Peekaboo Early Gender Reveal
Determine your baby’s gender as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy, up to 10 weeks before standard gender reveal via ultrasound.
The quick process is performed by collecting a DNA blood sample from the mother.
Restrictions
-Mother must be at least 6 weeks pregnant to test.
-Prenatal DNA paternity testing cannot be performed if the mother is carrying multiples (twins, triplets, etc...).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Baby gender testing through Peekaboo is absolutely safe for both mother and baby because it is non-invasive. All that is required for testing is a small blood sample from the mother.
-
Peekaboo offers the very earliest gender detection of any DNA-based test and can be performed as soon as 6 weeks into the pregnancy with 99.5% accuracy. Our superior equipment and testing methodology make this possible. The test is not validated for earlier than 6 weeks.
-
The Peekaboo test is validated at 6 weeks of pregnancy or later. Accuracy at earlier times is unknown. There is an increased risk of an incorrect female result prior to 6 weeks’ gestation as the fetal DNA could be below the detection limit of the assay.
-
We know how important this test is to you and promise to provide the earliest, fastest, and most accurate gender DNA-test result on the market. We’re so confident in the accuracy of the Peekaboo test that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if the gender of your newborn doesn’t match your result.
-
DDC scientists isolate cell-free fetal DNA from the mother’s blood, followed by amplification of both Y-chromosome and autosomal-specific regions using the latest quantitative real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology. Analysts are looking for the presence of the Y chromosome, which only males have. If the Y chromosome is present, then the baby is a boy; if it is not present, then it’s a girl!
-
This test has not been validated for multi-fetal pregnancies. If you are expecting twins or other multiples, we suggest relying instead on ultrasound and ultrasound 4D for determination of your babies’ sexes.
-
There are no sex hormones in urine, and the presence of sex hormones is necessary for any reliable and scientifically-sound gender test. The Peekaboo early gender reveal test is a DNA test, and DNA does contain sex hormones. Peekaboo analysis looks for the presence of the Y chromosome in the DNA contained in the mother’s blood, which determines whether the mother is having a boy or a girl. This is the most reliable, scientifically-proven, and accurate process for early gender detection.
