The advances in the field of DNA testing allow a sex determination test of the unborn child by analysing
the mother's urine sample. The baby's DNA is isolated and examined for the presence of male and female
DNA. The presence of male DNA shows that the unborn child is male. Missing male DNA in the urine of
the mother shows that the fetus is female.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Baby Gender Test on Maternal

Blood
The current available techniques for prenatal baby gender tests (CVS and amniocentesis) are invasive and carry with their
use a small but significant chance of miscarriage. As a result, the current standard care offers an invasive prenatal gender
test only to those women whose risk of chromosomal or genetic abnormalities are greater than or equal to the risk of a
procedure-related loss. This means that the vast majority of women never receive the benefits of a gender test prediction.
The recent discovery of the presence of fetal genetic material in maternal blood has offered new approaches to non-
invasive prenatal diagnosis. Given the relatively easy identification of male DNA from fetal cells in maternal blood, one
clinical application is the non-invasive identification of male fetuses at risk for X-linked disorders. The second is a curiosity
application for the parents who would like to know the gender of the baby. This webpage explains in details how and when
you can do the non-invasive prenatal gender test.

Advantages of Fetal Cells Analysis in Maternal Blood - Order test NOW!

1. Analysis of DNA from fetal cells in maternal blood samples is a screening test that is a non-invasive prenatal procedure
and poses no risks to the mother or the fetus. The non-invasive baby gender predictor is based on the detection of Y
chromosome-specific DNA in maternal blood samples.

2. This DNA identity baby gender test is relatively inexpensive in comparison to invasive techniques such as CVS or
amniocentesis.

To learn more, read Misconceptions about the technology and an article in the Science magazine about the non-
invasive prenatal technology.

Timing for the Test Order test NOW!

Using DNA test from Health Genetic Center, a gender confirmation (Y-chromosome detection) can be done at 10 weeks
of gestation.

The procedure takes 7 business days, and the final report contains one of the following results:

- POSITIVE for the presence of Y-chromosome. Positive Y chromosome DNA test confirms the presence of a malefetus
in the recent pregnancy.

- NEGATIVE for the presence of Y-chromosome. Negative DNA test result confirms the absence of Y chromosome DNA
in maternal blood samples. This means that 1) the mother is carrying a female fetus or 2) amount of fetal DNA in maternal
blood is very low (lower than the detection limit of the DNA test). Please note that if the sample is collected after 10 weeks
of pregnancy then the technique is sensitive enough to detect a small amount of fetal DNA in mothers blood. Only in very
rare cases (less than 1%) this amount lower is than the detection limit at 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Sensitivity and specificity of the test - Order test NOW!

Sensitivity and specificity of the detection of male fetuses at 10 weeks of gestation for properly collected maternal blood
samples is more than 99%. It is very good.

Gender prediction tests to find out baby gender

Given below are various methods used for determining baby gender. These methods to find baby gender
are scientific and accurate. Commonly used sex determination tests and how the test is done is explained
below.

Chronic Villus Sampling Test or CVS Test

There are various technology oriented methods guiding the phenomena of gender prediction. Amongst
the various techniques used, the one performed following ten to twelve weeks of the last menstrual cycle
or missed period is known as 'CVS' or 'Chronic Villus Sampling'; whereby doctors diagnose a sample
tissue for the purpose of ascertaining birth or congenital defects.

The tiny bit of tissue is generally extracted from the external part of the fetal sac, around its placenta.
Apart from unfolding genetic disorders and chromosome centric maladies, the aforementioned test also
serves to highlight the gender of a baby. However the given technique is not without defect. It leads to the
possibility of miscarriage.

Gender DNA Test to Find Baby Gender

Another safer technique revolves around the use of DNA kit. It involves the mere testing of an expecting
mother's blood sample when she is six to ten weeks into her pregnancy. Performed in the pathological lab
this test can also be conducted by an able lab technician. It is based on the principle that fetal cells and
DNA cells of a conceived fetus can be traced in the expecting mother's blood stream. Scientific studies
 reveal that a part of fetal cells are released into the mother's bloodstream. Fetal cells containing DNA are
then analyzed because DNA can be readily categorized.

