking disaster. I mean, so awful. But I just haven't been feeling well enough to do much with it but with the home visit this evening, I did ALL of it yesterday. I'm so sore today. And so, so tired. H was great and got a lot of the yard work done so we don't have a forest of weeds on our xeroscaped lawn (thanks, rainy season -.-).

I made an online account and it says processing but my doctor said she was going to call me with them so I’m not sure if I can see them when they’re done or I have to wait for the doctor. 🤔
I’m so nervous and excited to find out the sex!

I checked on my NIPT results today and the sample is under "clinical review," which is the last step before being released to me. So every time I get an email my heart jumps a little. Can't wait to have the results back!

@amc and CharlieB good luck today ladies!! Keep us posted! notagoddess love the cake ideas! We originally wanted to ask the US tech to write down the sex for us on a piece of paper at the anatomy scan and have a cake made... but today she asked if we wanted to know her guess and I said yes because I’m impatient. So now we feel like with her experience and confidence, it won’t be a surprise when she says nothing has changed in 6 weeks. But we still plan to get a cake or cupcake for DD so she can be surprised.

We had our NT scan today and it went great. Baby was measuring right on track and the HB is 156. The US tech guessed we are having a girl. She’s been working at the same office for 10 years and my OB said she’s rarely wrong even with early guesses. Not buying any new clothes until we know for sure but I can’t help but be excited knowing it’s likely another girl. They moved my DD ahead a day because she said whoever calculated my due date when I first came in was a day off so it’s back to 2/18 which is awesome since I had that date in my head for a couple weeks before they moved it the first time. Adding a pic of our little nugget below!

@amc are you doing the cake yourself? Or will it be a surprise to you too?

@amc are you doing the cake yourself? Or will it be a surprise to you too? Doing the cake myself. I considered doing the cake myself, but decided that sounded just a little extra for a 3rd baby. Getting ready to bake the cake, then planning to mix up the pink or blue icing and assemble the cake while the boys are napping. If we end up finding out while getting the health results, I want to do this: www.bowlofdelicious.com/2016/09/20/candy-filled-gender-reveal-cake-tutorial-and-a-big-huge-announcement/I am not a baker at all, but I figure if I use box mix, it shouldn't be too hard!
