Frequently Asked Questions

The Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test is a do-at-home gender detection kit for expectant mothers who are just six weeks into pregnancy. Up until now, women have had to wait until they are four or five months pregnant to find out the gender of their babies through ultrasounds. The revolutionary Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test, based on fetal DNA in the mother's blood, is much more accurate than ultrasounds and in general costs much less. With this test a woman can be closer to her baby sooner. Knowing your baby’s gender, you can prepare earlier for the delivery of your new child.

Does the Gender DNA Test replace an Ultrasound?
No. The Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test does not replace an Ultrasound. Ultrasounds are used for medical or health reasons, not just checking the gender of a baby. Since an ultrasound is not always accurate in telling the gender of a baby and can take from four to six months to tell the gender, we offer you the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test. For a woman that is excited to know the gender of her baby early and wants accurate results, we recommend the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test.  A woman would know in just six weeks with our gender identity information and service. The Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test is a service and makes no medical or health claims.

How soon can a woman use the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test to determine her baby's gender?
If a woman has been pregnant for six weeks, she is eligible.  Six weeks of pregnancy means six weeks from conception.

How accurate is you Early Gender DNA Test?
The Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test is the most accurate gender test on the market. The test results are based directly on the baby's DNA.

Does DNA Profiles of America  guarantee the accuracy of the test results?
The Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test has a full money back guarantee. In the incidence of a false result, simply provide a copy of the birth certificate of your newborn, with an authorized matching name, to ensure the error.

What is the science behind your Early Gender DNA Test?
Recent scientific discovery has found that there is fetal DNA in an expectant mother's blood. In a natural process, fetal cells die and pass into the mother's bloodstream. As these cells break down, their DNA is released into the mother's own circulatory system (1). The cells decompose and free DNA is released into the mother's bloodstream. With only a blood spot of the mother's blood, we can determine if there is an Y-specific chromosomal DNA. If there is, the fetus is a male. If there is no Y-specific chromosomal DNA, the fetus is a girl.

What is the process from start to finish for finding out the gender of a mother's unborn child?
1. Purchase the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test blood spot collection kit  online or over the phone.
2. Using the kit, collect a blood spot with a painless finger prick.
3. Fill out the authorization form and return it with the blood sample in the pre-addressed, prepaid postage envelope to our testing laborartory.
4. Payment for the lab service fee can be made online or by money order.

Are there specific situations which could affect the accuracy of the early Gender DNA Test?
Yes. If a mother has a miscarriage, abortion, blood transfusion, we do not recommend the the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test.  In addition, there are a few rare instances which could affect the accuracy of the test. Sometimes a mother "starts out" with twin fetuses and then for some reason one of the embryos is naturally reabsorbed and only one baby is born. This is called a "vanishing" twin and is rare. In such rare cases, the gender test could be compromised, and we would then give a full refund.

Can I use the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test if I have a multiple birth pregnancy?
Yes. You may use the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test if you are expecting more than one child. The Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Testwill not determine the number of boys or girls you are expecting. However, since the Pink or Blue® Early Gender DNA Test  detects the presence or absence of DNA from the Y-chromosome, the test will let you know if you're expecting at least one boy or only girls.
