How Accurate is The Sneak Peek Test?
I took the Sneak Peek Test with my last pregnancy and my current pregnancy. There is a lot out there on how accurate this test is. I have had a positive and false test. Here is my opinion, on how accurate the sneak peek test is.
What is it?
What is the sneak peek test, you ask? You can determine the gender of your baby, as early as, 7 weeks, with a blood test! You have the option of going to a lab, where they also do 3d ultrasounds. Or you can order a test online to do it yourself, at home.
Positive Test
With my 3rd pregnancy, my husband and I decided to get the test done at a lab, before we knew we could purchase it online. I am actually not even sure if that was a choice just 2 years ago! However, after two boys, we really wanted to know if we were having another boy or not. And of course, we are one of those couples that has to know the gender ASAP!
I made an appointment and it was a quick in and out. The nurse takes your blood and sends it to the lab. In just a few days and up to a week, MAX, Sneak Peek sends you an email with the results. My results were boy and I had a boy! It was confirmed during my ultrasound, at the ObGyn office.
False Test
Now with my current pregnancy, it was a false test, I could already see it would be a negative test. When you do the test at home, any and I mean ANY contamination with males will alter your results. I live in a house full of boys. I knew the test would not be accurate. Every inch of my home has been touched by my sons or husband. I did the best I could, taking the test at home! My results were boy. I wasn’t surprised because we thought, what are the chances of having a girl after 3 boys?! Well, well, since I am now 35 years old, I was able to get the NIPT test, which checks for chromosome abnormalities and gender. I was super shocked when the doctor told me I was having a GIRL! WOW! The ultrasound was also another confirmation that my baby’s gender is female.
How Accurate is the Test?
I had the experience of taking the test at home and at an ultrasound lab. Personally, I think, the test is 99.9% accurate when taken at an ultrasound lab, versus at home. There is a lot more contamination at home when you have your husband and sons at home! Either way, it is a fun test to take. For the most accurate results, I suggest taking the Sneak Peek test at a lab!
Will you find out the gender of your baby?
Did you take the snap (arm) or finger prick version? Thanks!
Hi! I took the finger prick at home. When I did at the lab it was on the arm.
