A: When you choose Peekaboo PRO to find out your baby’s gender over an at-home test kit, you can rest assured your experience will be simple, speedy, and stress-free. Some key advantages of using Peekaboo PRO include professional blood sample collection by a licensed phlebotomist and a significant reduction in male DNA contamination risks.

A: The Peekaboo early gender blood test is absolutely safe for both pregnant women and their babies-to-be. Peekaboo products utilize a type of non-invasive prenatal testing that allows mothers to accurately determine whether they will have a boy or girl. All that is required for testing is a small blood sample from the mother.

A: Peekaboo offers the earliest gender detection of any DNA-based test and can be performed as soon as 6 weeks into the pregnancy with over 99% accuracy.* Our superior equipment and testing methodology make this possible. Use the Eligibility Calculator on this page to see when you can test. The test is not validated for earlier than 6 weeks. Learn more about the science.

A: Peekaboo early gender DNA tests may be taken as early as 6 weeks into a pregnancy or later. Accuracy at earlier times is unknown. There is an increased risk of incorrect female gender test results prior to 6 weeks’ gestation, as the fetal DNA could be below the detection limit of the assay.

A: We know how important this gender prediction test is to you and promise to provide the earliest, fastest, and most accurate gender DNA-test results on the market. We’re so confident in the accuracy of the Peekaboo test that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if the gender of your newborn doesn’t match your fetal sex result provided by the blood test.

A: DDC scientists isolate cell-free fetal DNA from the mother’s blood, followed by amplification of both Y-chromosome and autosomal-specific regions using the latest quantitative real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology. To determine the baby’s sex, analysts look for the presence of the Y chromosome, which is only found in male DNA. If the Y chromosome is present, then the baby is a boy; if it is not present, then it’s a girl! Learn more about PCR. Learn more about the science of Peekaboo.

A: Gender blood tests are not validated for multi-fetal pregnancies. If you are expecting twins or other multiples, we suggest relying instead on ultrasound and ultrasound 4D for determination of your babies’ sexes rather than a using a gender blood test.

A: We understand Peekaboo is an important test for our customers, which is why we keep test times to a minimum. Before scheduling your gender-reveal party, please consider possible shipping delays or the need for additional sample testing. We suggest waiting to schedule your party until you have your test report in hand.

A: A pregnant mom’s urine contains no fetal sex-specific characteristics, such as fetal DNA or hormones. Any urine test that claims predict your baby’s gender is likely inaccurate. Detection of male fetal DNA is necessary for any reliable and scientifically-sound gender test.

The Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test looks for the presence of the Y chromosome in the baby’s DNA which begins circulating in the mother’s blood very early in pregnancy, which determines whether the mother is having a boy or girl. This is the most reliable, scientifically-proven, and accurate process for early gender detection.

A: There are many wives’ tales that claim to predict a baby’s sex. Some examples include the baking soda gender test, the red cabbage gender test, the wedding ring gender test, and more. While these at home tests can be a fun experiment to try, they have no scientific merit and are no better at gender prediction than a coin flip or mother’s natural instinct.

When it comes to determining the gender of a baby during pregnancy, the only reliable methods include a diagnostic test like the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test, a prenatal screening such as NIPT testing, or an ultrasound scan.
