tmpob results in and devastated

Hi Girls Am new to in gender but really need advice and support. Have a boy and was desperate for a girl for a few reasons- did the tmpob blood test and got results back today- its come back boy. I have spent most of the day in a fog that I couldn't have expected and I am devastated- I am praying that it's wrong and am thinking about getting cvs test to know for sure. I had my heart set on a girl and it just seems like i have had that torn away. I have been on the forums for tmpob and I know that they can get it wrong I just hope that it's wrong for me- I am a mess- very few ppl know about the pregnancy and everybody knows that I am desperate for a girl/ I just don't know what to do. Any feedback would be appreciated - cannot tell close friends or family about pregnancy or result as they don't understand how much I wanted a girl and how awful it feels right now

How far pregnant are you?

Perhaps it's best to wait for your scan to find out. Try not to get yourself upset lovey

 I agree hun, wait for your scan first, the tmpob result could be wrong. 

Tmpob was wrong for quite a few women on this site. It might be good to start opening your mind to the fact this could be another boy though. I was convinced my second was a girl and I think a lot of my GD came from the fact that for some reason I felt I had lost a daughter because I had believed in her so strongly. With DS3 I had told myself boy from the start and it was a lot easier to take.

Just on ten weeks pregnant - am 35 so am going to probably get the cvs test done- i know I probably sounded like a nutter in that post- its a lot easier to write things down sometimes- thanks for your support

Hey, you don't sound like a nutter (((hugs)))

I asked my Dr. about this but he told me that it is not reliable, anyway you have to wait a little bit more to find out, I have a 3 year old boy and I am so happy with him, he loves his mommy so much! he is just like more mine,.... I just love him and you will love him or her no matter what, you will see! CONGRATULATIONS! you will have a baby, you don't even know how many couples would love to even be pregnant!!

Just to say that I've heard a LOT of complaints about TMPOB...a LOT. To be honest, it really isn't worth the money and I would never trust it. Try not to stress about it! Of course, you could very well have a little boy on board, but it's just as likely that you have a baby girl in there.

i never got that test done but i was convinced all of mine were boys. just wanted to say congrats and let you know 2 boys was my dream family. you will feel differently once you see how happily they play together.

I agree to just wait for your u/s until you know for sure.  In the meantime, prepare yourself for the fact that it could be another boy.  I'm 6 weeks along and I'm already telling myself that this is another boy so that way I'm prepared when I find out.  Not that I won't be upset if it's not a girl but I am afraid to get my hopes up.

 You know, I was just looking at the website and it said that in rare cases, a previous male pregnancy can alter the results.

This test has terrible reviews as does Intelligender!! Don't put ANY stock in it!!

I know a lot of people got all excited over TMPOB after that study was published stating that prenatal gender tests from the mother's blood are 95% accurate after 7 weeks, but if you actually read the study, the method used was NOT a few drops of blood on a card. The testing used involved several vials of maternal blood drawn in a sterile lab. There's lots of room for error in the TMPOB home test kit method. Hell, if a male is in the room that can throw off the results. There are only a few labs in the US that do the real testing, and I know at least one of them requires you to have your doctor order the test and tell you the results. Don't worry about TMPOB. It's not necessarily true. Oh, and that same study stated that the prenatal gender urine tests were "worse than a coin flip" for accuracy.

Hi xyxy Thanks for your post- I did do some reading but didn't see the info about how much blood they actually used for the lab testing. I live in hope that it is wrong and I know that there is a chance it could be- I was pretty careful with cleaning everything but as you said it doesn't take much for male DNA to contaminate and oth my husband and my son use the room I tested in so you never know!! Am praying for a small miracle! f&t x
