Early Gender Tests

Earlier this year, The Pink or Blue Early Gender Test (about $240) became available online in the U.S. The test claims to be able to determine the gender of a fetus from as early as seven weeks after conception with a drop of the mother's blood sent off to a lab.

The test claims to be 95% accurate, but Dr. Eva Pressman, Director of Obstetrics and Internal Fetal Medicine at the University of Rochester, says "the DNA technology being used has many potential pitfalls" and she suspects the accuracy could be less.

Most importantly, she says, "in the absence of a family history of significant genetic disorders, there's no need to know fetal gender this early, and an ultrasound can usually identify gender by 18 - 20 weeks."

Now, here's another, more affordable version ...The IntelliGender Prenatal Gender Prediction Test. It costs $30 and claims that, as early as six weeks pregnant, you can pee into a cup, swirl it around, and it will tell you if you're having a boy or a girl.

The test claims to be the only affordable, simple-to-use urine test to tell you the gender. It also claims an 82% accuracy rate in real world applications.
