    urine test for gender!

    Hi Ladies,

    I just got my bfp a few days ago after swaying for a year! Came off the girl diet straight after ov so have been eating normally for a good few weeks. During swaying my ph was low (3.5-5.5 ish) but i just tried the urine test for gender and it was already a 6.1!!

    When are you supposed to be able to test urine for gender (i know its a bit of fun and not an exact science)? Have i tested too early, am not yet 5 weeks. Also could coming off the diet have made it shoot up or could it indicate that i am expecting boy number 3??

    Would love to know what you ladies have experienced with this!!

    I think urine pH is strongly linked to diet! although most women will still be eating the same diet at 8 weeks as they did at preconception so it might be accurate for them, just not for those who change diet after a BFP

    The urine test is a waste of money. There is a new blood test that is supposed to be accurate. Urine is not.

    Thats exactly what i keep telling myself! Wish i would listen!! I wouldnt even think at this stage that the baby is that much a part of my system to be affecting my urine ph right?

    I would not get a urine test. Blood test is accurate though you usually need a reason for it. We got it with Honor due to RH issues. It is accurate early, around 8 weeks, but usually done between 10-15. Lenetix labs did ours.

    *Congrats* You can do the red cabbage gender test from you tube anywhere from 8-10 weeks. I have not seen one person have anything different from their result. It's accurate, so try it! As for intelligender.. I haven't seen it be that accurate. There's one called Gender Maker that is more accurate than IG. Have fun and come back and tell us results! ~Butterfly~

    Hi

    Have heard that the urine test is unrealible as all about
    What you are eating/drinking? Depending on what you have
    Shows girl or boy. There was a whole thread on it before.
    Think on ig

    they all lied to me but if you are bored and want something fun to do. i did the following. intelligender. costs about 30 bucks. told me girl. cabbage, boil the cabbage and put fmu on it= girl result. baking soda, you add 1tsp to fmu. if it fizzes its a boy if nothing happens its a girl= girl result. ring test put your wedding ring on a string and hang it over your belly= another girl result. laboroflove has a great chinese gender chart it will convert everything to your actual chinese age and month for you. most chinese baby charts are 50/50 for me. i get 3 correct. this one was actually correct with 4 of mine. again another girl result. you could check your eyes. if you have little fish hooks we veins at 5 and 7 in the left eye its a boy. surpringly this was correct for me. the other one that was correct was the bleach test. you add equal amount of fmu to bleach. if it looks like sprite its a girl if it foams up like beer its a boy. mine foamed.but remember its all for fun. keep me posted on your results and then the confirmation. i love hearing if they worked for anyone.
