I just did this.... mine fizzed nearly half way up the cup!!!
A little boy on the way for us then by the looks of it! We are staying team yellow so have a long wait until we find out if its right. I do have a gut feeling its a boy though! Oooh its so tempting to find out at the scan... i must stay strong!

I used baking powder!!!! No wonder it fizzed like crazy!
Just used bicarb soda..... NO FIZZ!!! Oh roll on oct 2nd so we can see.So exciting guessing tho!!

Hope your baby girl stays safe until 34 weeks. Big payers being sent your way

Bicarbonate of soda is what I used, I think it's english for Baking Soda. I've read that it's ok to use x

Oh well I tried it anyway.... No fizzing for me...not even a bubble.

Thank you all for your love and hugs and prayers! I am hoping to find someone else who has been in the same situation as me before. I might do another post. Basically my cervix is thinning/effacing early... I'm enjoying bed rest but I'm sure I'll be sick of it in a few weeks.
As far as gender stuff goes I'll say this...
I had a gut feeling it was a girl. I had morning sickness (had none with my son) and gained weight differently than with my son as well. All gender predictor tests like the chinese calendar, etc. all said that I was having a girl. I'm carrying high and had faster heart tones than with my son. My husband and my toddler both thought it was a girl as well. I pretty much matched every old wives tale. The baking soda test was just for fun but I heard a lot of people it was actually accurate for. Have fun with it!

Hi there,

Congrats on your little girl! You should come join us in Gestational complications. Look for the thread called Incompetent cervix. I went through this with my first last year. At 19 weeks my cervix was almost completely effaced (1.3cm) starting to open (1cm) and I had bulging membranes. An emergency stitch was put in at 20 weeks and I stayed on bed rest for 10 weeks. I gave birth at 30 weeks to a little boy who is now a healthy 1 year old! It was a very scary time for me. I cried every day and was terrified of giving birth too early. I am pregnant again with my second and had a stitch put in at 14 weeks this time to prevent another premature labour. There are lots of us over in GC forum and everyone is very friendly and will give you loads of advice/info. You can also pm me if you have any questions. I'd be glad to help!

Congrats on the girl! Though that baking soda test was definitely wrong for us.

I am definitely going home to try this gender prediction thing ... our ultrasound is on Friday, so I'm pretty excited about this!!! : D

Congrats on baby girl.. thoughts are with you and bump!!

couldn't help myself and tried this out right away.. no fizzing at all.. so that means girl.. we will have to see come April 26th..So long to wait now!! Chinese Gender prediction says boy, OH says boy, Dad says boy, mom was saying boy but has changed to girl.. needless to say I have no idea myself..

Tried the baking soda test, but it came out frothy like.

 

[hersweetleaf]

so debating on doing this and going back and forth on this test...as all the other ones came out girl...the ring on a string, the palms test, and the feet being cold test, also the chinese gender predictor all predicted girl...and this test...

GIRL!!!!! NO FIZZING!!!!

so we will see. i have a non private scan (so family can see) on monday in which i will be 16 weeks 1 day, so maybe we will get a potty shot and get some news to see how accurate this test is.

So, is it supposed to fizz like soda pop? Like a lot of fizz? I thought I heard it kinda fizzing at first, but it stopped immediately and there were some bubbles released that stuck to the side of the bowl I was using and a little bit of flotsam on top floating around... but no "blow me out of the water" fizzing. Just some slight gas release... does this mean girl or the fact that it kinda sorta fizzed at all mean it's a boy?
