I did this exact test, and it said BOY, well my Daughter London was born exactly 7 months later!! When I questioned the company about the difference, they explained that it was probably because I had a previous male pregnancy (my Son is 3 years older than my Daughter)! Good thing they refunded my money in it’s entirety!!!
I wouldn’t trust those…I’ve heard iffy results, for sure. But if it IS a boy…CONGRATS! I am a momma to FOUR boys, and have come to love being completely outnumbered.
Ive never heard of this product but by the sounds of it Im glad I never did anyways:) Either way, heres wishing you a safe adn healthy pregnancy. How are you feeling these days? Any better than at first? When will you be able to tell by ultrasound what you’re having?
I wouldn’t trust it…it’s like taking your wedding ring and holding it on a string above your belly. I FULLY believe you’re having a girl. I won’t be swayed otherwise…:)
I have 20 days left until my ultrasound and I’ve been so tempted to try this out! I just don’t want to get all excited and then have it be the “wrong” answer. Does it say how accurate the results are?
From someone who just had her 4th boy (no girls), congrats! And if it does happen to be a girl on ultrasound day, conrats again! ๐

Does not sound very accurate. Wait for the ultrasound, if you are having one, or until the baby is here. Wishing you a happy, healthy baby and a carefree pregnancy.
this is hilarious! i’ve never seen anything like that in any store! where did you find it? do you guys find out at the reg ultrasound? i’m pregnant with #3 and we have never found out.
I have always wanted to try this!!! Iffy or not, it seems like a “fun” game to play.
Hope you’ll update us with the official results! ; )
I have the BIG ultrasound a week from today! Can’t wait!
Thehoppessays
I paid (a sum I was embarassed to tell friends) to take the at- home blood test called pink or blue? At ten weeks pregnant my hubby and I pulled up the results on the computer. We were stunned to learn it was a boy. Results guaranteed or money back…no refund necessary, Our sweet ozzy was born 27 weeks later. Worth every penny to know! I love that you tested and blogged about it!
With my first we took the Intellegender at 12 weeks…said girl, bought lots of pink at our U/S learned it was a boy!
Amber Lee D.says
I just spent several days and nights in the children’s hospital with my boy. All I can say is I wish you a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby. That is all that matters.
There is a lawsuit going on for this test. If you have had a boy previously, it will detect the boy gene regardless. That is what the suit alleges. It will be exciting to see…
Jen Ssays
I just had my ultrasound results for baby # 3. We are having boy # 3 as well – the older ones will be 2 and 4 when # 3 arrives
That is too funny. ๐ In all seriousness, though, I completely know what you mean. I have two boys and am definitely hoping that when we get around to having #3 it will be a girl. And if it’s another sweet and crazy boy I will love him to death, but dh and I have agreed that we would consider adopting a little girl who needed a good home at that point. ๐ We all have our reasons for wanting things in life, and I don’t think we should feel guilty about it. I’ve always wanted a little girl (like almost EVERY OTHER female I know!), but ever since my own mother died I really long for that close female connection. Anyway, you know not to put any stock in that product. If you really want to know sooner than your 20wk ultrasound, and you are between 11-13wks pg, have the nuchal u/s done! We did this with #2 at 12wks and 5days and found out the sex. Just don’t let them know that is your primary motivation for doing it. ๐ Regardless, *congrats* on the precious addition to family! So exciting.
it does say PREDICTION… i am hoping that you get, first a very healthy and happy baby, and second, your girl! ๐

You are too funny. But you know boys love their mamas. I’m in Boston on business…when I left my boy wailed because he was going to miss his mama so much and my girl said “bye mom” and that was it. ๐
These things are such hoaxes! If blood tests could accurately reveal the gender, then doctors and hospitals could offer the service- but they don’t. The premise is that they are right half of the time, and when they are wrong- only about 4% of people ask for refunds. They make bank off of peoples hopes and excitement.
Whether you have a boy or a girl, it’s bound to be as beautiful as your other two!
P.S. Current blood tests cannot show what gender your previous child/children were either. Blood tests can’t even show if you’ve had a child before. (After hcg levels are gone.)

I don’t know that I would trust that, but if it is right- having 3 boys is awesome! ๐
shannonsays
my friend who was pregnant with her third took thta test, said it was a boy (she has 2 boys) but it’s actually a girl. either way, will be awesome ๐
Those have a 50% chance of being right. No better than chance, so you still have a chance!!!
Think about it, even if they “guarantee” the results, they at worst only have to refund 50% of their profit because the odds are such that even if it were totally random (which it is) they are still going to be right 50% of the time.
s! It’s a good moneymaker for sure!

my 3 sons!!! so cute congratulations! Remember Boys LOVE their Mom’s. I just got a text from my 19 yo sophomore baseball player at college “I love you too momma” *sigh*
You should try the needle test. Where you hang a threaded needle and hang it over your belly. If it goes in circles you are having a girl, if it goes up and down you are having a boy. Everyone I’ve done it on has been 100% correct. I know its prob. just an old wives tale, but its fun still.
Have you found out yet? I just saw this post and HAD to respond. I though I was having a baby girl according to Intelligender–uh yeah I had a boy! LOL! It was a nice suprise for hubby though!
Nikki says
Don’t believe it. My girlfriend took one of those and we all bought boy stuff. Then she had the ultrasound. Girl.
Mike + Mo says
Yeah, everyone I know that has done it has said boy… I think that’s the only answer it knows…

Michelle! I did one of these last year too. I was so excited when it said ‘Boy’! Well. Evie is definitely a girl. ๐

LOL…I love it! You rock! Speaking from personal experience (4 boys right in a row…) you’ll have another boy too! haha

I wont believe it’s a boy until you see an ultra sound pic or the baby is born. ๐ I am still hoping for a girl for you. ๐
