A paternity test during pregnancy requires planning for the laboratory service, sample collection, shipping, and any documentation needed for the report.
GameDay DNA currently lists standard starting prices of $1,099 for at-home informational non-invasive prenatal paternity testing, $1,299 for informational in-office testing, and $1,499 for legal testing. Applicable taxes, shipping, collection arrangements, and case-specific charges may affect the final total.
Non-invasive prenatal paternity testing, commonly called NIPP, uses maternal blood and an alleged father’s DNA sample to evaluate biological paternity during pregnancy. Testing may begin at approximately seven weeks, subject to laboratory eligibility and confirmation of pregnancy timing.
Before purchasing, obtain a complete quote and confirm how the maternal blood draw will be arranged.
How Much Does a Paternity Test While Pregnant Cost?
GameDay DNA publishes the following standard starting prices:
At-home informational NIPP: $1,099 plus applicable tax and shipping.
Informational in-office NIPP: $1,299 plus applicable tax.
Legal NIPP: $1,499 plus applicable tax.
These are starting prices, not a guarantee of the final amount due.
Your total may include professional collection, additional participants, rush processing, shipping, or other case-specific services. Review the checkout total or invoice before paying.
For additional pricing questions, read GameDay DNA’s prenatal paternity cost guide.
What Should Your Prenatal Paternity Quote Include?
Request written confirmation of the services and charges included in your order.
Your quote should identify:
The selected NIPP service.
The participants included.
Laboratory analysis and reporting.
Maternal blood-collection arrangements.
Any collection-site or mobile-collection charge.
Shipping and return materials.
Applicable tax.
Additional alleged-father fees.
Optional expedited processing.
The deposit and remaining balance.
Redraw, cancellation, and rescheduling terms.
GameDay DNA’s payment-options page explains that these items can affect the total and should be reviewed before payment.
Do not assume that a kit price includes a separately arranged healthcare appointment.
Budget for the Maternal Blood Draw
GameDay DNA’s current at-home NIPP product states that the pregnant mother must have her blood collected by a qualified healthcare professional.
The customer arranges and pays for that blood draw separately. Potential collection providers include an OB-GYN office, primary-care practice, clinic, hospital, or mobile phlebotomist—but availability must be confirmed directly.
Before ordering, ask the proposed provider whether it can collect a third-party kit, follow the supplied instructions, and handle any required preparation for shipment.
The alleged father may collect the supplied cheek-swab sample at home according to the kit instructions.

