I was offered to try this test by my sister-in-law, who works in the corporate office of a large supermarket chain here in Florida. She said that the distributor of this test would like to test this product on public to see how easy it is to do and how accurate it actually is. She referred me as a test subject and I happily agreed, since I didn’t have to pay for it. Currently the test retails for $35 and states 90% accuracy rate. Hey, I’ll try anything once and it sounded like a fun thing to try!
I decided to review this test by discussing each step of the instructions that come with the test kit. So you can decide whether this test is for you!
1. When you wake, please fill the collection cup with your first morning urine when collecting your sample. It is very important to use first morning urine when collecting your sample. Failure to do so will likely result in an incorrect result. Once collected, set the urine sample aside and get the test kit ready for use. Remove the white overcap, exposing the kit’s lid. Remove the white oval tab from the top of the lid, exposing a small hole in the middle. You will need to keep the tab close by as you will replace it over the hole once the urine has been added. You are now ready to perform the test.
Okay, whoever wrote this, more likely has never been pregnant. Excuse me, but like most pregnant women, I happen to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so usually by the time the morning comes around, there is not much urine left over to collect! So here is my question, can I pee in the cup at 3 or 4 in the morning and do the test once I wake up for good? Or if I can’t do so, can I use the urine that starts collecting in the middle of the night (if I have any left)?
I believe on the morning of doing the test, I had to get up in the middle of the night, but ended up using the fresh urine that collected after that. So I hope that this is still okay.

The rest of the step was easy to follow.
2. Placing the tip of the syringe into the urine, “pull” 20 ml’s of urine (as indicated on the side of the syringe) up into the syringe.
No problems there, the syringe is very clearly marked, so you can’t miss it!
3. Place the tip of the syringe into the hole on the top of the test’s lid and inject your urine.
4. Remove the syringe and immediately replace the white oval tab over the hole. Replace the white overcap.
These two steps were easy to follow, hard to do them wrong.
5. Gently pick up the test kit and swirl rapidly in a circular motion for 10 seconds. Do not shake. Place the activated kit on a white paper plate, paper towel or piece of paper where it can be easily read without disturbing. This will help eliminate any background color when reading the results.
This step was easy to execute, I just had to make sure I didn’t overdo the swirling, like it says “Do not shake.”
<<<<<<< Pregnancy Without Pounds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
6. Read your gender result promptly at 10 minutes. If your urine has turned dark or is a smoky green, you are having a boy! If your urine stays relatively unchanged or turns a deeper yellow or orange, then you are having a girl!
Here is where I got into a pickle. After 10 minutes, I got back and the urine appeared to be of darker color, kind of yellowish green, but it didn’t seem to match any of the shades shown on the kit. The color was lighter than the lightest green, but darker than the darkest yellow. But it still appeared to be more on a darker side, closer to the green shade. Perplexed I kept staring at the bottle to see if anything would change or if I would somehow find a logical answer.
Results after 10 minutes
I had to get back to my family, so I left the sample on the counter. After about one hour I happened to be back in the bathroom and that’s when I saw a clear light yellow liquid in the bottle. All of the dark particles seemed to settle on the bottom. At this point the liquid color clearly matched the color shown on the kit.
Result after 1 hour
So am I definite to say that I am having a girl according to the test? Not really, and here is my reasoning. The directions state to read the result in 10 minutes after swirling. Instead of getting a matching color, I got an in-between color at the 10-minute mark. Though the color matched very well after about 1 hour (maybe it happened earlier), I don’t know whether the result is valid due to it being later than the stated time. I decided to check out Intelligender website’s FAQ’s, but wasn’t able to find the answers I needed to clarify my confusion.
Update: After doing an official ultrasound, we ended up with a boy!
<<<<<<<< Pregnancy Without Pounds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I took the test this am at 6:45, after only a minute or so it was a dark smokey green, so that means boy for me. I am 14 weeks 4 days today. So i still have about 5 or 6 weeks before my 20 week ultrasound to confirm. I am kinda hoping for a girl this time, i have a 19 month ond son and i think this will be our last baby, but as long as its healthy ill be happy! Ill try and keep you posted on the u/s results! Should be around Valentines Day =)
if you have sex 24 hours before you test you can get a false boy. Mine told me girl. I am having my 1st little GIRL in 3 months.
THIS CRAP LIES! I took it at 10 weeks it said girl. took it at 14weeks it said girl. got my ultrasound done today it’s a boy. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED about having a girl and now I have to get over the fact it’s not a little princess like I’d hoped for. IT LIES DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME.
Do not let other results steer you in the wrong way….If you ACTUALLY read the directions it says how easy this test is able to be cancled out. just moving it more then normal can. If you over swish it it could cause a failed results also sometimes if you are peeing and being pregnant you might also have more stuff in your urine then you actually know…..when you get pregnant you discharge more and that can actually mess up your results….I just wanted to see how this works and just doing this for fun….you should never really trust a urine sample always a confirm from a doctor….also at 10wks if you actually read your baby’s hormone for a male will not be produced then. This is how its able to pick up in urine. You should actually wait until your further along and make sure your urine is actually free of everything that shouldnt be in there. Just some helpful hints
i personally don’t think this test is accurate and i think it’s ironic if it does actually work. the directions aren’t that hard to follow, so for that many girls to have it not work it has to be the test. everyone i know who has done it which is about 12 girls all say boy and ultrasound says girl. maybe it’s in reverse. i took it at 12 weeks and it said boy, i have a sono soon so we will see!
I have never used Intelligender before, but when I was pregnant with my second child I used a different gender prediction test called GenderMaker. I actually got accurate results and I use it again with my next child. The test was really easy to use and read. Here is the link to their website below if one of you guys wants to try a different gender prediction test. =] Enjoy!

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT AT CVS, 2 WEEKS AGO, SPENT ALMOST $50 ON IT. WENT HOME READ THE DIRECTIONS, AND WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING, LIKE THE DIRECTIONS TOLD US TO DO. WE GOT UP AT 5:30 AM FOR THIS TEST. IT SAID BOY. HAD THE SONOGRAM TODAY, THE BABY IS A GIRL! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS STUPID TEST. IT’S LIKE FLIPPING A COIN. IN FACT YOU CAN JUST DO THAT….HEADS OR TAILS.
Well ladies I guess if it says your having a boy its prolly a girl and if it says its a girl your prolly having a boy….lmao… I want to buy it still just because I think It will be very fun to see the results….
well as for me i am 15wks took the test and it said boy cnt wait for my u/s to see if its correct. I do want a little girl but as long as he or she is healthy and normal im happy
I took intelligender followed the directions step for step and got a BOY result. I am pleased to say that I had my ultrasound today and I am in fact having a GIRL!!!! I am so glad intelligender was wrong for me because I already have two sons. The test was fun nevertheless though. Happy Pregnancies Ladies!
