Need help with your test or have a question?

The Peekaboo test uses a small blood sample from the mother to isolate fetal DNA, which naturally circulates in her bloodstream during early pregnancy. Advanced lab technology then checks for the presence of the Y chromosome to determine if the baby is a boy. if no Y chromosome is found, it’s a girl. The entire process is handled with care by an all-female lab team to help avoid contamination.

Peekaboo can reveal your baby’s gender as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy, making it one of the earliest DNA-based options available. With over 99% accuracy when performed at the right time, it’s important to confirm your eligibility using the calculator before testing. Testing earlier than 6 weeks is not recommended due to low fetal DNA levels.

Yes! The Peekaboo Click and Click Express tests use an upper-arm collection device designed to be nearly painless and more comfortable than traditional fingersticks. This method is a great choice for moms who prefer a gentler experience or are uneasy about collecting blood themselves.

Peekaboo is not the right choice for pregnancies involving twins or multiples. Because results are based on detecting male DNA, the Peekaboo test can’t determine the sex of multiple babies. (It will tell you if one of the babies is a male, but it can’t tell you the gender of all of the babies.) Ultrasound remains the most reliable option in these cases.

For the best results, drink a full glass of water about 20 minutes before collecting your sample to support better blood flow. Clean your hands, nails, and work surface thoroughly, and use a fresh paper towel to dry your hands instead of a shared towel. Make sure you turn the water off with your elbow to prevent re-contaminating your hands on the faucet. These small steps help ensure a clean and successful collection.
