Hi all, I have been on here for awhile now, but never posted. I knew I should not have taken this test. I took it at 10 weeks and got the results back saying GIRL. We already have a DD and were sooooo hoping for a boy this time. I feel horrible and am already trying to prep myself for our u/s and the GIRL news. The minute we found out we were preg the RUDE gender comments started and the pressure to have a son.

Anyway - Intelligender (no more reliable) says BOY.... but TMPOB came back GIRL.

Anyone get a GIRL result and it was WRONG??? Seems most people on here got incorrect boy results. Just curious. Thanks!

they were right for me (i wanted them to be wrong).

they actually have a good track record of being right- about 94% so there is 5-6% chance of being wrong. saying that, you may have tested a bit too early, as test depends on finding Y chromosome dna- if none is there, then computer says girl- but fetal dna doesn't appear in large enough quantities into the mother's bloodstream unitl at least 11 wks- so as i say, it may be a boy- maybe persuade them to retest you in a few weeks? gl

Country Belle- I only did IVF with ICSI. I didn't do PGD. I wanted a girl so bad I couldn't wait until my u/s to find out the gender. I would have done anything to know as early as possible

I asked the same question you did when I got my girl result. In my case I truly wanted a girl and wanted confirmation that is WAS correct. I only found one (two at the most) women who had a girl result be incorrect. Mine, fortunately was correct. I am having a girl! I even called and had them reassure me a girl result was correct. They were so sure they sent me another test for free. That too, said girl. My u/s at 16 and 20 weeks confirmed it!

Hi there,

I was just interested to know why you took TMPOB when from your previous posts it appears you did PGD? Just curious.

Thanks!

I think these tests are a complete waste of money and potentially heart breaking, either giving false hope, or breaking hope. You definitely have a chance of this still being your boy!

I got a wrong boy result, but there have been many women on here (one in particular got several) wrong girl results. Just a scam. Have you tired doing a search on this forum looking for wrong girl results?

TMPOB has been proven to be a complete SCAM!! They were wrong for me and many other women on this forum. They are correct half of the time and they still make a ton of money off pregnant women. You could very well be pregnant with a boy.
