  • For those having boys, did it stay fizzy or did the fizz go away?

  • Ok I did it again and just like the first time I got the small bubbles and white on top, it's not a lot but definitely has some fizz.

    I read more closely online and everything says to pee directly into the cup so that is what I did.

    If mine was, in fact, fizz, it stayed fizzy.  Although admitedly, I didn't keep it for very long - maybe a minute.

    it fizzed like old soda or champagne and then started to fad away with a white bubble ring around the edge.

  • This thread is hilarious!  I had to play along out of curiosity since DH & I both have strong feelings our LO is a boy.  I peed into one cup, poured it into one with the baking soda in it, and it turned into a frothy white fizz!  I can officially update with results in approximately 8-12 weeks... whenever we can find out, seeing as I'm not even 9 weeks yet.  ;)

    This is the funniest thing I've read all day.

    I'm just sad I can't play since I'm having B/G! 

    Husband has cystic fibrosis. I'm a carrier. We did TESE, IVF, ICSI, and PGD. After two failed IVFs, we were blessed with our twins.

  • OK, so who is peeing directly into the baking soda cup and who is pouring from one cup to the other? Do you think that might make a difference? I'm definately trying this sometime soon so I want to get it right!

    I did both and the result was the same, although it was easier to pee into one cup and pour the pee into the baking soda so that you could see what was happening.

  • Really late to the game, I won't know until end of April of our gender but mine was flat, no fizz at all. I peed in one cup and poured into another cup with 2 tsp room temp baking soda. I even took the cup swirling it around to mix together and no fizz at all!
  • is there a rule to how many weeks along you are for it to work? I want to try! I am hoping for a girl but for some reason I feel boy-ish but all my friends say girl. although I'm worried this will make the next 8ish weeks go by sooooo slow lol
