Blood test to determine gender?

Question

How accurate are the blood test to find out baby’s gender? Do you gp through your obgyn or a third party company? How early can you find out this way? If you did it before 12 weeks did you announce the gender when you announced the pregnancy? Tell me everything!!
Update: specifically the Sneak Peek test that you do at home and mail in.

Answer

I’m doing sneak peek clinical. It’s where you go to a place and a professional phlebotomist draws your blood so it can’t get contaminated! Google sneak peek locations by you and see if any are nearby! It’s 100% accurate.

Answer

Following this, because I'm debating what to do as well

Answer

Sneak a peak is only a problem if the blood sample gets contaminated at your home.  If dna from your husband or boy children get in the sample you might get a false “boy” result.  I’m paying a little extra and doing the test a sneak a peak clinic.  It eliminates the chance of contaminating the sample.  You can find clinics near you on the sneak a peak website.

Answer

I just had this test done about 2 weeks ago. If you are not considered high risk (over 35, history of complications) it is almost never covered by insurance(that's what I was told). I had the blood drawn at my doctor's office and they sent it to a third party lab, I chose to send it to Natera because they gave me a discounted rate of $200. You can get it done as soon as 10 weeks, I was 12 weeks when I had it. The office told me it is 99% accurate and the results take about 7-10 business days, I got mine in 6 business days. I announced to everyone right away as soon as I got the results. Hope that helps a little.

Answer

The blood tests are more accurate than ultrasounds to determine the gender. I believe they’re 99% accurate, leaving room for human error in the lab or in the actual blood draw process. We didn’t announce our gender/pregnancy until I was 32 weeks, but you could definitely use the blood test for a gender announcement earlier. Our test was ordered by my OB because I was high risk. I had the option to have my blood drawn at the lab in my OBs clinic, but I decided to go to the hospital to have it done instead because my OB told me I’d get my results faster if I did that. My blood sample was then sent to the main testing lab and I got my results within 3 days. We used the Harmony test.

Answer

Sneak peek is iffy and 100% not as accurate as they claim. They claim you’ll only get a false boy result if a male contaminates it, but my friend had a false girl result at 12 weeks. She did hers more for fun because she also got the test done at the ob at 12 weeks as well and the one at the ob was correct so the sneak peek was wrong for not even a reason that was able to be explained since she definitely also had enough DNA present. They never ended up giving her her money back either, they wouldn’t reply to her after she would contact them on everything they’re able to be contacted on. In my mom group on fb there were 50+ people who it was wrong for and the sneak peek fb page will delete reviews of them being wrong so they look like they’re always accurate. I never bothered with it, but after my friend had that happen to her I did a lot of research on it.

Answer

Apparently, sneak peek is very iffy but better if you do it weeks 10-12. I did sneak peak, it said girl. 
Then I also did the blood work through my doctor, also said girl (did it at 11 weeks exactly)! So for me, sneak peek was accurate! Of course, the doctors blood test is more trustworthy (at 99%) but I know a bunch of people who did sneak peak and it was accurate!

Answer

Blood tests are 99% accurate . I took the harmony test and it said girl and im having a girl . My insuance covered it but i seen alot of insurances dont and if they dont its like $2000 but theres a sneak peak test also but i dont know much about that one
