Guide
When can I have NIPT?
You can have NIPT from 10 weeks of pregnancy. Use the planner below to see your dates for NIPT, the early gender test and your NHS scans.
- From 10 weeks
- No risk to baby
- Results in about 5 working days
- No GP referral
Why 10 weeks?
By 10 weeks there is usually enough of your baby’s DNA in your blood for a reliable result. Testing earlier increases the chance of no result.
Is there an upper limit?
There’s no strict upper limit for private NIPT, but having it early gives you more time to think about next steps if you need them.
Not sure of your dates?
A 10 week scan confirms how far along you are. Many parents book it on the same day as their NIPT.
