Question 2

what is the name of the blood test to determine a baby's gender as early as 5 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Intelligender.: Apparently the intelligender gender prediction test can tell a baby's gender as early as 8 weeks after conception.  There are other kits, and medical tests like chorionic villus sampling that can do it in about the same time but the risks to the fetus may be greater.

Question 3

as early as how many months can the gender of the baby be determined with a sonogram?

Accepted Answer

After 3 months: A prenatal ultrasound scan can predict fairly accurately a baby's gender after 3 months of pregnancy. A prediction is just a prediction, so it is not 100% accurate. Unless parents have a genetic problem that either affects only boys or only girls, not knowing the gender until birth is very exciting! remember that ultrasounds were not even used until 1960's!

Cromosomas: Los cromosomas contienen 22 pares no sexuales (o autosomas, 22 de la madre y 22 del padre), y 2 pares sexuales (el par 23, uno de la madre y uno del padre). La información genética de una mujer es 46 XX, al sólo tener X, hereda una X al hijo. El padre tiene 46 XY, por lo cual la información genética del hombre es la que decide el sexo, al poder heredar cromosoma X o Y (XX=mujer y XY=hombre).

Question 6

how can an nt scan determine gender?

Accepted Answer

Nt scan and sex: NT is the ultrasound appearance of neck tissue in the first 3 months of a pregnancy. In a study of 56,000 pts, for an unknown reason, the neck in females is about 10% thinner. http://s3.amazonaws.com/publicationslist.org/data/kevinspencer1/ref-184/pnd2009_29_578_581.pdf
The measurement is to exclude Down's, not for sexing. Most reliable is to wait until you can see a penis later in the pregnancy.
