Baking Soda Test

Has anyone tried the baking soda gender test? I tried it when I was about 14 weeks pregnant with my daughter, and it didn't fizz at all. I am now 6 weeks pregnant again and tried already a couple times and it fizzes a little bit. Has anyone else tried it this early and it was accurat?

I think they just wanted to do it for fun. And if they want to take the results to heart before an ultrasound and go out and buy all blue or all pink then let em lol

It's not being a party pooper for being realistic.  She said she wanted a biy, I said it is still a possibility.    There is nothing wrong with that :)

Well it doesn't matter if it fizzes or not, it doesn't mean you're not having a boy just cause it doesn't fizz.  The fizziness is just a chemical reaction, not a gender revelation x

I usually just ask my Grama what I'm having lol back when my cousin was like 15 she read her cards and all that stuff and told my cousin she would have 2 boys by a man she went to high school w and he was from Arizona and she would move out there with him one day. In her 20s when she got preg w her first drs and ultrasound kept saying girl so they went all out and got girl stuff whole time grama kept telling her a boy. sure enough when baby came it was a boy and all the other stuff came true. My Grama predicted my first two right. I know it's not accurate but it's still fun to have her guess and see if she is right lol :)

Lol I had no idea what I was having, some days I thought girl, others I thought boy, but it didn;t matter to me what I was having as long as he / she was healthy.    When born, the Consultant lifted him up over the curtain to show me (EMLUSCS) and opened his legs and said its a boy lol x

These tests have a 50%
chance of being right cause you only have a boy or girl. No amount of peeing into baking soda or bleach is gonna tell you what you are having. All you are doing is causing a chemical reaction caused by the pH Level of your urine. Its never an actual vest to determine the sex of your baby.
