When I saw my OB yesterday she was telling me about screening tests and she also mentioned that a blood test could be run around 11 weeks to determine gender, but insurance wouldn't pay for it. Dh just kinda said eh, we can wait. But now I wish I had at least asked how much it costs. Does anyone know? I'm also wondering how accurate it is.

We'll probably just wait until 20 weeks but if it weren't too expensive and very accurate I might do the blood test. I'm kind of doubting it is though because I've never heard of anyone doing this.

Ive heard that It's expensive.... I debated It to. It's just such a tease when you can find out early but It cost to much money.

I think its really expensive...but I never asked exactly how much.

Here something I found on Wikipedia. Said it was $25 for a kit then $250 for processing, probably a different test then what your doc was talking about but heres what it says

Yeah I don't think I could justify $250...that would buy an awful lot of cloth diapers.

I didn't know about the test but I don't think it's worth the cost unless money isn't an issue.
