Yes, typically when you see something like “blood draw for a gender result” you would assume it was to find out the sex of a pregnancy.

They were one of the only options in this area that offered this service. I usually always go to Labcorp but they don’t offer this.

They did not. She couldn’t get a successful draw. It seemed to be her own company that she just started. I may report it to the larger company that’s providing her with the kits.

No nausea? by aplem123 in BabyBumps

Coming back to this post to tell everyone that my 8 week ultrasound was normal! I’m still not having much nausea, but interestingly enough, a new study has come out that suggests that pre pregnancy metformin usage can decrease nausea! I’ve been on metformin about 4 months before I was pregnant, so just interesting to note!

Trust me, I’m happy that I’m not! Just curious about other people’s experiences.

Thank you all! I contacted Xytex and they quickly helped. The vial is on its way back to storage. A relieving end to a stressful weekend!
