nt blood tests tell gender?
I found this online: 
These studies are showing the link between free β-hCG and PAPP-A levels in mothers blood and baby's gender. Values tend to be higher in women pregnant with girls.Average ( desired) value is 1 MoM.Also NT ( nuchal translucency) and AFP can be expressed in MoMs.If you're pregnant with a boy, those values tend to be a bit higher, but close to 1 if it's a normal, healthy pregnancy ( otherwise it could be an indicator for chromosomal issues). If you're carrying a girl, values tend to be a bit lower then 1 ( but close to 1 for the same reasons).Those hormones are done from the blood ( 'double test') usually during the first trimester and they are interpreted with ultrasound pictures in order to show the probability that the baby might suffer chromosomal problems ( mostly trisomy 21, 18,15).Here are the studies: The impact of fetal gender on first trimester nuchal translucency and maternal serum free β-hCG and PAPP-A MoM in normal and trisomy 21 pregnancies - Cowans - 2009 - Prenatal Diagnosis - Wiley Online Library ( The impact of fetal gender on first trimester nuchal translucency and maternal serum free β-hCG and PAPP-A MoM in normal and trisomy 21 pregnancies)Gender impact on first trimester markers in Down syndrome screening - Larsen - 2002 - Prenatal Diagnosis - Wiley Online LibraryMy test results from my beta test at 12 weeks 1 day are :
Papp-a MoM- 0.74
Hcg1 MoM - 1.31
NT MoM - 0.93
So this would be a girl, right?
