Thank you so much for the comment I have wondered if the accuracy was great with the lab draws, so it is crazy to hear yours was still wrong in lab! I thought something was weird with your Instagram post but it didnt really hit me! Just because some have had accurate predictions at that point doesnt mean its reliable, theres a reason why doctors have policies in place that they dont disclose gender by ultrasound that early.

Our shared bathroom is extremely dirty with three little boys and two adult men running around, so I feel as if my spray of lysol that I wiped off with toilet paper was not sufficient enough. Our results said its a girl! It creates angst and extra worry. I got sneak peek clinical done at 8 weeks - boy result. This pregnancy has been so so different from my 2 previous, I am ot sick at all, no morning sickness no nothing!

I had multiple dreams about having a girl, day dreams about how I would announce it to everyone including my husband, visions of the gender reveal and have been so emotional this whole time around! I had been bonding with this baby boy. You can get a false girl if you do it too soon so the male dna wasn't detectable yet. I was so hesitant to believe I was actually getting the boy we wanted !! The company said that they were 99.1% accurate with their tests. I had two boys and wanted a girl. Im curious to see what NIPT will say but Id definitely lean towards boy until then, if it was me! What do I do if the blood sample does not coat the test tube and mix with the preservative? Then I have 2 boys, 7 and 2 and a 14 year old stepson, as well as a husband and 2 male animals.

The Chinese gender thing has always been right for me lol and it predicted a girl and I had a reading last jan that said I would have a 5th and it would be a girl . Could it be wrong? Sneak peek is great and definitely gives results way before the normal 20 week scan. I really wanted a girl since I have 2 boys and this would be our last bb but we were happy either way. So, it definitely is possible for an accurate early gender detection, but for me if this had been my first baby I wouldnt have done the test again. We decided to go to an early ultrasound place at 14 weeks and 4 days and she said congrats youre having a girl!
