DNA Gender Determination Results at 12 Weeks: True or False
You may recall how I was taking the Jack and Jill tell me what I am having test at 9 weeks to determine (a little early) what number 5 may be. With 4 sweet girls already, Mr. Darling is really pulling for that boy. As for me, I am fine with 5 girls. I ask myself all the time just what I would do with a boy. He most likely would always be in a bow-tie because bows pretty much run our house.
Well, on Wednesday, I got my gender determination results back via email. As you can see in the image above – it screamed GIRL!
And so the attached PDF read…
Prenatal Gender Determination Results: A DNA analysis of the maternal blood sample provided has been completed. IT’S A GIRL! Our laboratory has analyzed the blood sample submitted for gender testing. We have tested the blood sample for the presence of Y chromosome DNA in maternal plasma. Results: Test result is Negative for the presence of Y chromosome DNA in the maternal plasma sample. This results indicates a 98% probability of a baby girl.
So, here is the “but”: My best friend, who is 5 weeks ahead of me, took the same DNA test. And well, it said girl too. However, a few weeks went by and after 3 sonos, she is 100% welcoming a little boy in September.
I want to know what you think about this whole early gender testing. You can get the details in my post from a few weeks ago. I can tell you one thing, I am going to beg them to peek at my sono this week. The earliest I have ever found out 100% is at 14 weeks but a girl can only hope. As long as baby number 5 is healthy and I go full-term, I will be one happy momma!
Did you do a DNA Gender test? Would you believe it?
Tell me: Should I start buying more bows?

OMG!! My instinct would be to believe it…but then your friends was wrong so I don’t know!! I would totally try this next time just out of curiosity. Can’t wait to hear about your next sono!
We did the gender DNA test for our second child (in 2010), since it was offered to us for free. We found out at ~10 weeks along that we were expecting a girl and it was correct!
I took the intelligender test at 13 weeks and it said I was having another boy. I already have 2 girls and 1 boy and was hoping this one was a boy too, because I am done for a long time. I held off on buying blue for my new growing belly until I knew for sure via ultrasound and was nervous I was having yet another girl. I did all the old wives tales on how to tell what you are having and they all said boy too. The day of my 20 week ultrasound came and I was so nervous thinking about another girl. I am happy to report that he is defenitly a boy!! Every other mom-to-be I knew who took the intelligender said it was accurate and it was accurate for me too!! I’ve never heard of the jack and Jill test nor have I heard of anyone taking it so I don’t know odor is accurate or not. But for myself and the others I know who did the intelligender it was accurate. Good luck and I hope you get what you want!!
