Argh, sonographer couldn't tell at 16wks! (Pics from 21, 16, 14 + 12wks)

So looking like girl 5 - boy 3. I'll update when we find out.

Private scan was brought forward to next week, 16 weeks by dates. I wonder if that's too early to see anything?

Its an iffy one, i think 16 weeks is still a bit suspect..... Sure they will know though! XXXX

They could tell with 100% certainty that my daughter was a girl at my private 15 week scan. Further (medical) scans at 16 weeks, 20 weeks, and 36 weeks confirmed it. So I'm sure they'll be able to tell as long as your baby is in a decent position. Good luck!

I'm going to guess girl. Can't wait for you to find out for sure.

I think that 16 weeks is an okay time to determine gender... Depending on where you go. (Some places are more reputable than others.) I went for an elective gender scan with this one at 16 weeks. I'd never had a scan like that (so early) before, so I was really nervous that it would be wrong. However, they told me it was a girl (and pointed out why they were sure of that) and I've since had two medical scans at 19 weeks and 23 weeks that have confirmed they were correct. At my last scan the tech sort of giggled when I asked her to double check--and said she was "100%" sure the baby was a girl. I finally bought my first girl item at 24 weeks. LOL

Good luck at your scan!!!

I'm going to guess girl I think 16 weeks is an ok time for most, it was accurate for my last pg and my niece has had a few at 16 weeks and they have been correct. However, this pg my 16 week scan was wrong - we were told we were having a little boy, but the anomaly scan @ 19 weeks said girl! We confirmed with another gender scan and then a free rescan at the original place just yesterday. She's definitely a girl!
I do think it's usually accurate at 16 weeks personally, but you'll always have a small percentage that is wrong, but this can still happen at later scans.
Good luck with your scan, looking forward to your update xxxxxxx

Wow, I'm starting to expect hearing "girl" now. Either would be awesome but I'm getting soooo impatient to know now. Will be hard to take whatever info we might get tomorrow with a grain of salt.

 

[Amygdala]

Soooo... No evidence either way. No sign of a penis, no three lines either. I'm taking that as a further hint that it's a girl because surely if there were boy bits, they'd be visible now? Anyway, got a new picture.

 

[EverythingXd]

Aww, lovely picture Amy

I can still see a bit of a nub there. I didn't think a girl would have any kind of nub by 16 weeks, although I didn't think boys bits would look so nub-like still either! Sorry I'm no help!

 

[calliebaby]

Even at 20 weeks it wasn't obvious my boy was a boy, as he tucked his bits.
I think you might have to wait until 20 weeks to know either way.
Good luck!

Really? You're making me unsure again. Worst part is I've told DH that he gets to decide and we can stay team yellow if he likes. But I want to know like yesterday!!! But since we found out twice on my insistence, I think it's only fair I let him decide. Don't know how I'd get through another 23 weeks not knowing though.

 

[Amygdala]

Update at 21 weeks. Still don't know. Argh!

 

[xxxemmaxxx]

Wow stubborn! I would usually say girl if they cant tell but the skull lools very blue to me!

No, I (very reluctantly) agreed to not finding out, so we didn't try this time. 20 more weeks to wait.

wow you have some willpower!!
