Genetic test was wrong! I'm having a boy!

RoeniRoeni member
in Pregnant after IF
So my instincts, the OB, and MFM were all right in their guesses back at 14 weeks! This is the first time they've seen this happen! I always knew I was having a boy even when I got the results of the ultrascreen genetic test! I called the number 5 times and listened to the recording, "congratulations, you are having a girl!"

    Did they give you a possible reason for the confusion/mix-up? If you had the genetic test done early is there anyway it was baby b they "picked up"? I hope that isn't an insensitive question! I'm genuinely curious as to how that happens.

    I have to wonder if they gave me someone else's results by mistake or if the twin we lost was a girl and it skewed the results somehow?

    Genetic testing is based on DNA, so it is 99.9 percent correct. I am not sure what they got wrong. I am confused. But either way you get to find out soon enough!

    Was this just a test of your blood? Or did they do an amnio? If the former, it can be wrong because they are just looking for the presence of male dna. If they don't find it, they call female. So, my guess is that the sample was too small or they just didn't detect the male dna.
    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier

    BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12

    This. How many weeks did you do the bloodiest? Which one was it? The earlier you do the test the more likely this can happen. It will not pick up the y chromosome dna and call it female. For this reason, it could be wrong with saying it's a female but I don't think it would be wrong if it said male.

    I got the test at 14 weeks...it was not early and two doctors could already see boy parts. The ultrascreen is just like panorama or materni21

    I am nearly positive that the ultrascreen is the same test I had with DS (and will have with this LO) where they tell you the sex, too.  My guess is that the sample they got from you was not large enough and there just happened to not be any male dna in the sample.  My understanding is that they only look for the presence of male dna--i.e. y chromosomes. They probably did not see any and so called "girl."  I think it is easier to have a false "girl" reading than a false boy reading because of this reason.  I have also read where the results are about only 99%...so, really, 1 out of every 100 times it is going to be wrong.
