Hey everyone! New to the Bump and 8wks 3dys! So so happy to have a group I can come to for questions and concerns!
Ok, so my first sono is this coming Wednesday, May 25th, and they have scheduled me for the gender blood test on June 9, at about 11 weeks. We were so SO excited to be finding out the gender of our baby so soon, but now that we've told our family, I've heard that sometimes the gender blood test isn't always accurate. How accurate was it for you?? We would love to do a gender reveal some time soon, but if it's not close to 100% accurate then should we wait? Thanks in advance❤️
Re: Gender Blood Test!
@SA0012 it depends on your insurance and if you have any family history of certain diseases. We only have to pay about $150 out of pocket. If your insurance doesn't cover it, perhaps if you can show you or someone in your family or your partner's family is a carrier for a genetic disorder/condition, that may persuade your insurance to cover it. My understanding is the option to find out the sex is additional and almost never covered by insurance.
