to shop or not to shop

I'm a new mommy so I'm overly excited about buying things for my little one. I'm only 17 weeks and 5 days so my doctor said its too soon to give me an ultrasound to tell me what I'm having (the want me to be at least 20 weeks). So to say the least me and my boyfriend were disappointed. I took it upon myself to buy a gender test from walgreens and it said I was having a boy!! The test is only 80% accurate but that's good enough for me lol. Should I start shopping for blue clothes? Help!!

Yea I was disappointed when I did it and it said a boy. Then I read reviews and they were all bad ones. I will not do it ever again for a future pregnancy...total waste of money. So when I found out I was having a girl. I was over the moon!!:)  Good luck.

No!! I bought the same test from Walgreens and it said I was having a boy and I'm definitely having a girl. It's actually 50% accurate. If you read the reviews 95% get a boy reading and its usually wrong. You can always pay extra to go to a 3d/4d ultrasound place to find out the gender before 20 weeks...that's what I did.
