Boy or girl, from as early as 6 weeks - with every check behind the answer shown to you. We confirm your sample holds enough of your baby’s DNA, read seven markers that all have to agree, and a US-licensed physician signs the result before you see a word.
A gender test is easy to launch and hard to launch well. We’re finishing the validation that lets a physician put their name on your result — then we open. $169 when we do.
Tell me when it launchesOur care team will let you know the day it goes live.
Some labs email you a line of text. We built a reveal worth the wait - when your physician-signed result lands in the 1NW app, you press play on the biggest news of your life, wherever and with whoever you love. You’ll watch it once. Then about forty more times.
By around 6 weeks of pregnancy, small fragments of your baby’s DNA are circulating in your bloodstream. Our test uses targeted PCR - the same technology behind the NIPT your OB would order - to look for Y-chromosome markers in that sample.
Here’s the part nobody else will tell you: finding those fragments depends on whether there are enough of them in the tube to begin with. So before we read anything, we check that your sample actually contains enough of your baby’s DNA. If it doesn’t, you don’t get a guess - you get a free retest.
Before anything is read, we confirm your sample holds enough of your baby's DNA to call. If it doesn't, no result is generated - a retest ships free.
Seven separate Y-chromosome markers, each read independently. All seven have to agree.
If the checks don't agree, the result is withheld, not guessed. You're told exactly what happened and what happens next.
A US-licensed physician reviews the run and signs your result. You'll see who signed it, right on the answer.
Why there’s no percentage on this page: any number we could print today would come from a sample too small to mean anything, and we think you can tell the difference between evidence and marketing. So instead of a percentage you get the checks themselves - the gate, the seven markers, the signature - shown beside your own result, where they can’t be fudged. When our volume is large enough to publish real validation data, we’ll publish the data itself, not just the headline. - The clinical team, 1NW Health

Everyone in this category claims a number. Almost nobody shows you how they got there. We tell you whether we found enough of your baby’s DNA and how many markers we checked - then the 1NW app tracks the pregnancy from that first answer, through the insurance-covered pump around week 25 and the feeding help after.
Competitor data based on publicly available information as of September 2026.
Every result is reviewed and signed by a US-licensed physician before it reaches you - a person whose name is on your answer, not a computer's best guess. Behind them: the scientists at our CLIA-certified partner lab who run the fetal-DNA check, and the clinicians who set the rule that no result ships until every check agrees.

One honest boundary: this test answers boy or girl. It doesn't screen for chromosomal conditions - the NIPT your OB may order at 10 weeks or later does that, and ours never replaces it.
