Top gender FAQs

Find answers to any questions you may have

• How accurate is a home blood test for determining a baby’s sex?
  The SneakPeek Early Gender Test is clinically proven to be over 99% accurate when taken at 6 weeks gestation or later, backed by 9 published studies in scientific journals. It is used by over 1 million parents-to-be—earlier than an ultrasound and more accurate than a urine test.
• Is the gender prediction blood test safe?
  The gender prediction blood test is a noninvasive method of predicting a baby's gender, posing minimal to no risk to both the mother and the fetus. This safety profile, combined with its high accuracy, makes it a preferred choice for many parents-to-be who seek early insights into their baby's gender without undergoing invasive procedures.
• How early can the gender prediction blood test be taken?
  Our gender prediction blood test can be taken as early as six weeks into pregnancy—months before an ultrasound. Not sure if you're 6 weeks along? Use our Test Eligibility Calculator to check. You can also order ahead with confidence—our test kit is good for a year and comes with 30-day no-hassle returns.
• Does a previous miscarriage affect my pregnancy test results?
  Research indicates that fetal DNA is quickly eliminated from a mother's bloodstream, typically within 1-2 days. As a result, a previous miscarriage would not impact the results of your present test.
• How is the DNA blood sample taken?
  The SneakPeek Gender Test® analyzes fetal DNA in the mother’s bloodstream to detect male chromosomes. A small blood sample is collected using either the SneakPeek Snap (a virtually painless microneedle device) or the Lancet kit (which includes three finger-prick lancets). After collection, simply mail your sample to our Labs, where it is processed for over 99% accurate results. For those choosing SneakPeek Clinical, a professional will draw your blood for the early gender test at a nearby ultrasound office or assist with the Snap method before securely sending your sample to the lab for processing.
• How do I ensure an accurate test result?
  To keep your blood sample free of male DNA contamination:
  Lancet kit: 1) sanitize a flat surface, 2) wash hands and under all fingernails, and air dry.
  Snap kit: 1) wash hands and air dry, 2) clean a spot on the upper arm with provided brush.
• How are my results given to me?
  SneakPeek test results are delivered via email to the "results email address" you provided at kit activation. Your results email will be sent from [email protected] with the subject line "Your SneakPeek Result Is In!" With FastTrack, your sample is prioritized at the lab, and you'll receive the results the same day we receive your sample. With Standard, you'll typically get the result the day after we receive your sample.
