My doctor had me take a gender blood test about 2 weeks ago. Today I found out the sex of my baby. I am wary if this test is accurate or not. I don't want to tell anyone before I know for sure, we are planning on telling everyone in 2 weeks. I am debating getting an ultrasound done at 16 weeks (2 weeks from now) to confirm the test. Is this crazy? This is my first child and I was not aware of these blood tests and have never met anyone who had this done or knew about it. Any advice would be great. Thank you in advance!
Re: Opinion Needed- Gender Test
Cell-free DNA testing is really accurate. Likely more accurate than early anatomy scans. There's always a chance that the lab screwed up with anything, but I'd go ahead and trust it! It'll make for a fun story if you have to tell everybody that baby Jill became baby Bill later on

If it's the kind of test like I had (Panorama-but they have different kinds), then they not only do the genetic screening but you find out the sex. Those results are like 99% accurate. When I had my u/s a few weeks later, the tech confirmed what the blood test already said.
I was new to it too-I'm a FTM and I'm over 35, so I got it because of that. I would go ahead and find out the results, it's legit
