WDYT Drug Store Gender Test

futremrsb · July 2010

Ok so the "early" prediction gender testing you can get at the drug stores?

What are your thoughts?

They do not work. Gender can not be determined from your urine.

snewman3 · July 2010

I think you should have fun! If you have the extra cash go for it and enjoy the possibility of the results. I don't know how accurate they are, obviously no worse than 50% haha, but something fun to do. I have not heard of anyone personally who used them to give you any better feedback than that. If you do choose to do it let us know your results

I posted the same question about 2 weeks ago and everyone (well mostly everyone) said it was a waste of money. Still I think Im going to do it just cuz it sounds like fun. It will also be fun to compare the results with my u/s results

Uh oh. You are going to get called a pessimist for not telling her it's an awesome idea and everyone should do it.

Dear GOD you piss me off!! GROW UP.

Who cares if it's completely bogus? What if they tell her she's having an asian baby and she and DH are hispanic? What the crap do you care? If she wants to blow $30 of her own money (NOT yours) on a test like that, as long as she knows it only has a %50 chance of being correct, who cares? It doesn't have to be a puppies and rainbows as some like to call it, but as long as she knows that it COULD be wrong- and if she still chooses to do it- blow off!

It said Boy when DD was clearly a girl. Someone bought it for me last time so I did it.

I know. Someone was asking everyone for an opinion though. And you made a rude comment for no reason.

I have to disagree with you. I've seen far far more rude things on these message boards. There is a difference between "rude" and "realistic." And I believe the original comment stating this fact wasn't made by KDodge.

There really isn't anything in urine that can detect the sex of your child, but if the OP can spend her money in any way she sees fit. I just wouldn't paint a room or anything.

Buy the test for fun if you want , but don't take it as law.

My friend bought me one last time, she thought it was soo cool and it was supposed to turn orange or blue i think..... it turned a muttled green . She laughed and said..... i guess that means alien

Gosh, I told myself I wouldn't get involved in these "conversations" but here I go anyway. lol I don't think the issue is with whether or not someone said these tests will work. The issue is with what Kdodge said in reply to someone saying they don't. It's the sarcasm and implication that everyone would be up in arms about the fact that someone said they don't work at all that I think is bothering people. That's at least what I got out of it.

That was a reference to the elective ultrasound post below. She was just trying to be funny.

This exactly what I was trying to say but, I was to annoyed to say it so well. If we didn't want to hear what you had to say we wouldn't be on here. I'm just asking that when someone "ASKS" for your opinion that you give it with some respect.
I guess I should have clarified. I wasn't talking about the original comment. I have no problem with people giving their opinions, even if they are snarky (and this one wasn't) In fact, I don't think they work either. I felt Kdodge's reply was rude and uncalled for. When I quoted her, it quoted the entire thing. I should have edited it.

I took one, it said boy, we'll see, I'll post later and say if if was correct/incorrect. I know they are probably bogus but I thought it was fun and everyone IRL I know that has taken one it was correct.

BTW- I love everyone. All puppies and rainbows. For real. Kdogde, Tiffany the mom, Snewman, as well as all you other scrappers and peacekeepers- I love you all. :-D

TessCPDF · July 2010

Oy. Here we go again. The gender tests you get in store are just a ploy to make money. It was tested, and probably worked for a subset of people so it made it to market. I'm guessing that it was right 50% of the time.

FWIW, I'm going with the trifecta - peeing in Drano, the Chinese gender calendar and hanging my wedding ring over my belly to see how it turns. Not all at the same time, though. That would be silly. Hmm

Jenniferk08 · July 2010

I feel they are not worth wasting the money.

Holy freak out over nothing. Chill pill. Find one.

I agree with TiffanyTheMom here. Your consistently rude comments do bug me sometimes, and I am sure other people as well. Maybe you are just trying to be funny and it is probably just your humor; but if that is what it is, it definitely does not come across in your replies. You just look like you are being rude and belittling people, for no reson really. Especially when they are just asking for an opinion.

I agree with TiffanyTheMom and katherley. I honestly don't know what it is, but seriously kdodge, every time I read one of your posts, it rubs me the wrong way, hard. I mean I could skip over them, but that's like skipping a paragraph in a book, what if I miss something important that will be followed up in the next post?! Stressful.

but ANYWAY... I want to take one just for fun! You never know how many times you're going to be pregnant! There's a lot of things you buy that don't work or you never use, who cares? But I'm not going to go out out and buy tons of pink if it says it's a girl haha

Annabelle0211 · July 2010

I took the test and it said girl. I dont know if it was right or not but I am not counting on a girl until I get my 20 week ultrasound so it didn't hurt anything. It was fun to take though.

Not to mention it would take some serious coordination to pee in Drano and dangle your wedding ring and watch it spin, at the same time. Add in chart-reading and, wow, you'd really have to be good!

stefeej · July 2010

i'm thinking i'll get one of the tests. DH and I are going to wait to find out so i think this will be something fun to just think about (not making any set plans or anything). i figure, i've wasted money on a lot dumber things than this-stupid infomercials that i just can't resist.

i say, if you'll have fun-do it!
