Intelligender product???????
Hello Mommy's to be!
So has anyone heard about Intelligender? It is a product that has a high success rate that can tell you if you are having a boy or girl. So I had every classic wives tales symptoms that I was having a girl. I bought the Intelligender test and less than 1 minute it turned green, indicating it is a boy. I have my U/S appt on Friday 5/8 to find out. Sadly, I am so upset and disappointed that it came back a boy. I really had high hopes for a girl and feel that I will never have a girl. I have always been around girl babies and feel lost about having a boy. Honestly, I care more about the health of the child, but I am devasted that this test indicated a boy. I did a lot research onthis product and the success rate is 92%. My preganacy test didnt lie and the makers of Intelligender work aside with the makers of pregnancy tests. Has anyone experienced any false results? I saw only ONE comment from many people that have tried this product and they all have said it was correct. Only 1 out of 100's said it was wrong for her, but all others indicated it was dead on. Anyone have any feedback that can help me cope with my disappointment?? I know I should be grateful and I am, but have been crying everyday since over this test. I also read on a website that is very reputable that this product was created very carefully and that it is a near guarantee. I am so upset that my dream for a girl is crushed. Will I still love this baby and bond with him? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Re: Intelligender product???????
you cannot go by wives tales to determine the sex of your baby, thats why they are called wives tales! I used the predecessor to the intelligender test and it was accurate too - I took it with a pinch of salt though because these tests ARE for entertainemnt purposes, they can 'claim' high success rate but it doesn't mean they are.
Anyway please be happy with what baby you are having, as a mother of four children and enough pregnancy scares I have some to appreciate my children for what they are and not what I want them to be. I dont mean to be harsh, and with my last child i DID really want a girl, and my baby turned out to be a girl but if she had have been a boy my love would not have been less.
You need to ditch the guilt and enjoy what you have - next time around you may get that girl you are after. Yiou are blessed with the ability to create a child, and blessed with being pregnant.

Re: Intelligender product???????
Thank you for your honesty! Yes, your right I am blessed and should be very grateful, in which, I am so much. I guess I just had high dreams for a girl and having a boy, I feel I just dont know what to do with him. I have only been around baby girls and have connected with so much that, that the thought of a baby boy I am afraid I will not be able to connect like I do with girls. I know I still have another chance to get a girl and just hope that god will hear my wishes. I know the test isnt 100% guarantee, nothing is 100% guaranteed, but I personally wrote Intelligender and they even confirmed thier success rate for boys are 93% accurate and the success rate for girls are 75%. I guess I just was anticipating and asking for too much. I will be forever grateful and will love this baby boy regardless and treat him no different. By the way, Summer was going to be the name I wanted to name my baby girl. Summer Rae!. I love it. Its a beautiful name.
Thank you for replying.

Re: Intelligender product???????
You will be fine with your boy. I have two boys, and I was always scared at the prospect of having a boy first - and it happened ... but you know my boys are really sweet (the 12yo less so now ha ha), you will be amazed at them I promise. Its easy to feel guilty for wishing you are having a baby of the opposite sex ... and the dream you had for a girl has been lost (for now) too, but you will be fine. The emotions you are feeling now are similar to grief, you will have to work through them.
And the name - thanks for that she is actually called Summer Jorja-Lousie, she was going to be Jorja Summer at one stage but we changed our minds. We just wanted a pretty, cheerful name after what we went through to have her. They gave us a 1 in 4 change of her having spina bifida and even her u/s scans were inconclusive - we had an amnio which didnt go to plan totally but eventually got the all clear. Summer hersef has been through a lot - she has postional talipes due to her being breech with her feet tucked under her and facing the 'wrong' way for most of my pregnancy, she also has 1:60 vision. She arrived safely despite being 5 weeks early and we really feel blessed to have her. okay I wrote a book ha ha.

