Obtain fetal DNA : The tests you had are now obsolete and miss at least 20% of fetuses affected with Down syndrome. Ask for a free fetal DNA test in your blood sample--your PCP can order the Harmony test from Ariosa: call 1-855-9-ARIOSA (855-927-4672) In over 15,000 pregnancies they detected 100% of Down syndrome and the chance of a false positive was less than 1 in 1000. Results in 4 to 8 days. With no insurance or financial distress they charge $25-$150.
