Gynac suggested some NIPT type test in first tri and i forgot to ask the cost. Just trying to plan budget thoda. Anyone done it recently, kitna lagta hai approx?
I panicked so much when my doctor suggested genetic testing, thinking something was wrong. But it's very routine now! The basic double marker test was around 2,500 to 4,000 rupees, and NIPT can go up to 15,000 to 25,000 depending on the lab.
I remember throwing up right before my double marker scan, it was such a chaotic day. Usually, the combined test (blood test + NT scan) costs around 3,000 to 5,000 rupees in most cities. It's totally worth it for the peace of mind.
Cost varies a lot depending on the lab, yaar. Actually, the double marker with scan cost me around 4k in Pune. But if you are going for NIPT, that is expensive and starts around 15k.
Haan na, these tests are so expensive nowadays. For basic screening, it should be within 3,000 to 5,000 rupees at local labs. If doc has asked for advanced testing, then budget for a bit more.
Double the babies, double the anxiety! We had to get these tests done and my wallet definitely felt the pinch. It depends on what your doctor orders—the simple blood tests are cheaper, but those fancy NIPT ones can cost around 15k to 20k.
