The fetal gender can be known as early as 9 weeks of pregnancy, starting from the first day of your last menstrual period using our baby gender test. This is the fastest method available for determining the sex of your baby. However, levels of fetal DNA vary from pregnancy to pregnancy and there may not always be sufficient volumes of DNA in the 9th week to provide an accurate result. The volume of fetal DNA will increase with weeks of pregnancy which means the chances of success improve with increased gestational age. Our recommendation therefore is to take the sample at 10 weeks. You will need to have a good idea of when you conceived; please refer how to calculate the date of conception to understand more.

You can use our pregnancy calculator to help you calculate your dates. We always recommend consulting your gynecologist or family doctor should you be unsure.
