Is
the science proven?
One of the most exciting outcomes of recent genetic research
is the discovery that there is fetal DNA in an expectant
mother’s blood as soon as five weeks gestation all
the way through to delivery of the child. During pregnancy,
small amounts of the baby’s DNA pass into the mother’s
blood stream. We are able to isolate and analyze this fetal
DNA from the mother’s blood sample obtained through
a simple finger prick. Pink or Blue® is specific for
detecting DNA from a Y-chromosome. The expectant mother
would not normally have Y-chromosomal DNA. Thus, if a Y-chromosome
is detected, we can determine she will have a baby boy.
If there is no DNA from a Y-chromosome, then we know that
the baby is a girl. It is that simple!
How accurate is Pink or Blue®?
The Pink or Blue® test is 95% accurate at
10 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period
(which is about 7 weeks post-conception). Click

your Pink
or Blue Eligibility Date. From our studies,
the 5% error rate was attributed to the home nature of the
Pink or Blue® test and user error such as
taking the test too early (less than 7 weeks post-conception),
not providing enough blood sample, having a male help with
the sample collection, and taking the sample in a non-sterile
environment. For more information, please read our Retest
Policy. Pink or Blue® has a quality assurance
