How Peekaboo! Works at Fastest Labs of South Hartford

The visit is simple and quick. One of our certified collectors draws a blood sample in our lab, and Peekaboo! analyzes the cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s bloodstream. The test looks for the presence or absence of the Y chromosome: if it’s found, the baby is a boy; if it’s absent, the baby is a girl. No imaging, no lengthy appointments.

We strive to keep wait times under five minutes, and in-lab Peekaboo! results come back with a one-day turnaround time. Our facilities are clean and inviting, and every test is conducted with precision and confidentiality. Because the process requires only a routine blood sample, it’s non-invasive and poses no risk to mother or baby. Professional in-lab collection can help reduce the contamination concerns that can affect at-home, self-collected samples.

The Science Behind Early Gender DNA Testing

During pregnancy, small amounts of the baby’s DNA circulate in the mother’s bloodstream. This is called cell-free fetal DNA, and it’s detectable well before physical features are visible on a scan. Peekaboo! analyzes a blood sample from the mother and looks for the presence of the Y chromosome. If the Y chromosome is found, the baby is a boy. If it’s absent, the baby is a girl.

Ultrasound determines gender differently by examining physical anatomy visually. That process requires the baby to have developed enough for those features to be clearly visible, which is why it typically can’t be done until 18 to 22 weeks. DNA-based testing sidesteps that wait entirely, which is why Peekaboo! can deliver a result up to 13 weeks earlier than the anatomy scan.

Who Can Get the Peekaboo! Test & What to Expect

The Peekaboo! test is suitable for any expecting mother who has confirmed her pregnancy and is at least 7 weeks along. Whether you’re planning the nursery, thinking through names, or simply can’t wait until the anatomy scan, early gender detection testing gives you an answer on your schedule rather than the ultrasound’s.

At Fastest Labs of South Hartford, you’ll check in, have a blood sample collected by one of our certified collectors in just a few minutes, and receive your results the following day. We serve expecting families throughout Manchester, Glastonbury, Hartford, and the surrounding Hartford County area. Call us at (860) 453-5457 to schedule or ask any questions before your appointment.
