Dear parents,
Has anyone of you taken the NIPT test for baby's health checker & gender and then it didn't turn out as per results?

Eg, result said boy, but on screen and ultrasound (detailed scanning) said it's a baby girl?

Just curious any cases like this before

I can simply look up online sites and get feedbacks but those sites are all online marketing sites. They'll tell you what you want to hear.

I hope to get personal experience or friends or family who have experience this situation.

Thank u in advance

Turn to the back of the report. There is a list/disclaimer to the accuracy level. If I remember correctly, gender accuracy is 90%.

I did not take detailed scan but when I asked my doctor during ultrasound if it's possible to see the 'little thing'. She told me there's no need for that because NIPT is very accurate, so far she does not have patient that turned out NIPT gave the wrong gender.

How sure is your doctor/sonographer that your baby is a girl from the scanning? Which week did you took your NIPT?

My advice for you would be to hold on to the gender reveal from family (if you haven't do gender reveal). Especially family that have expectations on getting a first boy/girl. We have keep the gender secret from family just in case NIPT is wrong. Every time we were asked, we just said, "Baby too active, difficult to see clearly."

Ultrasound is our usual check up where we can see baby on screen yea?

Detailed scanning is to check whether baby have enough toes and fingers, cleft lips, whether any defect on baby generally. I think this scan is important too.

I took at week 16 when baby is around 10cm height. What's your baby's height haha 😁 so fun to see baby grow

Yup, detailed scan is for bones and organs checking but I didn't take that. But friend told me can see the genitals from normal ultrasound too. We basically see very little thing cause baby moves like flash. Don't know why he gets so excited every time we have doctor appt.

Baby boy would be nice because I haven't seen baby boy grow up. But if God gives me a baby girl, it's fine too...

My usual checking can see the tiny kuku bird. Doctor calls it balls. He said can see one ball. One ball is 80% accuracy. If two balls then 90% accuracy. Anyhow, have to wait for the report...

Me started off with twins apparently. And then the other one didn't make it during early stage. The other one could be a girl or boy, and then the blood test (NIPT) might capture the DNA of the other one, possible?

I'm hoping someone here can shed some lights on NIPT report went wrong

If can see the ball, I think it's accurate already.

I just had another scan recently at Putrajaya and doctor confirmed it's boy. I can't really differentiate but doctor told me there's ball. biggrin.gif
