Do gender predictor tests work? Anxiety and already feeling GD creep in...
Hi,
I'm having doubts about my sway and my luck in general. I'm not a lucky person and there are things in life that I've worked hard for and often bad luck, timing etc. caused me to not achieve it.
I feel very confident that I did not get my DG (boy) but my hubby is convinced that we did and it's pushing my anxiety and stress to the max.
Are there any tests that we can take to confirm the gender? I just want the truth now...I don't know how I can wait much longer. I am very stressed and only 7-8 weeks pregnant at this point...

You could look into getting NIPT done. I see that your location says Canada, I don't think any province covers it (AB definitely doesn't) and the cost is generally around 500-600 if you can't get your insurance to cover it.
None of the home tests work reliably that I know of.

If you are this stressed I think you should definitely do the nipt/ harmony test. I think you can do it from 9 weeks...
Hoping you get your DG and am sending you all my blue dust!

You sound so like how I used to that I thought I had written this post!
Definitely look into the early testing which would also show sex. But I'm going to say look into therapy, too. That level of self-defeat + hormones can really foster depression and anxiety, and a good therapist can help you navigate that AND GD.

I would do the Harmony test (or any of the "nipty" ones) and then see!
Good luck and blue dust!

My doctor uses the Panorama nipt test. I've not heard much about this particular test on this site. I'm assuming it's as good as Harmony etc, is that safe to assume and worth paying for?

I believe they are very similar Roe, if not the same thing but with different names in different countries HArmony and panorama are both thumbs up

Thanks everyone...talked about it with my hubby and he sees no point in spending $800 and going through a hassle with the genetics counselor etc...will try to hang tight.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
