Know sooner than ever before.
HOW IT WORKS
We offer a simple, non-invasive blood test that reveals your baby’s gender with scientifically proven 99.9% accuracy, performed by trained phlebotomists.
*This test includes a scan to check viability, gestation, and the number of babies.
It analyses tiny fragments of your baby's DNA (cell-free fetal DNA) that
circulate in the mother's bloodstream.
The laboratory looks for the presence
or absence of Y chromosome DNA:
Y chromosome detected (XY)
→ baby is male.
No Y chromosome detected (XX)
→ baby is female.
RESULTS AS FAST AS 24 HOURS
*factors out of our control may affect this timescale

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Clinical studies have shown that fetal DNA clears from mum’s bloodstream between a few hours to 2 days after birth.
-
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.
-
Gender bloods are a DNA-based test, so hormones do not impact results.
-
The blood test is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), and it’s safe for both mum and baby.
