Do Intelligender counter gender tests work? Our Results.

by

Chris called me the other day and said he saw an OTC boy/girl gender test by Intelligender at the store. After some research and chatting with others online, it appeared that the test was approximate “80%” accurate and could be taken, get this, anytime after 6 weeks. I figured since you have a 50/50 shot at guessing right anyway, the statistics didn’t overwhelm me.

I mean how accurate is the intelligender test?

However, because we are a sucker and it was a novelty item of fun, we decided to see if we are having a boy or a girl and test out this over the counter gender test.

So last night we were out for our Valentines dinner and on the way home stopped at Rite Aid and bought a test. This morning I go to take it and open it up and someone had stolen the entire testing unit out of it. Really, who the hell does that? Is the maybe gender of your child worth STEALING a $30 cup out of a gender kit?

Having to pee but not ready to be defeated, I ran back up to the store and they had one more kit. I opened it this time and it had the proper parts, so I took it home.

Here is everything you should have in the over the counter Boy or Girl Gender Testing kit… a cup, a syringe, and a test strip cup that has chemicals loose on the inside.

Now you may be asking yourself, do over the counter gender tests work? I mean can you actually use an over the counter test to determine gender of baby?? Let’s find out!

How to use the OTC Gender Test

Step 1:

Pee in a cup. Yum. Then have your husband (he he) add the pee in the cup via the syringe. It has an open hole on the top and a sticker to seal and then swirl.

Step 2:

Once the pee is inside, you have to swirl and sit down. The chemicals inside start to react. You have to wait 5 full minutes for the chemicals to stop bubbling and the color to be prevalent. You cannot read the test past 8 minutes or it can become invalid.

  1. Unchanged, orange, or yellow indicates girl.
  2. Green, dark green, or grayish green indicates boy.

Intelligender Accuracy? According to this test….its a boy. Ill update when I see a real dr.

Charlotte cried.

  1. I took this test last night. I bought it because this is my first child and I’m only 12 weeks so I’m too anxious to wait and see what it is at the ultrasound. It said boy. All of my friends who have taken this have received that theirs was a boy and they were all correct. But after reading this reviews I’m scared about it being a girl. ): has ANYONE ever received a girl result before?

    • I’m sorry I meant to say I bought this test last night and I took it this morning! I did everything accordingly even didn’t have sex for 48 hours.

  3. Mine test came out girl at 12 weeks and guess what. Ultrasound I had yesterday clearly seen I’m having a boy. This test is a big waist of money

  4. Omg has anyone noticed the test always comes out as boy never girl I do not trust the this test at all

  5. I had seen the endorsement for this product on the show The Doctors. I bought the 2 kits and followed the instructions perfectly. Both times, the kit predicted a boy – dark green results. I did the first one at 11 weeks and the second one at 16 weeks, thinking by the second date, the gender should be detectable. Both times, it was wrong. I am having a girl, confirmed by amnio and ultrasounds. Total waste of money.

    • I did a test this morning and it said boy, since I already have a boy I hope the test is wrong like yours was.

  6. Hmm so I took one last week (11) weeks and it said boy… I feel as though it might be a girl, ill post when i know for sure!!! I have a 7 year old daughter now so she will be happy either way, but def wants a baby sister:)

  7. My doctor did an ultrasound at 18 weeks and he said we were having a girl and i just did the test just for fun bc my sister-in-law is pregnant and won’t know for another two weeks but the doctor told her that he thought that she was having a boy. I took the test to check for accuracy before she took it or got her hopes up. My results are boy! what the heck! I’ve spent tons of money on clothes, have already painted, got the nursery ready and everything!!! now I’ve just got doubts on the reliability of my doctor! I’m soooo confused. Not cool. whether this is just for fun, they should not promote 80-90% accuracy on something that is not. I swear, I followed all the instructions to the t!

      • While I would go with my doctor over the test, both can be wrong. My sister was a “boy” until she popped out,which you would hope things have changed since way back then. However, a few years back when I was visiting a friend at the hospital, some people came out of a newborn’s room and I heard them saying, “Poor guy doesn’t have anything to wear. They just knew he was a girl.” Remembering this made me super nervous when I was pregnant the first time.

  10. When I was 10 weeks to the day pregnant with my ‘daughter’ I took this test. I was so excited to know what the gender of our baby was going to be. Even though my husband adamantly poo pooed the idea of a urine gender test I thought it was fun. So the instructions said you could take it as early as 10 weeks. Since I had just been to the doctor’s office I knew I was 10 weeks for sure. It said I was having a boy. Looked just like the picture above. As green as green can be. Eight weeks later, “It’s a Girl!” So needless to say I”m thrilled we have a little girl. I must have been a part of the 5 or 10% who receive an incorrect reading. My cousin whose ‘son’ was born 3 days before my daughter also took the test and it said she was having a girl. So take the results with a grain of salt :o)

  11. Ok this is awesome! I was at Walgreens the other day and was in awe of all the OTC tests you can buy and now this is added to my list of cool. If the test is correct I’m so adding this to my list of pregnancy needs. LOL! Poor Charlotte. Well she should look at it this way, now she won’t have to share her toys. 😉

  12. Aw how cool. I can’t wait to see the results … though really even Ultrasounds can be wrong sometimes lol. I know on an old board 3 moms were pregnant at the same time and all three said girls ….. and when they delivered 2 of them came out boys.

  16. My husband didn’t believe me when I told him about the test. I had done it just to see what it would say. It had turned out to be right! We are having a boy. Aww..poor Charlotte. I’m sure she’ll come around.

  18. hummm, interesting…. will be interesting to see if it rings true or not. If it is Charlotte will eventually get used to the idea of another penis in the house 😉 either way, boy or girl… you win 🙂

  27. Did you use your first morning pee? I took it twice because the first time I did not use my first morning pee, I used afternoon pee. It defaults on Boy and my afternoon pee said boy. But first morning pee was girl. So weird how it works.

  28. Poor Charlotte! Lol I do have a feeling that it’s a boy though, Trisha. I love you and I’m not trying to “curse” you I swear!n lol =] That baby will be loved no matter what and I know it. Boy, Girl, Red, Green, Purple, Two heads, Three Feet… =P

  37. lol, awesome! Can’t wait to hear if it is accurate! If it was not so much money I would say to buy another and see if you get the same results lol

  42. Aww poor Charlotte. I won’t say I told you so because every gender I’ve ever guessed has been wrong, even with all of my own kids. So me guessing you have a boy means you’ll probably have a girl.

    • its a 50/50 shot regardless. LOL! Thats almost the irony of the test..maybe they put it out cause they had a good shot of getting it right a majority of the time since there were only 2 choices.

  43. I did this at 11 weeks I think and couldn’t really read the results. I had a feeling we were having a boy anyway so that’s what we decided the test results showed. Guess you’ll find out after 18 weeks or so!

  47. You got Chris to play with your pee? WTF! That’s hilarious right there! Hope you had a good dinner last night. And you hooked him up after-dinner. Especially since he had to play with your pee the next morning.

  49. *looks smug* and doesn’t say “I told you so” but you can tell by the look on my face I’m repeating it over and over in my head.
