Hello! Just had my 12 week ultrasound and the tech said it was definitely a boy.. I'm a little annoyed in her confidence. I tried telling her "well it could really be either right" and she basically said no because she's never wrong.. I get that the nub theory has some proof behind it but have any of you has techs be that confident in their answer? We have a 16 week ultrasound coming up and that will confirm the gender so I'm not out buying blue (even though this would be our 3rd boy!).. Anyone been told it was a boy and it ended up a girl??
Re: 12 week ultrasound - tech gave definite "boy" answer
Yea I thought I was a little early too so I was a little annoyed with her confidence in the gender. Not because I don't want a boy but because I really wasn't expecting a "definite" gender at that appt. I thought it was just a guess when they say it.
To answer your question, I think there's a 50% chance it's a girl. You should have your A/S in about 8 more weeks, I would rely much more on what they say at that appointment than at 12 weeks.

Yea I'll have to rephrase that post because I'm definitely looking for experiences related to us techs "definite" answers. Thanks again!!

I have no experience on the "nub theory" so I can't help there. I have heard of people being told one thing even at 16 weeks and it being wrong. So if I were you, I'd wait until your next scan to buy blue just in case!!
