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.

Cost is variable, but you can ask your insurance company what criteria you have to meet in order for them to cover any of it. For example if you have Aetna this is a page I found: http://www.aetna.com/cpb/medical/data/400_499/0464.html which basically states that you have to show some sign of potentially having an issue or be 35+ by the time you deliver. Otherwise depending on how extensive your doctor wants the test to be you might be ask to pay $5k. The nurses at the office told me it might be $200 but the best thing is to ask the people who are actually going to pay for it.

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.
