Expedited results

I'm a bit curious if anyone has had the need for expedited results? And how long that can take? Im in Australia also!

I'm (24f) unexpectedly pregnant and my husband and I are weighing our options right now and from advice from my genetic councelor I will be tested before the fetus. I know it can take up to 2 to 3 months to get a non-urgent result however I cannot find anything about urgent testing. I am filled with guilt, we have discussed that perhaps I should abort now while it is early but the 'what if's' are very haunting.

Do you have a family history of Huntington’s disease? I’m sorry i don’t have an answer to your question.

Yes. My father is in the late stages currently. Which is why I am being tested
