I just bought a gender prediction test from walgreens

Tiger-lily1

Has anyone else used it? ?the directions says to use first morning urine... so i guess I am just going to have to wait till tomorrow. ?Our ultrasound is next week... but I can't wait any longer.

MrsBeckO

We opted not to waste our money on it and just wait for the ultrasound given the fact there's a 50/50 chance it will be right.?

Sequoyah Shoars

yeah, those things are a waste of money. they are accurate 50% of the time, just like guessing.

just wait for your u/s. i waited for mine.

FutureHardings

You could have asked one of us... we would have given you a 50/50 answer too... sorry, but those things are the biggest rip-off.

jonsdeedee

There is no baby dna in your urine so they are basically a waste of money and right 50% of the time.

mrsmel

that kit = crock.

dswed0407

What is 1 more week when you've already waited 19??

PuppyMommy

I also think they are a waste of money, but I am curious  - how much was it?  I don't know. In the grand scheme, a week is nothing.  I'd rather put the money towards something else, but if you are happy then that's all that matters.

GiniMcGlothin

If you have extra moeny to waste, can you send it my way?  I just lost my job and could have given you a 50/50 guess on the gender of your baby for the money.

Tiger-lily1

It was $29... too me it didnt seem like a big deal so i just went for it. ?It says that the results are $82% accurate... so i guess that is better than 50/50. ?I am just?inpatient?so I will go for anything... we will see if it works. ?i was just wondering if anyone else had used it before...

Ivana_Stolichnaya

$29???  OMG, I would return it and wait the week.

Don't open it - return it. It's a simple ph test strip. Supposedly low ph means boy and high ph favors a girl but depending on what you eat or drink your urines ph can be either way regardless of what you're having. They can claim 82% accurate all they want, it's not true based on the complaints all over the internet. Not to mention you can go buy (or get for free) some ph strips from a fish store and pee on them for a lot less hassle.

LMAO I see these things advertised in magazines all the time and wonder if anyone actually falls for it and throws their money away on them...lol

Regardless of what the test says - will you believe it until you have your big u/s?!

you could have bought the baby something USEFUL with that money...

Jessie_dc22

I seriously didn't even know they sold these things.  We opted not to find out the sex of our baby -- so we wouldn't take the test anyway -- but wow. 

MrsV092207

Post a pic of your belly and do a clicky poll to see what people guess you are having.  Same concept and it's free.  Unless it said it was 100% accurate I would not waste my money.

Take it back... and don't believe everything you read.

peppermintgirl

You can wait longer, and you will. That test isn't going to tell you what you're having. It may be right, but it would be a lucky guess. You could have just as easily sent one of us the $30 and let us take a guess, and it would have the same chance of being correct.

LillyBug923

You could have just written me a check for $30. I'll predict for you.

Girl!!

Of course you can spend your money on whatever you like... but hurry and pee on it and share the results.  Then get back to us after your big U/S.

I'm going to spend the rest of my day thinking about things that I can market to pregnant woman.  I'm thinking that I need a pee strip that can guess how much weight I'll gain.

lmfao... 82%, huh? There is no DNA in pee - it's guess is as good as mine...

You're having a boy. That'll be $29 please.

Take it back and buy a big pack of diapers.  There is a much greater chance that those will be useful than that test you are taking.

Ladies, the OP already has her mind made up that this is her miracle instand gratification solution to gender prediction. Let her pee on her $29 and just feel sorry that her poor DC has such a gullible mother. Meanwhile, the rest of us will enjoy a nice snicker at her expense.

lvisser

I might just LOL when her ultrasound comes back inconclusive and she trusts the $29 dollar test... haha
