Obviously the tech told me its a boy. I don't see what I am looking at. I did ask her again and she really didn't explain it. Anyone out there semi good at this and explain it? I see the two legs then a bunch of white between. Do all moms feel like this? I feel like other pictures are easy to tell! Updated with a picture with no flash. It was taken at my a/s at 18w4d. Baby measured on track to the day at the scan.

  • how far along were you when this was taken?

    I have know had 4 boy pregnancies and it was obvious each time. Like really obvious. I don't see a clear penis shot here.

    Is there a glare from your camera taking a pic? Maybe turn the flash off and respost?

    Thanks for the suggestion I reposted. I don't see it clearly at all.

  • I am going to be honest-I don't see a clear penis. We saw the last two boys at 16w3d and 16w1d and you could definitely see a penis in each of them. Do you have any more scans coming up to clarify?

    Nope that's it unless I medically need one later on which I doubt. The 3d places around here are pricey too with most packages near 150 which seems crazy.

  • I have two boys and I could CLEARLY see a penis in both u/s pics. You might get lucky and have another u/s late in the 3rd tri to check fluid so maybe you can attempt looking again then. But honestly if knowing the sex is THAT important, you can either pay the extra to have an elective ultrasound or get your definite answer when he or she is born!

    I was team green with my DD. I wish I would have done the same with this one. My DH has already told people when I said let's tell everyone we didn't find out. Now I feel stuck since its so unclear. I haven't told my family yet. I will probably be honest that I am having doubts and want to stay neutral.. I won't shop at all as my nursery stuff is gender neutral and have some neutral outfits from DD. i just need a new infant seat which I want neutral anyways..I just don't want others going crazy. Plus wanted reinsurance from others that it wasn't clear as day! :)

    I agree....I have 2 boys right now (not sure what baby #3 is) and both were very clear...So much so that I could tell from the ultrasound as the tech looked around before she even said anything.  It isn't clear to me here....maybe just a bad photo...the tech may have seen clearly.
    Praying this little one sticks!

  • This could just be a bad photo. There could be other really clear shots and you just got this one... But it does not show a clear penis here.

  • I would say that is def a boy. There is a bulge with small part sticking out. With a girl in this same shot you would be able to see 3 lines that are the labia. Since there is somewhat of a bulge and no 3 lines, I would say this looks pretty well like a boy

  • I honestly don't see a penis but I am NOT an ultrasound technician. I know with both my pregnancies I could clearly see a penis.

  • The 2nd photo I definitely see it....it's a boy
  • I'm having a girl and through the second u/s photo u posted I can clearly see a penis, the labia was very distinguishable at my 20 W u/s

  • I have 2 boys and a girl. Number 4 on the way. I would say that that definitely is a penis. Maybe not a great picture that she printed but with my girl, I could clearly see three lines. I told the tech it was a girl before she could say it. 
  • What you are looking at is called a toilet or potty shot.

    Imagine that you are in the toilet bowl looking up. The tower in the middle is the penis and the round half ball supporting it is the testicles. The two longer diagonals going right and left at the side of the u/s is the legs.
  • Just ask again at your next ultrasound, i am not sure that looks boy to me but i am not a professional, but i do think i am pretty good ant reading the pictures.... If your still not sure just buy neutral stuff, and when baby is here get whatever specific stuff you want! :)

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
