When can you find out gender?

It's sex you're finding out, not gender.

I was waiting for someone to say “if/when your child announces it.”

It may also be covered if you are over a certain age. It's mainly to look for genetic conditions, but will also tell you if they find a Y chromosome which is how you know if it's a boy or a girl.

I was pregnant at 34, but due at 35, with my youngest, and I found out earlier than with my older kids. I wasn’t expecting to find out earlier, so I was kind of surprised, but it turned out to be an insurance thing.

I also had NIPT twice under 35. You dont have to be over 35 to get it. It just depends what insurance you have. It was covered for me both times. My doc had it scheduled for me at 10weeks 3 days.

We needed to know the sex asap since we already had 2 girls and only wanted a boy. We found out at 10 weeks.

You’ll find out the gender when they’re around 11 or 12. You’ll find out the sex while the baby is in-utero

I got my NIPT covered at both 31 and 34 when I was with Kaiser (who is usually cheap!). No issues and a low risk pregnancy. I was told they do it for over 30 moms. I didn't find out the gender though by choice.

So to answer the question- 10 weeks plus another week for results.

More and more insurance plans are covering it for non-AMA or low-risk pregnancies. Mine was covered for a low-risk pregnancy but I had to go to a Labcorp office for the blood draw (all my other draws were done in-office) because my insurance had an agreement with Labcorp.

You can do the Sneak Peak test at home around 8 weeks. I've never done it but a few friends have and their results were all accurate (granted 50-50 odds are a pretty good starting point).
