SneakPeek® DNA Test Gender Prediction - Know Baby’s Gender at 6 Weeks with Over 99% Accuracy¹ - Lab Fees Included - Early Girl or Boy Reveal Home Kit (Lancet)

So the test predicted correctly. Since that's the main concern of the product, I'll review the actual method of the test kit. What I liked: they gave you instructions. Everything you needed was included. And a few extra needles and swabs just in case (I ended up needing multiple needles). It informed you to thoroughly sanitize the area and everything you touch, because male DNA, even on something as simple as the faucet handle, could mess it up. It was easy to do for the most part. Instructions were easy to read. What I didn't like: the final steps said to prick your finger with the needle. Seems easy enough. But I had SO much trouble getting the right angle. The instructions said to puncture along the grooves of your main 3 fingers. First I did the ring. Barely any blood came out. It maybe filled... 1/4 the vial before drying up. The 2nd one I did was my index. Same thing. I started to panic at this point because you have a limited amount of time to fill the vial, and I had only filled it 1/2 way up. I used the last needle on my middle finger, slightly in the middle. That did it... too much. Blood shot out everywhere and filled the vial, and got on the floor, on my clothes, on my fabric chairs... it looked like a crime scene. So after filling the vial, which was starting to dry out because it had been so long, I ran to get a paper towel and had to clean up blood EVERYWHERE. so what I didn't like about the product is how hard it is to find the right spot to get enough blood, and how the instructions aren't very clear on WHERE to poke yourself. They include a picture that says slightly off to the side, but it's a very not-detailed picture. Other than that, it did what it was supposed to for me.

A friend recommended SneakPeek to me, as her results were correct. I debated purchasing it as the reviews are minimal and the price is a little steep (only if the results are inaccurate). Because of the positive reviews I read, I went for it. Keep in my mind all my ordering and sending back is during peek holiday season. I ordered the test 11/22 and received the test 11/25. I took the test at exactly 9 weeks + 1 day. I did not open the package until my husband wasn't home and I could perform the test by myself. I even put my boy dog in the back bedroom because I wasn't sure if his DNA would affect the test. They should note if pet DNA could affect the test! I changed into clean clothes, put out clean dish towels, and put anything that has a lot of my husbands DNA on it (sweater, hat, etc.) away. I didn't want to take any chances. I disinfected the kitchen counter and laid all of the test instruments directly on the counter, all while washing my hands multiple times. The instructions are clear, I didn't have any trouble understanding how to perform the test. What I did have trouble with, was collecting my blood sample. It took me all three pricks and three different fingers to get my blood to the minimum line. A huge recommendation - follow the things they recommend about increasing blood flow (drinking water, putting your hands under hot water, opening and closing your fists, pointing your finger downward, massaging your finger, etc.) I didn't at first and for the life of me could not get one drop into the collecting tube. Eventually I did, and I packaged everything up and threw away the stuff that was used and not needed anymore. I put my package in the mail on 12/2 (same day I collected my sample) and received the result (a girl) on 12/6. We are excited, but skeptical of it's accuracy. Almost makes me wonder whether this was more stress questioning if we should get excited or not! I will edit the review later on in the pregnancy when the gender is confirmed via ultrasound. For now 5 stars, because no issues so far. Edit: 5 stars because SneakPeek was right, we are having a girl confirmed 100 percent via 4d ultrasound. While I will list 5 stars because it worked for us, I would not use SneakPeek for a second pregnancy because all I did in the weeks after getting my result from them, and before my ultrasound, was worry it was wrong. It may be better for others, but I didn't believe it 100 percent.

Current update nearly two weeks after sending my sample in. 9/10/23: Finally got to talk to customer service tuesday 9/5/23 and they would only send me a new test and not refund since it was through Amazon. Why would I want to go through this experience again!! -But they mailed me one, & Still took 4 days to get the new test and it was put in the local parcel box not delivered to my door. After they said it would be mailed priority same day. But the day after(9/7/23) I got a notification from my original sample saying it was finally being shipped, 10 days after I gave it to usps. My original sample arrived Friday 9/8/23 at their center in San Diego. Their policy states that once the sample is received you’ll get an email showing it’s being processed the same day. I never got an email! No surprise there, I contacted all points of contact with them again. But once again no response from anyone and the company online chat was still closed all day!!! Now their website policy for results states you get your results by 2pm the following day, which the still process samples on Saturdays according to their website. And guess what, no surprise!! No results!! No email! Nothing! Every promise and policy listed on Amazon and their website is lies, ontop of the shipping issues that delayed my sample nearly two weeks. And horrible! Horrible! Zero customer zero responses! *so at this point I’m gonna contact them again and ask for a manger or supervisor, if I ever get ahold of someone as their online chat never is on, and you can only schedule a customer service rep to call you. Hoping I eventually get my money back!! Amazon still won’t do anything about it. Updated my review because it’s day five since my results were mailed in and I have no results back. I’ve contacted there support team for two days and not one response. There chat box never is online and never lets u actually talk to someone. I even contacted the instagram because they responded quickly when I first ordered and now they don’t respond. I even emailed the email I got from someone who works there and no response. This is all very frustrating and upsetting. I wouldn’t of ordered it if I knew it wouldn’t be done on time like they said. And ontop of it the tracking on the shipping label to send your blood test to them doesn’t show any updates for me. So I don’t know where my test is or when I’ll ever (if I do) get my results. I don’t recommend buying from them. Original review 8/22/23: I ordered this and it came in the mail within 4 hours after ordering it. Everything came sealed and organized, instructions were very clear. As a phlebotomist myself I’m very happy with the instructions for proper sanitation and info they give to not cross contaminate. Especially when I have my husband and son and two male dogs in the house. I made sure to sanitize my area 3 times, and personally too the extra step and laid out a Sanipad to ensure a clean area. After I washed my hands and laid everything out on my sanipad. I then washed my hands three times with antibacterial soap and the scrub brush that’s included. Then I used the alcohol wipe included and some I had at home to sanitize the tips of my fingers before touching the Lancet. I was a little excessive with my cleanliness but I want to ensure 100% that I did the most I could to get correct results with all the males in my home. Although u don’t have to do what I did. Following their instructions given is plenty to give a accurate result in my opinion. I’m very happy that everything is include in one box including shipping label. It only took me 2 minutes to collect the sample (I’m used to doing finger pricks) and the sample was full. I sealed everything up and packaged it up and shipped it off. Excited for the results in a few days!!! I highly recommend as this is ten times easier than going to a lab or ultrasound and much faster.
