So.. I go for my gender scan next week and I swear it's going to be the longest week. So, someone mentioned to me about the baking soda gender test - so I looked it up and tried it last night. You put some baking soda in a cup and then pee in it and if it fizzes it's a boy - and if it doesn't it's a girl. A friends who is having a boy did it and her's fizzed. I took it and nothing - so maybe I'm having a girl .

Anyone else try this and get accurate results when they finally had their gender scan?.. but I won't be rushing out to buy anything PINK just yet :)

What can I do next?

I always used the rule of thumb on whether not you can tell you're pregnant from behind. If you are all stomach it's a boy, it's a girl you're all hips!
When my girlfriends and I were in highschool we did a baby predictor with a pencil stub hung by a needle and thread stuck in the eraser. It would predict how many children you would have and what sex. It was pretty close on most of us!

Well, if your husband pees into a cup with baking soda...his might fizz, or it might not!! He's certainly not having a baby. It has to do with the chemicals in your urine, not with what gender you're having. Your friend had a 50/50 chance to begin with. It's like a coin flip, she was lucky.

Just from my minimal understanding of science I see nothing that would indicate that would work.

Might be a fun party game, ya know, pee in the cup!!

Okay, I just googled acid and baking soda, that is how you make the volcanoes. So the next logical step would be whether or not you fizz has more to do with how much water you have been drinking than the gender of the child.

Lol! But I have to pee...so I'll go see what my results are.
I already know she's a she. :)

Sorry, had to find a cup first!
Eh...well, I got a little fizz. Looked like beer froth. I could hear it fizzing. :P

How are your symptoms? I felt I was carrying a boy (after my 1st DD) cause my symptoms were so different. And likewise felt I was carrying another girl because symptoms were very similar to my DD...

Wishing you a speedy week!!! GL!!!

well I didn't try it, but I'll tell you one that I did try, and it came out correct!! Take some Drain-O crystals, like just a little cup of it. You need to put some pee in it. So I'd suggest going in another cup, and pouring it in. I don't even know the amounts!! Sorry, but when you mix it together, if it's blue, its a girl, and if it's brown, its a boy. Look on babygenderprediction.com and it will tell you how to do it. It worked for me!!

Well I haven't heard of that test but with baby #3 I bought the gender prediction test that you can get at walgreens. You pee in this cup and it turns a certain color (if I remember right I think it's a blue green for a boy and a yellow orange color for a girl ) anyways mine turned blue, green which would indicate boy but I had another girl! So yeah it wasn't right for me.
