The Harmony Test is more accurate than traditional first trimester screening tests, it gives fewer false alarms, and is proven by clinical evidence.Ĭhromosomal abnormalities can occur in any pregnancy. It can also be used to tell the sex of the baby. Pons Medical Group is a leading surrogacy agency in Georgia providing IVF services, donor services, surrogacy, pregnancy care and delivery.The Harmony Test (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test or NIPT) is a blood test taken from the mother at as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy (but not earlier) to evaluate possible chromosomal conditions in the baby. If there is one female and one male, it will appear as male pregnancy only. In case of twin pregnancies if the fetuses are both female.
The Harmony test can also be used to know the sex your baby, this feature of the test is suitable for: All twin and singleton pregnancies including IVF pregnancies.In surrogacy, as a specific type of IVF treatment, a prenatal test that offers near 100% accuracy in the diagnosis of congenital conditions can provide great reassurance. The Harmony test is specially recommended in case of pregnancy by surrogacy though the test is also suitable for a wide range of pregnancies. This test may not be applicable to everyone, so you need to discuss it with you doctor. X and Y chromosome conditions occur when there is a missing, extra, or incomplete copy of one of the sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes (X and Y) determine whether we are male or female. Most affected individuals die before or soon after birth, and very few survive beyond the first year of life. These babies are born with severe brain abnormalities and often have congenital heart defects as well as other birth defects. Trisomy 18, known as Edwards syndrome and Trisomy 13 known as Patau syndrome are associated with a high rate of miscarriage. It is associated with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities and may also lead to digestive disease, congenital heart defects and other malformations. Trisomy 21 also known as Down Syndrome is the most common trisomy at the time of birth. The test has not any risk to you baby and is almost 100% accurate. Also this test determines whether the baby is a boy or girl and poses no risk to the fetus. All these syndromes result in numerous defects and they can be fatal for your child. Unfortunately, chromosomal condition can occur in every pregnancy. It’s a blood test, that analyses and measures the DNA from the fetus that circulates in the mother’s blood, in order to predict the risk of certain chromosome conditions, like Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edward’s syndrome ( trisomy 18) or Patau syndrome ( trisomy 13). It is a non –invasive prenatal testing, which can be made after 10 weeks of pregnancy. The Harmony test is one of the most necessary tests, which needs to be done during your pregnancy in order to be ensured that there is nothing dangerous for your child. We think that for every parent and also for our future parents it will be helpful and significant to have an idea about what the Harmony Test is and why it is performed. That is why we want you to know about the importance and necessity of one of the most important tests that you can make during this precious period. During pregnancy our surrogate mothers will make a lot of tests and screenings that can be tiring and irritating.