Thus the cells recovered without disturbing the given fetal content are tested to diagnose baby gender.
With the help of specific tests contained in the kit, it can be shown whether or not the given sample
contains DNA from 'y' chromosome. A sample testing positive for 'y' chromosome predicts the conception
of a boy baby; whereas a sample testing negative predicts that of a female baby. The test guaranteeing
up to 99% of accuracy is relatively safer as a test method because it does not cause disturbance to fetal
content.

Amniocentesis Test to Predict Baby Gender

'Amniocentesis' hinges on testing a sample fluid extracted from the amniotic sac which surrounds the
fetus. It is generally carried out around the eighteenth to twentieth week of pregnancy. A needle is
inserted to extract a small portion of the fluid. Cells evident in the fluid content are then tested to detect
possible abnormalities including 'down syndrome'.

In cases where the baby is subject to any potential genetic abnormality or that of gender abnormalities,
'amniocentesis' is prescribed. Also involving the hazard of miscarriage, this happens to be the most
reliable scientific method of baby gender prediction. Of late it is claimed that hazards of miscarriages are
less in the given method rather than that of Chronic Villus Sampling- the first method discussed.

Ultrasound Baby Gender Test

Depending on the nature of pregnancy and its associated complications, ultrasound is prescribed. Apart
from serving as the most popular method of gender prediction, it also helps to trace and monitor the
growth and development of fetus over the three trimesters. In course of monitoring the fetal condition, it
caters to gender prediction when the gestating mother is into her sixteenth week of pregnancy.

The technique gears to the transmission of sound waves high in frequency through the expecting mother's
tummy. Sound waves reaching the uterus are reflected back as echoes. Echoes reflected are then
transformed into an image on the monitor. Besides detecting heart beat of fetus and chances of ectopic
pregnancies, it is about ninety percent effective in respect of baby gender determination.
Ultrasonography or Ultra Sound Scan
Ultrasonography performed in the third trimester serves to deliver a correct result as far as gender
prediction is concerned. Surviving over forty years, this technique is yet to feature any adverse effect.
Pregnant mothers going in for ultrasound scan are advised to fill their bladders with fluid for the purpose
of better imaging.

Through ultra sound gender is detected by tracking the visual representations of the gradually developing
genital tissues in the first trimester and that of the reproductive organs in the later months of pregnancy.
Sometimes the position of the baby interferes with the accuracy of this method in gender prediction. It so
happens that the baby lies face down or positions itself behind the placenta thereby inhibiting the
technician to get the desired visualization. Even the skill of the technician is a point to be counted on as
far as the accuracy is concerned.

Accurate and Reliable Sex Determination Methods

Thus even the lab oriented technique such as ultra sound may not be fully reliable or hundred percent fail
proof. Amongst all the scientific methods discussed amniocentesis and CVS based on genetic sampling
are supposed to be the more reliable ones. But the dangers of miscarriages involved in them are equally
noteworthy.

Perhaps the test involving the use of a DNA kit is by far the safest with the prospect of 1% to 5% of failure
rate. Medically speaking, ultrasound techniques should be used for detecting fetal anomalies such as cleft
palate; other cardiac or other spinal defects rather than use the same for gender prediction.

In this regard it is worth mentioning that owing to a high incidence of female feticides, certain oriental
countries like India has legally banned any form of gender predetermination by the use of the mentioned
techniques. While the scientific methods are in vogue, with their required pertinence to fetal health; but the
use of the same in respect of gender predetermination has been strictly prohibited by law.

However in countries where it is legally permissible, gender prediction through scientific method is
definitely worth falling back upon as it facilitates mental and emotional preparedness on part of the
expectant parents
