Is SneakPeek a pregnancy test? SneakPeek cannot confirm pregnancy. The test looks for male chromosomes in the fetal DNA found in mom's blood. If there is no fetal DNA in mom's blood, the test will return a girl result, because mom is a girl. On the off-chance that the test is contaminated with outside male DNA (even pets!), it may return a boy result. Please confirm pregnancy with your doctor prior to taking SneakPeek.
I'm having twins, can SneakPeek determin the Gender of each one? SneakPeek looks for male DNA in the fetal DNA found in mom's blood sample. 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, finding male DNA means at least one baby is a boy, but cannot distinguish if the second is a boy or girl.
Does a previous miscarriage affect my results? Clinical studies have shown that fetal DNA clears rapidly from the maternal bloodstream, within 1-2 days. Therefore, a miscarriage will not affect your current test results.
Does taking progesterone or other hormones affect my results? SneakPeek is a DNA-based test, so hormone medications and fluctuations have no impact on results. Learn more about SneakPeek’s Early Gender DNA Test Science.
I've previously had a boy, will that affect my test results? Clinical studies have shown that fetal DNA is undetectable in mom’s bloodstream between 1 to 2 days after birth. Therefore, a previous male-bearing pregnancy will not affect your current test results.
I used my last menstrual period (LMP) to calculate 6 weeks into my pregnancy. Are my test results reliable? Yes, your results are reliable! The clinical studies in SneakPeek's publications use LMP to calculate 6 weeks into pregnancy, and all have had accuracy rates over 99%.
Is the test safe? The SneakPeek Early Gender DNA Test is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), and it's safe for both mom and baby.
Why is SneakPeek Gender 99.9% accurate? Our previous studies used the gender of the baby determined by the 2nd trimester anatomy ultrasound to compare SneakPeek Gender results. While anatomy ultrasound sonograms are generally considered to be accurate, like any method other than live birth, they also have an error rate. Our most recent study uses sex at live birth as its confirmation method, the only accurate method, and found that the SneakPeek Early Gender DNA Test results matched 99.9% of the time. The incorrect gender was given in only 1 result out of 1,029 live births.
What if my sample results are inconclusive? Inconclusive results can happen with any type of lab testing. If this happens we'll set you up with a retest kit completely free of charge and repeat the process.
Why would a sample be inconclusive? First, we assure you this doesn't mean anything is wrong! We may just need a second look. When we send an inconclusive sample update email, it's because our team wasn't able to pull enough total DNA from your first vial to tell. We always have two SneakPeek lab technicians process samples, so we'll only ask for a retest if we're 100% sure the first vial didn't yeild enough total DNA info to tell one way or the other. Here are some reasons we may not have been able to pull enough total DNA to confirm a boy or girl result with the first try: The sample may have clotted (some clotting is normal, though a bit of extra clotting throughout the vial may make it tricky for us to separate the DNA to analyze fully). Our 30 day preservative solution may not have distributed enough to get into all of the nooks and crannies in your vial after closing the tube up and mixing (for any sample, the best way to mix after shutting the tube fully is by rotating the sample gently starting from all the way upside down to all the way right-side up ten times). The sample may have had a slightly lower volume (If you collected a volume smaller than the 500μl we ask for, please still send this in! Most smaller samples are still successfully processed). There may have been a very small amount of contamination during collection and we want a second peek for accuracy. Us having confidence in your result is just as important to us as it is to you! By chance, your sample may have just not gotten to us with enough total DNA! This happens every once in awhile with a collection and a retest almost always does the trick.
