How the EarlyReveal Test Work
XX and XY - What's the difference?
Hey there mom-to-be! Did you know that our DNA holds all the information about what we are? From the color of our eyes to how hairy our toes are, everything is coded in our DNA. It's what makes us unique and different from each other. But did you know that the main differentiation between the biological sexes are the XX and XY chromosomes?
If your baby has XX chromosome pairs, they will develop into a biological female baby. The two X chromosomes provide the cells of the body with all the information needed to create a baby girl. On the other hand, a baby with an XY chromosome pair will develop into a biological baby boy. The Y chromosome provides the cells of the body with the information needed to develop a baby boy.
And here's a fun fact: All boys receive one X chromosome copy from their mothers while the Y chromosome is provided by the father. For baby girls, they receive one X chromosome from each parent - one from the father and one of the two from the mother.
Knowing the gender of your baby can be exciting and can help you bond with them even before they're born. And with EarlyReveal, you can find out your baby's gender as early as 7 weeks into your pregnancy! Not only will this help you bond with your baby sooner, but it will also help you prepare for your family planning. So go ahead and enjoy this magical time of your life, and let EarlyReveal help you connect with your baby even more.
Why is this information relevant?
At about 4 to 5 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus starts developing it's own blood cells and these blood cells mix in with those of the mothers.
At about 7 weeks of pregnancy, sufficient amounts of the fetal blood is present in the maternal blood for detection. Knowing that a biological female will not have any Y chromosome present in her blood under normal circumstances or if she's pregnant with a female fetus, we target and probe specifically for the Y chromosome.
If our test concludes that there's a Y chromosome present in the blood, the we're able to confirm the presence of a boy fetus - if not, then it's most likely a girl.
However, the test is extremely sensitive. That's why it's extremely important to not have any males in the room during your blood collection and to properly sanitise your hands prior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EarlyReveal gender detection test safe?
Yes! The EarlyReveal test is a prenatal screening that provide high-quality prenatal information by utilizing a small blood sample obtained with the TAP device or finger prick. Since these tests are non-invasive, they pose no risk to you or the baby.
Will a recent miscarriage impact my EarlyReveal test results?
No, a recent miscarriage won't affect EarlyReveal test results for this pregnancy. Multiple clinical studies have shown taht fetal DNA clears rapidly from your bloodstream after delivery or pregnancy loss - usually within a couple of days.
How do you detect the baby's gender?
Our lab tests are all backed by science! In short, our lab tests target and detect the Y chromosome, which would be present in the mom’s blood if she’s pregnant with a boy.
If the Y chromosome isn’t detected, that means that you’re having a girl. If it is detected, then it’s a boy! The affinity of our targets and the Y chromosome is very high, meaning that the results are very accurate.
Is the EarlyReveal gender test accurate?
Our lab tests are all backed by science! We have all our resources available in the resource section of the website.
For further accuracy, it's important to ensure that there’s no contamination in the sample. You can do that by properly following all the instructions provided in your kit:
⭐️ Wash hands thoroughly before collecting the blood sample.
⭐️ Make sure that there are no men in the room during your collection process. This is to ensure that no Y chromosome finds its way into the sample other than what might be present in mom’s blood.
⭐️ Collect enough blood to reach the line on the collection tube.
Can I do my EarlyReveal gender test at a clinic?
Yes! The EarlyReveal fetal sex test is available in top prenatal clinics and ultrasounds in all major cities of Canada such as Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; Edmonton, Alberta; Ottawa, Ontario and many more!
Please see the clinical option tab to find a clinic near you for the collection of your sample with the help of a health care professional. If you do decide to collect your sample in a clinic, please purchase directly from the provider as they will handle the collection and shipping the sample back to us.
How are you different from other companies?
We target for regions of the Y-chromosome which was designed by our research team and our scientists. We're confident that our regions have a very high affinity to the selected portion of the target chromosome which has proven to be 99% accurate.
We also hold a Health Canada MDEL License, the ONLY gender detection company in Canada to have this certification. All samples are analyzed in Canada in our lab in Laval, Qc and the company is 100% Canadian owned and operated.
Am I eligible to do the EarlyReveal gender Test?
In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, please make sure:
⭐️ You are at least 7 weeks pregnant. Anything less than that might cause a false test.
⭐️ You live in Canada or the USA, as we only ship to these countries at the moment.
Not yet 7 weeks in? Our test is good for 1 year! Buy it today and use it as soon as you are eligible.
Can I send the results to someone else?
Yes of course! We also love surprises!
Tell us where you would like the test results to be sent to instead, and we will email them accordingly. Please ensure that the e-mail is correctly written.
Will you notify me when you receive my sample?
You will receive an email as soon as your sample is selected for analysis. For the reception in the lab, please take a look at the tracking information that was used to send your kit back to us and that will give you the most up to date information.
Any other questions?
You can reach us by phone or email weekdays from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (EST).

Why 7 weeks instead of 6?
The amount of cell-free fetal DNA increases over time during pregnancy, and most pregnant people won’t have enough cell-free fetal DNA in their blood at 5 or 6 weeks gestation to reliably predict their baby’s gender.
A smaller placenta at 5 or 6 weeks releases less fetal DNA into your bloodstream than a larger placenta later in pregnancy. This lower threshold can lead to “inconclusive” or inaccurate results.