How NIPP Deposits Work
GameDay DNA currently lists these deposits:
At-home NIPP: $200.
Informational in-office NIPP: $200.
Legal NIPP: $400.
The deposit is applied toward the selected test’s total cost. It is not the complete purchase price.
Before paying, confirm the remaining balance, when it becomes due, what is required before report release, and which services have already been reserved or provided.
Also review what happens if eligibility changes, an appointment is canceled, or another collection is needed.
Payment Methods and Pay-Over-Time Options
GameDay DNA accepts the payment methods displayed for the specific checkout or invoice. Options may include credit or debit cards, PayPal invoices, Square invoices, and eligible third-party payment services.
Klarna or Afterpay may appear for some transactions. Their availability, approval decisions, repayment schedules, and fees are controlled by the payment provider. GameDay DNA cannot guarantee approval or override a declined application.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s explanation of buy-now-pay-later loans recommends reviewing the lender’s documents to understand the repayment obligations and costs.
Its guidance on buy-now-pay-later fees explains that late fees and bank overdraft or insufficient-funds charges may apply.
Read the terms shown for your actual transaction before accepting a payment arrangement.
Check Current Discounts Before Paying
GameDay DNA may display eligible discounts or promotional prices.
The embedded at-home NIPP product currently shows a $999 sale price and a $1,099 original price. Confirm whether that offer applies to your selected payment method and order, and whether tax, shipping, and professional blood collection remain additional.
Ask for the final total before relying on a promotional headline.
Do not assume a full-payment discount also applies to a deposit order or a third-party installment transaction.
Confirm Eligibility Before Spending Money
Eligibility review can help prevent an unsuitable purchase or an appointment that cannot proceed.
Tell the coordinator about pregnancy timing and any relevant circumstances, including:
Twins, triplets, or another multiple pregnancy.
Closely related possible fathers.
More than one alleged father.
IVF or donor conception.
Surrogacy.
Transfusion or transplant history.
GameDay DNA’s current NIPP option is not available for multiple pregnancies.
DDC’s prenatal paternity guidance also states that its prenatal service cannot distinguish two possible fathers who share a close biological relationship, such as brothers.
Obtain case-specific approval before paying for testing or separate collection services.
Choose the Required Collection Process Before Ordering
If the report is intended for a court, agency, attorney, or another official recipient, obtain its requirements first.
GameDay DNA’s legal NIPP service includes professional collection, identity verification, and documented chain of custody. The receiving organization determines whether it accepts a particular report.
AABB’s relationship-testing FAQ explains the role of validated traceability and chain-of-custody procedures.
Do not purchase an informational kit with the expectation that its existing collection will automatically satisfy a later official-use requirement.
Read the legal paternity test process for documentation questions to address before collection.
Verify the Performing Laboratory
Ask which laboratory will analyze the samples and which credentials apply to the selected prenatal service.
Use the AABB-accredited relationship-testing facility directory to verify the named facility’s current listing. The directory identifies some facilities accredited for collection and verification/reporting that do not perform the testing themselves.
Confirm the laboratory and applicable accreditation scope before purchasing.
Ask About Redraws and Additional Charges
A laboratory may request another blood sample because of sample quality, insufficient usable pregnancy-related DNA, or additional review.
Before ordering, ask:
Who pays for another blood collection?
Are replacement materials or shipping included?
Is there an additional laboratory charge?
How does recollection affect the estimated timeline?
What happens if the laboratory cannot issue a result?
Obtain the current policy for your specific service. Do not assume every recollection is free or that every unreportable case qualifies for a refund.
Understand the Result Timeline
GameDay DNA currently estimates standard results at approximately five business days after the laboratory receives all required acceptable samples. The at-home product advertises express processing in as little as three business days for an additional fee.
The complete timeline also includes kit delivery, appointment availability, collection, shipping, and any requested recollection.
Ask whether an expedited fee covers laboratory processing, shipping, or both.
Read GameDay DNA’s DNA result-timeline guide for additional planning questions.
Review Safety and Healthcare Questions
NIPP requires maternal blood and an alleged father’s DNA sample.
Blood collection can involve discomfort, bruising, or swelling, as described in the NHS blood-test guide. Discuss relevant medical concerns with your healthcare professional.
A paternity report does not diagnose chromosome conditions or establish the overall health of a pregnancy.
MedlinePlus’s prenatal cell-free DNA screening guide explains the medical screening used to assess the likelihood of certain chromosome conditions. Continue recommended prenatal care and discuss clinical testing with your clinician.
Protect Your Genetic Information
Review consent, privacy, and report-delivery policies before submitting samples.
Ask who may access the report, how long specimens and data are retained, and whether information is used for additional purposes.
The FTC’s guidance on genetic-test purchases recommends checking privacy policies, sharing practices, deletion options, and security protections.
Pricing should be clearly understood alongside these participation and privacy requirements.

Does the at-home kit include the mother’s blood-draw fee?
The current at-home product states that the customer arranges and pays for the professional maternal blood draw separately. Confirm the provider’s charge before ordering.
Is the $999 offer always available?
Do not assume so. The current embedded product displays that sale price, but eligibility, checkout terms, and additional charges must be verified for your order.
Can I use Klarna or Afterpay?
These options may be available when displayed at checkout or on an eligible invoice. The payment provider determines approval and terms.
Are payment plans guaranteed to be interest-free?
No general promise should be made. Review the actual offer, repayment schedule, interest, fees, and late-payment terms supplied by the provider.

