Find Out Your Baby's Gender From Just 6 Weeks
For many expectant parents, finding out whether they're having a baby boy or baby girl is one of the most exciting moments of pregnancy.
Traditionally, parents have had to wait until later pregnancy for an ultrasound scan to potentially identify their baby's sex.
The Early Baby Gender Blood Test uses fetal DNA circulating within the mother's bloodstream, meaning your baby's sex can potentially be identified from just 6 weeks into pregnancy.
How Does the Early Baby Gender Blood Test Work?
During pregnancy, small amounts of your baby's DNA circulate within your bloodstream. This is known as cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA).
A venous blood sample is collected from the mother and sent to a specialist laboratory for DNA analysis.
The laboratory looks for genetic material associated with the Y chromosome.
If Y-chromosome DNA is detected, this indicates a baby boy. If Y-chromosome DNA is not detected, this indicates a baby girl.
How Accurate Is the Baby Gender Blood Test?
The laboratory DNA test is advertised as 99.9% accurate when performed at the appropriate stage of pregnancy and when a suitable sample is obtained.
It is important to make sure you are far enough into your pregnancy before testing because there needs to be sufficient fetal DNA circulating within your blood for laboratory analysis.
How Early Can I Have the Test?
The earliest you can have the test is 6 weeks pregnant.
However, waiting until approximately 8–10 weeks is recommended where possible because the amount of fetal DNA circulating within the mother's blood generally increases as pregnancy progresses.
Testing too early can mean that there is insufficient fetal DNA within the sample to determine the baby's sex.
Why Wait Until 8–10 Weeks?
Although testing is available from 6 weeks, there may only be a relatively small amount of fetal DNA circulating within your blood at this very early stage.
Waiting a little longer can reduce the chance of the laboratory being unable to obtain sufficient fetal DNA from your sample.
If you're unsure how many weeks pregnant you are, it may be better to wait until your pregnancy dates are clearer before arranging the test.
Is the Early Gender Test Safe for My Baby?
Yes. This is a non-invasive prenatal blood test.
No sample is taken directly from your baby or from the pregnancy itself.
The mother simply has a standard venous blood sample collected from her arm, which is then analysed for fetal DNA.
How Quickly Will I Find Out?
Results can be extremely quick.
If your sample reaches the laboratory before 11am, same-day laboratory results may be available.
If your sample arrives after the laboratory's 11am cut-off, results are normally available within 2 working days.
Please remember that transport time between Rènü Dermatology and the laboratory is separate from the laboratory processing time, so same-day results cannot be guaranteed from the time of your appointment.

Perfect for an Early Gender Reveal
Finding out your baby's gender early means you can start planning your announcement or gender reveal weeks before you would usually expect to find out at an ultrasound scan.

Can I Keep the Result a Surprise?
Yes. If you're planning a gender reveal and don't want to know the result yourself, you can arrange for your result to be handled appropriately so that your chosen person can receive or view it for you.
Please discuss this with us when arranging your appointment so the result isn't accidentally revealed to you.
What If There Isn't Enough Fetal DNA?
If testing is performed very early in pregnancy, there is a greater possibility that there may not be enough fetal DNA within your blood sample for reliable analysis.
This is why, although the test is available from 6 weeks, waiting until approximately 8–10 weeks is recommended where possible.

The test costs £165 including your professional in-clinic venous blood draw at Rènü Dermatology in Lymington.
How early can I find out my baby's gender?
The test is available from 6 weeks of pregnancy. However, waiting until approximately 8–10 weeks is recommended where possible to allow more fetal DNA to be present within the mother's blood.
How accurate is the baby gender blood test?
The DNA-based laboratory test is advertised as 99.9% accurate when performed at an appropriate stage of pregnancy with a suitable sample.
How does a blood test know if it's a boy or girl?
The laboratory analyses fetal DNA circulating within the mother's blood and looks for Y-chromosome DNA. Detection of Y-chromosome DNA indicates a male fetus; if it is not detected, the result indicates a female fetus.
Is the test safe during pregnancy?
Yes. It is non-invasive and only requires a standard venous blood sample from the mother's arm. No sample is taken directly from the baby.

Same-day laboratory results may be available when the sample reaches the laboratory before 11am. Samples received after the cut-off are normally processed within 2 working days. Transport time to the laboratory must also be taken into account.
What happens if I test too early?
There may not be enough fetal DNA within your blood for the laboratory to determine your baby's sex. Waiting until approximately 8–10 weeks can reduce this risk.
Can I use the result for a gender reveal?
