Eta: just saw about not clogging the thread... I promise not to comment any more 😆
But I have to wait a bit. I'm only 9w3d.
💖💖 We are having a girl! 💖💖
There’s different levels of blood tests- kind of like there’s different levels of cars made by the same parent company. The normal screen offered to your non-AMA, non-high risk mom is what I’d call the Ford level of testing. It looks at different levels of hormones and such in your blood to make risk determinations. If it comes back high risk, you’ll offered the Lincoln level
The Lincoln is more of a genetic test than a screen, but they still call it a screen. It looks in the mother’s blood for fetal genetic material and analyzes it for specific mutations and trisomies/monosomies. In addition, they are also able to determine if there is the presence of Y chromosomes because they’re looking closely in your blood for fetal DNA. If there is, they declare boy. If not, they say female.
Back in 2014, these tests were really only offered to the AMA moms. In 2016, it expanded to include all high risk moms and certain providers. Now, it’s becoming more mainstream to offer it to all moms as the tests become more widely available, but it’s not always offered.

Today, they called and we’re having a baby GIRL!
I started crying instantly, just because that’s all my dreams have been about. I’m so happy knowing that Elliott will have a little sister.
The woman at the bakery may have accidentally let the gender slip but I don’t know for sure. I was SO bummed yesterday and it has been driving me crazy. But as it gets closer to find out, I’m feeling excited!!

The "test" you speak of pulls actual fetal DNA from the mother's bloodstream. It's the baby's actual real DNA.... so the sex chromosomes found there are going to be conclusive.

TTC since 2/16
BFP 2/4/19
EDD 10/15/19
I did the Ramzi Therory (for fun ONLY) and it said I’m having a girl. But the fetal DNA says boy. So obviously, I’m having a boy.
Ok, I’m ready for my tar and feathers... 😂