You can ask, but the office must agree to collect the supplied kit and follow its instructions. Confirm availability and fees in advance.
Are results available five days after I order?
Not necessarily. Standard processing begins after the laboratory receives all required acceptable samples. Kit delivery, collection, shipping, and further review affect the overall timeline.
Does a legal NIPP purchase guarantee court acceptance?
No. The receiving court or organization determines whether it accepts the report. Obtain its requirements before collection.

No. GameDay DNA does not provide or coordinate immigration DNA testing. Those inquiries are referred directly to DDC.

Get Prenatal Paternity Answers During Pregnancy
GameDay DNA’s non-invasive prenatal paternity test, also called a NIPP test, provides confidential paternity answers during pregnancy without amniocentesis or chorionic-villus sampling.

The alleged father can collect his cheek swab at home. The pregnant mother must have her blood collected by a qualified healthcare professional.
Important:This is not a completely at-home test. GameDay DNA ships the collection kit directly to you, but the expectant mother’s blood draw must be arranged and paid for separately by the customer through an OB/GYN, primary-care provider, clinic, hospital, mobile phlebotomist, or other qualified healthcare provider.
This product is intended for personal knowledge only. It is not for court, child support, custody, immigration, birth-certificate changes, Social Security, or any other legal or government purpose.

How Prenatal Paternity Testing Works
1. Order Your Prenatal Paternity Test Kit
Order online and receive the DNA collection kit at your home. The kit includes the materials and instructions needed to collect and return the alleged father’s cheek-swab sample and prepare the mother’s blood sample for shipment.
2. Arrange the Mother’s Blood Draw
The expectant mother must arrange a blood draw with a qualified healthcare provider, such as an OB/GYN, primary-care office, local clinic, hospital, or mobile phlebotomist. The customer is responsible for any collection fee charged by that provider.
Please confirm that your provider can perform the blood draw before ordering whenever possible. The provider must follow the collection instructions supplied in the kit.
3. Collect the Alleged Father’s Cheek Swab at Home
The alleged father uses the included cheek-swab materials to collect a DNA sample at home. This process is non-invasive and does not require a blood draw.
For best results, follow the included instructions carefully. You can also review the buccal swab collection instructions.
4. Return All Required Samples
Return the pregnant mother’s professionally collected blood sample and the alleged father’s cheek swab following the kit instructions. The laboratory begins processing after it receives all required samples and confirms they are suitable for testing.
5. Receive Confidential Results
The laboratory analyzes fetal cell-free DNA from the mother’s blood and compares it with DNA from the alleged father’s cheek-swab sample. Once analysis is complete, GameDay DNA provides your confidential report.
Who Needs to Participate?
Expectant mother: Two full vials of blood collected by a qualified healthcare professional.
Alleged father: A cheek-swab DNA sample that may be collected at home.
Turnaround Time
Standard service: Results are typically available within 5 business days after the laboratory receives all required, acceptable samples.
Express service: Results may be available in as little as 3 business days for an additional fee.
Shipping time, the timing of the blood-draw appointment, sample quality review, laboratory workload, and any requested recollection can affect the total time from order to results.
Eligibility and Important Limitations
This product is intended for personal knowledge and is not legally admissible. If you need DNA results for court, custody, child support, immigration, a birth certificate, Social Security, or another official purpose, contact GameDay DNA before ordering to discuss a legal prenatal paternity test.
This test may not be suitable for:
Cases involving related alleged fathers
Pregnancies with multiple fetuses
IVF pregnancies
Individuals with a history of bone-marrow or stem-cell transplant
Individuals with a history of blood transfusions
Any situation requiring a legal, court-admissible DNA result
If any of these apply to your situation, contact GameDay DNA before ordering. Additional eligibility review or a different testing option may be necessary.
Accuracy and Laboratory Method
This non-invasive prenatal paternity test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze more than 2,688 genetic markers. The laboratory reports 99.9% accuracy when all participant eligibility requirements, collection instructions, sample-quality standards, and laboratory procedures are met.
The test is non-invasive because it uses a standard blood draw from the pregnant mother and a cheek-swab sample from the alleged father. It does not require amniocentesis or chorionic-villus sampling.
