Sounds a bit dodgy to me. In this area there is a policy of not telling parents at scans. I would worry that people might use it for gender-selection purposes.

I bought one of those kits last year. The general consensus on a forum I was using was that they seemed to be accurate. I couldn't interpret the results of mine properly, maybe because I was expecting boy/girl twins. The first test I did seemed to indicate two girls, the second that at least one baby was male.

The people behind the kis claim they will NOT sell it in countries where there is a cultural preference for one gender mainly boys ..yeah right...anyways i don't think the accuracy can ever be 100%..even sonogram readings aren't always right..

they can't work

only an amnio can tell for sure IIRC, even scans can be wrong

I wouldn't use it

The article says the accuracy is 78-80%.
So its basically inaccurate and not worth wasting your money on.
