2 white lines ?

[Loula145]

Getting a bit carried away with gender predictions now but oh well lol im just so curious i noticed on my 12 week scan there is 2 white lines does this indicate boy or girl or neither?

I have no idea but from the one that looks like it's in front of the other I'd say boy!

 

[pooch]

I read that you cant really tell yet at 12 wks as those parts are just starting to develop. But based on the skull i think it looks like a boy!

I think it's a girl. I've been googling 12 week scans of girls and most are pretty consistant with the 2 horizontal (more or less) lines. The angle of the lines seems to be an indicator as well...less than 30 degrees to horizontal is a girl and more than 30 degrees is a boy. This is the "angle of the dangle" theory.

Of course there is still room for error and the accuracy goes up each week.


I studied skeletal anatomy in college, extensively, and even documented a collection of neonatal craniums donated from the hospital (macabre I know)...but there is no way to tell gender based on the skull. People do not start to develop the common feminine/masculine features until hormone production kicks in.

I thought a flat skull meant a girl shows how useless I am, how isit you tell by the skull because I now don't have a clue? Haha

Thank you for your help I have heard of the nub theory but don't know if there's a nub on mine or not? I have also been trying to find out about the 2 lines as iv only heard about 3 lines on potty shot so I'm glad you commented about that as it has really helped what websites did you go on that tell you about the 2 lines please?

The brighter line looks like it's in front of the other line, if that makes sense? I really don't know what I'm looking at though!

I had that white line showing up on my DD's scan & although they say its too early to tell, she was a Girl

When will you find out?

 

[dustbunny]

2 White lines tends to indicate a boy and 3 a girl. However... I can't tell anything from you scan aka lines. I do know after my 12 week scan I scoured the internet looking for how to interpret my scan and was 100% certain I had a boy... until I had a private scan a few weeks ago which clearly showed a girl.
So..... I'm going to guess a girl.

i have heard that 3white lines indicates a girl in the potty shot but havent heard nothing about a side view? i think im just going to have to wait 13 weeks till bubs is here and then find out because i am driving myself mad with all of this

2 lines on a 12 week scan show a forking of the nub which will end up being labia, so I'd say your having a girl

I had two white line like that and I am having a baby boy!I drove myself crazy searching the internet for clues and was convinced it was a girl!But our little boy sure proved me wrong when we got our scan!lol

Well...at this stage their parts look almost identical if you were able to see inside. I believe this means that's it would be common to see the 2 white lines with eiher gender. What I was referring to is the "angle of the dangle" theory. It's a theory looking at these 2 white lines that says the angle of these 2 white lines is indicative of gender. I'll try to find more on, like a website or something and post it back on here.

Hi Loula145, I found a website that describes the "angle of the dangle" theory pretty well!

Here it is!

These are 2 others I've looked at too that were pretty informative about development and looking at scans later on in pregnancy.

Ohh I agree with you on that, the angle of my little guys was up.Another post said that a forked two line meant a girl and I was just saying that my fork ended up a boy!
