How accurate are early at home gender blood tests at 7 weeks?

I done an at home early gender blood test through Alphabiolabs and just received my results today and was told it’s a girl. I was really hoping for a girl and I’m so anxious that it’s not accurate!
I was 7+5 when I done the blood test, and they say they can test from 6+ weeks. I’m so scared to get my hopes up in case the results are wrong.
Has anyone had a blood test been wrong before? I’ve heard it’s more common to have a false boy result as the blood sample could have been contaminated with male dna but how common is it to get a false girl result?

I have no idea about those tests, but you have a healthy pregnancy so I'd concentrate on that for now. Even scans aren't always right about the sex (not gender).

Gender/Sex does it really matter?! Seriously stop being so pendantic.

It really does matter. Sex is biological. Gender is a social construct. They are very different.

I never done it but 2 friends of mine did and it was right for both of them, 1 boy, 1 girl. Congrats!

You’re either a girl or a boy. Literally that’s it. No arguments. Just facts.

Obviously she’s happy with a healthy pregnancy and baby. Everyone who has a baby has a preference and those who say they don’t are lying! But out if you can’t be helpful. Seriously …. People on this app!!!
