Has anyone tried an at home gender predicting test?

I was wandering if anyone has tried them because I was thinking about buying one from walgreens but I dont want to spend $30 if they have bad ratings or reviews and don't really work.

I've tried a couple old wives tales but I get different results every time! They probably are a scam i mean they have a 50% chance of being wrong not bad but they are kind of fun to do,

I wouldn't waste my money on that junk.  Like Joy said, it's just a scam for some idiot to get rich.  I've had fun with some of the mives tales though.  Like if you lick a penny and try to stick it to the wall...if it falls it's a girl, if it sticks it's a boy.  Mine stuck, I'll find out in 2 weeks what I'm having.  There's also the wedding ring on a string trick.  Of course the chinese gender predictor and there are a slew of "gender quizzes" on the internet.  Those are fun to do and don't cost anything, but I wouldn't put much stock in them.

best test is the ultrasound, because you have a better chance at boy/girl parts showing

I never took one but my sister did. The test said she was having a girl, but it was definitely a boy! They can be fun to take, but don't go out and buy a bunch of pink or blue things. Just like flipping a coin, they have a 50/50 chance of being right. =)

i wouldn't do it as i bought one and it said girl i had 4 friends over who said the same thing thing also did the Chinese gender and babyfortune .com and they also said girl then we found out at ultrasound its a boy and i had a lot of ultrasounds towards the end of the pregnancy and they all said boy as well still hopefully packed a yellow outfit just in case and he was a boy  so there all fun and and stuff but i wouldn't depend on them
