Has anyone tried a gender test? If so was it correct?

it will be right in about 50% of cases.

I read somewhere recently that the only "reliable" indicator is whether or not your boobs have grown in pregnancy. If they do, it's more likely to be a girl (something to do with raised oestrogen levels?) I have to say, in my first pregnancy my boobs didn't grow at all and I had a boy. In this one my boobs have grown much more and I'm having a girl, but tbh it's probably just because they've done it all before and have stretched a bit! All the others are definitely old wives' tales...a gender scan is the only way to know for sure!

Nope - two boys and a girl. Same breast growth when pregnant with all three.

The chinese one has worked for me all three times plus my sisters 3, and 3 of my friends whose kids birthdays i know :)

Probably just luck tho - gender scan is the only effective way of knowing.

My breasts have been the same throughout all my pregnancies also so it hasn't worked for me.

Iv seen these tests around on the market a while now and have all had good views but I'm still quite sceptical as I don't believe peeing into some powder will tell you the gender.

You're right to be sceptical - It won't tell you!

I bought a test that's kind of like a pregnancy test and it said girl, my boobs have also grown.

20 week scan showed boy.

I read somewhere that what the mother "feels" they are having, in 70% of the cases is correct.

Willough, if you want to know just find out at the scan Confused.

Google the nub theory and gender. Quite interesting read. Basically every baby at 12 weeks has a little nub where the privates are. It's the angle of the dangle which tells you boy or girl. Pointing up is a boy and parallel girl. I predicted my first correctly using this method and two other friends! Make sure to get scanner to get a photo showing the nub during 12 week scan

I went from a b to g cup with ds1 so breast growth theory wasn't right for me, done Chinese predictors are different I've done a couple and one said boy, one said girl.
