The Earliest Way to Know
Our Early Gender Blood Test is a non-invasive DNA-based test that detects fetal Y-chromosome DNA in the mother's blood. If Y-chromosome DNA is present, you're expecting a boy. If absent, you're expecting a girl. The test is 99% accurate from just 7 weeks of pregnancy, well before any ultrasound can reliably show gender.
The procedure is simple: a single blood sample taken at our clinic in Gateshead. Your sample is sent to our UKAS-accredited UK laboratory for analysis. Results are delivered to you confidentially within 5-7 working days. You can have the blood test on its own, or pair it with the scan that's right for your stage of pregnancy — when you book, you'll be shown the option that matches how many weeks you are:
- Blood Test Only — £125 (from 7 weeks): the DNA gender result on its own.
- + Early Viability Scan — £190 (6–9 weeks): adds early dating & viability confirmation.
- + Early Reassurance Scan — £175 (10–14 weeks): adds an early reassurance scan.
- + Gender & Wellbeing Scan — £235 (15+ weeks): adds visual gender confirmation & a wellbeing scan.
Blood Test vs Gender Scan: Which Is Right For You?
We offer two ways to find out your baby's sex:
- Early Gender Blood Test (from £125): DNA-based, 99% accurate from 7 weeks. Results in 5-7 working days. The earliest, fastest way to know.
- Gender Baby Scan (£68): visual ultrasound, 99%+ accurate from 15 weeks. Instant result on the day. Includes well-being report and free 4D peek.
The blood test is ideal if you can't wait until 15 weeks, or if your baby's position has prevented gender identification on a previous scan. Many families do both: the blood test first to know early, then a 4D scan later for the bonding experience. See our 16-week milestone guide for the visual gender determination sweet spot.
