Sneakpeek is supposed to be accurate from 6 weeks so we waited until 10 to be sure as of course it’s possible to be out a few days! We got a sneakpeek girl result at 10 weeks and trusted it but it was wrong! We knew there were cases of wrong results but usually around 6 weeks or boy results due to contamination with dads dna. We hadn’t heard of any wrong girl results so far into the pregnancy. As a doctor myself, I trusted the science. I had no reason not to believe it. So we named our ‘daughter’ and bought a whole wardrobe of girl clothes. I was so happy and knowing the gender really helped me bond.Roll on 7 weeks at a scan and we were shocked to be told baby girl was actually a boy. I knew ultrasounds weren’t 100% accurate so I convinced myself it was just the cord they saw. 2 more scan over the next 3 weeks agreed it was a boy. Sneakpeek reassured me it was virtually impossible with 99.9% accuracy and even showed me large scale studies where girl results were actually 100% right. We decided to repeat the sneak peek. We were offered a discount code but never received it so we just went ahead anyway, desperate to know. The result was now a boy!!! It was really hard as we were so bonded with our daughter and felt like we were starting all over again bonding with our son!! We were out of pocket as can’t return the clothes. And it was embarrassing to let people know - some of whom had bought girl clothes and knitted pink blankets already!!! I still believe in the science and I know ultrasound is probably even less accurate. (Mistaken cords, swollen girls, poor views…) I believe our wrong result was due to the lab giving us someone else’s results. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me given DNA tests are pretty conclusive. There’s either Y chromosomes or not!! Sneakpeek did honour a refund on both tests and we had results in a timely manner - 6 days in the UK. However I do not trust that the lab takes good care of our samples. I would also urge anyone who gets a boy result to be a tad cautious anyway as it’s easy to contaminate the sample with dads dna (eg skin cells under your nails) and things like vanishing twin syndrome can also cause them. If you had a girl result you can probably be more confident but maybe hold off buying those little dresses until the ultrasound backs up your results!
