Aug 9 2011? - See, we had the test done. Although the NYT doesn't say whose test it is, based on the date of the article and on the timing of things, it was probably Sequenom and it was probably MaterniT21. They don't even talk about sexing in the literature and it's a $2400 test. The reason we did it is "advanced maternal age" and the fact that since my wife is a healthcare provider they comped her because they want to get her clients. Interestingly enough, although the rep agreed 100% that the test will totally give you the gender of the baby the lab itself was ironclad that they wouldn't release the result. Which we found out via ultrasound (which is oh so much cheaper) a month after, so what's the big deal?
