This was on our local news station here in the States this morning. It has been around for a good bit I think but I don't know much about it. They say 95% accurate...I can't believe they would market this knowing what the implications could be if it doesn't really work....so I am going to assume that it is 95% accurate until proven otherwise!

Seems like that one, where they look for Y chomosome in a woman's XX blood, although the site I posted looks more professional. One lady did use it, I can't remember her name, and it was correct, but yea...pricey!!!

It was on my news also.It seems reliable the way they are talking but just like any blood test there can be unexpected results,no blood test will give 100% accurate results 100% of the time.

Accu Gender was the first one and it was the Baby Mentor Gender which I believe is no longer available. The idea of Fetal DNA is pretty old...http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/08/09/139261239/test-a-mothers-blood-to-learn-her-babys-sex-early-on?ps=sh_sthdl

That is an article about it and apparently there is a research study that was done on it and it was foind to be 75% accurate at 7 weeks and 99% accurate at 20 weeks.
