Sonogram to Determine Sex?

How many weeks do you usually have to be to find out the sex of the baby (using a sonogram)? I know it is way too early now, but I am just so excited to find out that it would help me to have an anticipated date.

We got a sneak peak at 16wks (which was correct) and again at 19wks.

I believe they usually do the determine the sex when you have the "big u/s" which is generally around 20wks give or a take a week or two.

Most answers you will get will be at your 20 week u/s. However with us IF ladies, we sometimes get more u/s's than normal. I got an educated guess at 14 1/2 weeks and a confirmation at 16 1/2 weeks.

Ditto pps. 20 weeks is the most common "big" u/s to determine sex.

We got a ton of u/s.  At 12 weeks, they guessed one of each.  At 14, they guessed again at A = boy.  At 16 weeks, we were confirmed with one of each.  At 20 & 24 weeks, it was still one of each.  I should add that we get 3d at all our appointments, so its pretty obvious what we're looking at.

Good luck!  It's a tough wait!

Mine was done at 18w4d and it was VERY obvious that we had 2 boys!  You can have them earlier, they're just not accurate some times.  Depends on how good your tech is and how good the equipment is.

We actually got a guess at our NT Scan (12w) and the tech was pretty certain.  At 14w a different tech also agreed with the first.  We got official confirmation today - definitely a boy!