Re: Intelligender product???????
WOW,you have had it rough. Summer sounds like an angel baby and thank god you have her and the name fits her perfectly. From what I have read, your 100%ight, it is like grieving and in time things will get better. They already have. I feel much better telling someone (couldnt tell my husband) the way I felt and I already feel better. I went out today and bought a few outfits to help cheer me up. I keep telling myself I wanted a new adventure and Im getting just that. Little boys will open my eyes to new things and new adventures. I already know what I can do with little girls and boys are into different things. I honestly cant believe that I feel this way, but like you said I will be fine once that baby arrives. He will depend on me for every little thing and its important that I embrace him. A lot of people would do anything to be in my shoes and to have a healthy strong pregnancy like I have. I got tomorrow for my 5 month u/s and all I care is that I walk out of that appointment knowing my baby boy is healthy.
Now thatI have refelcted a lot, I do have a connecting with him. I was the one who wrote the blog abot the 15wk and still spotting issue. I spent 18 weeks spotting, red blood, and thought miscarriage every sinle time. I ended up in the hosp 3 times and I was so scared I was going to lose the baby. If something were to happen right now, Iwould be devastated. So I already do have a connection. I just have to think that I have another chance and that "what is meant to be is meant to be". People are put into our lives for a reason.
Thanks for listening and not judging and being honest.

Re: Intelligender product???????
I am a mother of two beautiful daughters and pregnant with my third baby as we speak. So far I have done TWO Intelligender tests because I didn't believe the first one when it said boy, then the second one said boy too!!! I desperately want to give my husband his "little man" so PLEASE GOD LET THIS TEST BE TRUE!!!! I find out in about 4 weeks so I will for sure let you know. By then you will probably know too  No matter what you have you sound as though you will be a wonderful mother, what a lucky baby you have! By the way I am positive that God will give you your girl, maybe not right away, but you will have her

Re: Intelligender product???????
Okay, so this is to Amanda- mommy of 4. GUESS WHAT?????? You'll never believe what I just found out on Friday. I am having a girl. I told my tech that I was convinced about this Intelligender product and she looked at me like I was nuts. She said she never heard of the product and told me to never believe those things. Thats why they are "prediction" tests, for fun games. Sure enough, I was convinced that I was having a boy and the tech got a shot of the baby real quick before she closed her legs and she said look. I was like "oh its a boy", I new it. She was like look again, you see this. I was like I dont see anything, just a blob. She was like, exactly, there is no penis, its a girl. She showed my little lines of some sort that I didnt really understand, but I guess we will confirm again at the level 2 u/sI started crying. I also found out at the sme time I have a short cervix and something else called cystic lakes around the placenta. So before I new my baby was a girl, I had ben crying and they told me they are more worried about my short cervix and looking at the cystic things as curiousity. Then finding out it was a girl was a complete shock. Either way, I am terrified that my baby is in danger. I have an appointment Wendesday with a perinatalogist (specialsit in high risk) for a level 2 ultrasound to see what my options are. My baby had a great exam, she is super healthy and everything looked great. Any feedback on this? I didnt get much info on the cystic thing, but they ay I understood it was a bunch of blood clusters around the placenta. He said they want to check itout for criousity but that the short cervix is more a concern. He said something around 1.5 was the measurement. I was so distraught I couldnt focus. Im glad that went and had my appointment, just wished I aske more questions. I didnt know what ot ask until I have done some research today. Any feedback??
So it looks like the intelligender product is not as accurate as they SAY. They told me 80-85% accUracy for a boy and I am having A GIRL.

Re: Intelligender product???????
I really don't know what that is, but hope everything will be allright. I am 25 weeks pregnant with my second child (it's a boy- or that's what they said at my level 2 u/s, they also said they saw an echogenic focus (white spot on the baby's heart). My first pregnancy was a terrible experience, my daughter was born at 26 weeks, weighing 2 lbs. 4 oz. She is a miracle, her name is Emily, I practically lived at the hospital for over 3 months. Thank God nothing is wrong with her. So I'm just hoping this one will be a full-term baby.
