Early Gender Blood Tests

Early gender blood tests are a non-invasive test which determines the sex of your baby before the traditional 18 week scan. The blood test, taken from the expecting mother analyses cell free DNA circulating the blood stream.

Y Chromosomes are present in Males whereas X Chromosomes are present in Females.

The early gender blood test specifically looks for Y chromosomes, if these are present in the mother's blood it indicates a boy is expected. If no Y chromosomes are detected it suggests a girl. The results are 99.9% accurate if performed after 6 weeks gestational. 

This test solely determines the sex of the baby, health and weight of the foetus are not examined during an early gender test.

Early Gender Blood Test with Ultrasound Scan

As above we will carry out a 6-week blood test to expectant mothers with the addition of an ultrasound scan.

Early Gender Blood Test FAQs

While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. Blood Testing looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of your blood. If male chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. If none are found, baby is a girl. Blood Testing is 99.9% accurate at 6 weeks into pregnancy.

A test process called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is used to analyze cell-free fetal DNA. Starting with a small sample of your blood, plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifuge, and extracted cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analyzed for Y chromosomes, which are found only in males. The test is sensitive enough to find even a single Y chromosome, giving you confidence in your results.

In the case of identical twins, if male DNA is found, then both babies are boys. If no male DNA is found, then both babies are girls. For fraternal twins (or more!), finding male DNA will confirm at least one baby is a boy, but cannot distinguish if the second is a boy or girl.

This is a DNA-based test, so hormones do not impact results.

Testing looks only for the presence of Y chromosomes and is extremely sensitive and accurate. No blood thinners or other drugs are known to impact gender results.

This is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), and it’s safe for both mum and baby.

You will receive your result within 5-7 working days of your blood draw.* 

*Subject to delays

This is the most accurate early gender test on the market. If your test result does not match the gender of your newborn, you’ll receive a full refund.

We know your DNA information is personal. To protect your privacy:

  1. We test only for baby’s gender. No data is gathered about disease states or other health-related information.
  2. After the test is run, your blood sample is disposed of by a professional chemical management company in compliance with federal standards.
  3. Your results are never shared with anyone other than the email address you provide.

Benefits of Early Gender Blood Tests

There are a number of benefits to booking an early gender blood test with your local Peek A Baby clinic, including:

  • Earlier Knowledge:

    Learning your baby's gender early gives you more time to choose names, colours and prepare for the baby's arrival. 

  • Medical Information:

    You may have a family history of genetic disorders which are only visible in one sex, learning the baby's gender early on will help you determine whether a follow up scan is required. 

  • Accurate Dating:

    Early gender blood tests and scans scans provide precise measurements of the fetus, allowing for accurate dating of the pregnancy.
