Q: Odds of something going wrong?

I'm 11w2d today and just got my Panorama (fetal dna) results-- all good and it's a girl! We had 3 miscarriages before this pregnancy, which is the 1st one ever to make it this far. We're so happy! I'm 38 and was convinced that after all the trouble we've had for 3 years, this couldn't possibly go well and that there would be something wrong, such as Downs because of my age. But now I feel like I can finally relax and celebrate. We're going for an NT scan this week, even though we know that the baby doesn't have Downs or another trisomy, but our Dr. wants us to do it anyway just to look for any other problems and to get a bonus peek at our little girl!
My question is if anyone has experience getting this far, getting great test results, but still have problems or a tragic outcome? 95% of my worry is gone now, but I have that lingering 5% that I'm still wondering if something could happen. The Dr. says anything COULD happen, but probably not.

If you're going for Panorama, then it must be the same one, because it's the name of a commercial test offered by a company called Natera. There are other similar tests, such as Materniti21 by Sequenom, etc. But if you're going for Panorama, as in your lab slip says that name on the top, then it's the same one I had. That distinction is important because if I advise you on how long it takes to get it back, but you're going with a different test from a different company, then my advice won't matter. I don't know now long Materniti21 or Harmony or whatever takes.
Anyway, I had it drawn last Monday at a Quest lab, it then gets overnighted to the Natera lab, and then it takes a day to get it logged in, etc., so they started the test last Wednesday. I got my results exactly a week later-- yesterday. They say 7-10 days and I've heard of people waiting 14 days I guess when they're busier, but my Dr. said 7 days is about right these days.
Good luck!

Sorry I don't have any advice, but just wondering how long it took to get results after you had your blood draw? I am supposed to go for the panorama testing and not sure if it's the same one but just wondering how long it takes to get the results back? :) We already had the NT scan and everything is normal but still going for the panorama testing this week.
