Discovering your baby’s gender is a moment filled with excitement and anticipation, and thanks to modern science, you no longer have to wait until the routine mid-pregnancy scan. At Murray’s Pharmacy in London, we provide a highly accurate early gender test designed to give you clear, reliable results from as early as eight weeks of pregnancy. This non-invasive blood test is one of the most advanced and trusted options for expectant parents who want answers sooner.

What Is an Early Gender Test?

An early gender test is a laboratory analysis that detects cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s bloodstream. This DNA contains genetic information that can be used to identify the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. If Y chromosome material is detected, the baby is male. If not, the result indicates a female baby. With accuracy rates above 99 percent, this method provides far greater certainty than early ultrasound scans, which are often limited by fetal position or gestational age.

This simple and effective test gives parents an opportunity to connect with their baby early and begin planning for the future with confidence.

How the Process Works

The process at Murray’s Pharmacy has been designed with comfort and convenience in mind. When you arrive for your appointment, a trained member of our team will guide you through each step. After a brief consultation and confirmation of your gestational age, a small blood sample will be collected from your arm. This sample contains the fetal DNA required for analysis.

Once collected, the sample is sent directly to a specialist laboratory that uses advanced genetic technology to evaluate the DNA. Results are typically returned within a few working days, and you will receive them securely and confidentially. The entire appointment normally takes less than fifteen minutes. If you would like to arrange your test, feel free to call us today and speak to our friendly staff for further guidance.
