so - i have recently been told about this product - Intelligender - a urine test that is supposed to tell you the gender of the baby you are carrying...in your uterus...not your arms...i just wanted to be clear on that...
anyway - their website says it has an 82% - 90% accuracy rate...but how the hay does it work? anyone know? anyone done this? it looks like it tests a pH balance or something because its based on color (or maybe that is the pool girl in me?)
my midwife's daughter did it...it said boy, and that was confirmed a couple weeks ago when she had her ultrasound...but that is the only person i know that has done it.
i am a little curious to try it, but you know what they say - a little bit of knowledge is dangerous...anyone have any thoughts either way on this?

Sounds INTRIGUING!!!
I have totally heard of this, but I don't know anyone who has done it.
I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT! (not shouting, just excited)
Is there a certain week/month/time you have to do it so it is more accurate?
Ok, now I read the website...
It looks as if it tests the hormones in your urine, since it doesn't work if you have PCOS (hormone imbalance) or if you are taking progesterone. And they say that if it is fraternal twins, and there is one of each gender, the test will say boy... so my guess is that it is testing for the elevated levels of testosterone. This is probably why they have a 15% inaccuracy rate, because some women naturally have higher/lower testosterone levels that could effect the outcome.
If I weren't 3 weeks away from my own ultrasound, my husband would probably insist I try it. Looks interested and worth a go (although I thought you weren't finding out?). Let me know if you try it!
That last one was from me: Rachel. :)
i meant we arent having another ultrasound by finding out...of course i am going to pee on comet crystals and do the ring test because i think they are fun...i guess i look at it like that...even though they say it has a much higher accuracy rate? i am still on the fence...my husband thinks it is silly and not worth $35...
