Another option is the Intelligender method, which is very similar to a pharmacy test. It functions by detecting the Y chromosome through urine, which distinguishes whether the baby is male. If the urine changes to green, it means it is a boy; if it turns orange, it's a girl. This is not a safe way to find out the baby's sex, as errors may occur if the collected urine sample does not contain the Y chromosome, resulting in an incorrect result.

There are also homemade and popular methods to try to guess the baby's sex, which are nothing more than superstitious games passed down from the time of our grandmothers. The spoon and fork test is the best known. A spoon and a fork are hidden under two cushions and the pregnant woman is asked to sit down. If she chooses the spoon, it's a girl; if she picks the fork, it's a boy.

The pregnant woman's preference for certain foods is also seen as a possible indicator of the baby's sex. If the mother prefers salty foods during pregnancy, it's considered a boy, but if she prefers sweets, it could be a girl. Of course, these are just games and beliefs that will only be confirmed with tests that are truly reliable, like an ultrasound.

Those who don't want to rely only on games and suspicions can opt for the fetal sex determination test, which can be done starting at 8 weeks of pregnancy. The test involves collecting the mother’s blood to analyze and search for the Y chromosome. If it is present, it indicates the baby is a boy; if not, the baby is a girl. Normally, the result comes out within a week and it is completely safe.
