Hi Maureen,

Anything else? when I spoke to acu-gen after my 3rd u/s they said if the sex of the baby is different  at birth then the test results to send in the birth cetrificate for a refund. I asked about only sending a copy (cause I don't want them to have the real thing) and they said that would be fine but if there was any discrepency they might send me a special paper that I would have the baby touch and then send back to them. I'm not sure what all that was about but I also asked about sending them hospital papers with proof of the baby's sex because it takes like 3 months to get a birth certificate (atleast in CA). They said that those papers would probably be sufficient for a refund. They asked me for my name at the end of the phone call, and that was it. I really hope they're not out of business or something come January!

(sorry so long but I just wanted to share what they said to me on case any one heard anything different)

Anything else? Contacted AcuGen about conflicting results- they gladly reran my test at no charge. I thought I would still get same results, but when I looked at the screen the result said boy. I asked them how they could have changed- they told me the "vanishing twin" story. Basically, the female DNA diluted the sample and the male DNA was not detected. Only after the female "vanished" could they detect the male DNA. My early u/s showed no signs of twins- 7week u/s only 1 fetus and 10 week u/s only 1 fetus. Every u/s I have had has only shown 1 little baby.   

UPDATE: Contacted AcuGen about refund because of change in results on Oct 19- they sent refund for $550 on Oct 31. I am now 32 weeks.

Anything else? I had an ultrasound before taking the BGM at 8 weeks.  My doctor will back me up that there was no vanishing twin. Also, studies have shown that as soon as you have the baby, the DNA vanishes from your body. So, previous pregnancies shouldn't interfere with the results. I've spoken to a couple of physicians about this and they stated that the technology has not been perfected to determine gender from the mother's blood.  I would think that the test would have made the medical journals by now if it were legitimate.
