If you have a confirmed pregnancy test, congratulations on your new bundle of joy! This is an exciting time, but you may not want to wait until 16 weeks for your 2D Gender Reveal Ultrasound. You can find out sooner whether you're having a boy or a girl with the SneakPeek® Clinical Early Gender DNA Test.

​

SneakPeek® is a DNA-based blood test that can tell you whether you’re having a boy or a girl from as early as 6 weeks into your pregnancy.

​

  • Starting at 6 weeks into pregnancy

  • 99.9% accurate DNA-based blood test

  • Administered by phlebotomy professional

  • Results emailed straight to you in 5-7 working days!*

 

SneakPeek Clinical by Gateway Genomics is the only clinically proven early gender DNA test that lets you discover your baby’s gender months ahead of schedule, so you can prepare for your little one and share with family and friends! The test uses non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to look for male Y chromosomes from a small sample of your blood. If male Y chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. If none are found, baby is a girl.

​

SneakPeek is the leading provider and most accurate early gender DNA test on the market, trusted by over 500,000 mums and obstetricians.

​

How can SneakPeek® determine my baby’s sex?

​

  • If you’re pregnant, your bloodstream contains DNA from your unborn child alongside your own DNA.

  • If your blood sample contains male (XY) chromosomes, this means you’re going to have a boy.

  • If there are no male chromosomes present in your blood sample, it means you’re having a girl.

  • This gender testing method is 99.9% accurate at 7 weeks gestation.

  • First Glimpse Ultrasound NI is an approved SneakPeek® provider.

​

Frequently Asked Questions 

How do I confirm I am 6 weeks pregnant? 

It is essential to confirm that you are at least six weeks pregnant before taking the test. Undertaking the test prematurely may result in an insufficient amount of the baby's DNA in your blood sample for gender determination analysis. If you are uncertain about your gestational age, we advise using a gestation calculator, such as the one provided by the NHS, or postponing the test until you are 8-10 weeks pregnant.

How does SneakPeek work?

While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of your blood. If male chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. If none are found, baby is a girl. SneakPeek is 99.9% accurate at 6 weeks into pregnancy.

​

What is the SneakPeek process?

At SneakPeek Labs, a test process called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is used to analyse cell-free fetal DNA. Starting with a small sample of your blood, plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifuge, and extracted cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analysed for Y chromosomes, which are found only in males. The SneakPeek test is sensitive enough to find even a single Y chromosome, giving you confidence in your results.  This test in not valid for demise fetus or vanishing twin syndrome.

​

I’ve previously had a boy. Will that affect my results?

Clinical studies have shown that fetal DNA clears from mum’s bloodstream between a few hours to 2 days after birth.

​

I’m having twins. Can SneakPeek determine fetal sex for each one?

In the case of identical twins, if male DNA is found, then both babies are boys. If no male DNA is found, then both babies are girls. For fraternal twins (or more!), finding male DNA will confirm at least one baby is a boy, but cannot distinguish if the second is a boy or girl.

​

Do hormone disorders such as PCOS affect my results?

SneakPeek is a DNA-based test, so hormones do not impact results.

​

Do blood thinners affect my results?

SneakPeek looks only for the presence of Y chromosomes and is extremely sensitive and accurate. No blood thinners or other drugs are known to impact SneakPeek gender results.

​

Is this test safe?

SneakPeek Clinical is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), and it’s safe for both mum and baby.

​

How quickly can I get my results?

You will receive your result within 5-7 working days of your blood draw. This is subject to postal delays / strikes. Expect your result email between 4-8pm US Pacific Time the day your sample is received by SneakPeek. If your test is collected over the weekend, it will arrive at the Laboratory no earlier than Tuesday. 

​

Are results guaranteed?

SneakPeek Clinical is the most accurate early gender test on the market. If your test result does not match the gender of your newborn, you’ll receive a full refund for the blood test (£129).

​

How is my privacy protected?

We know your DNA information is personal. To protect your privacy:

  1. SneakPeek tests only for baby’s gender. No data is gathered about disease states or other health-related information.

  2. After the test is run, your DNA sample is disposed of by a professional chemical management company in compliance with federal standards.

  3. SneakPeek never shares your results with anyone other than the email address you provide.
