Any wives tale tests have a high chance of actually being right but only because it's a 50/50 chance....you'll get tons of women swearing by them but its really just good odds.  Everyone told me I was having a boy based on all sorts of tests but I'm having a girl.  The best way to know is wait for the ultra sound (aside from birth of course).


The tests are fun to do but don't bank on them

Five people I know took Intelligender, the urine test, all were right. So, naturally I had to take it lol. Was correct for me too.

I seen a video that pool test strip does the same thing as those tests?? It also said that it turns blue if it's not done right so then you would think boy even tho it may just not have worked.

I took that test with my second child.  It said boy, and I did actually have a boy. In any case it has a 50/50 shot at being correct either way and I'm highly convinced it can't actually tell one way or the other. Not to mention it was like $25 and if my mother hadn't purchased it for me I wouldn't have wasted the money myself.  Might as well ask a magic 8 ball lol. It is fun though,  so if you want to do it,  do it!  Just don't get your hopes up one way or the other until the doctor tells you ;)

If u use ur first morning urine and pour it into a few tablespoons of baking soda if it stand still with lil to no fizz it's a girl if it fizzles it's a boy. U can look on youtube it shows u how to do it gl hv fun. Just don't waste $50 on that store test so not worth it.

Those tests are not accurate and will even tell you on the box that they are just for fun.   They are pretty pricey for something that even tells you it doesn't really work... Makes no sense
