2nd Trimester

How early did you find out sex?

Hi everyone! I know you are suppose to wait to find out the sex till your 20th week, but DH and I were hoping to find out on our 17th (we will be on a family vacation and wanted to surprise everyone). So just wanted to know if anyone found out sooner rather then later and how accurate it was. Also, do they have to do anything vaginally for the sonogram? Thanks!

Re: How early did you find out sex?

  • It is possible. However, your doctor probably has a set time frame of when they like to do the anatomy scan, he/she will tell you when that is.

  • we found out week 15, but took it with a grain of salt.  its been confirmed each time. 
  • Very obvious it was a boy at 17w5d. I have another u/s in 2 weeks so we will see if he is still a boy! The Dr said go ahead and paint the room though, she was 100%.

  • I found out right before my 18 week at a 4D sonogram place that we paid for. My doctors office doesn't do gender scans before 20 weeks and the tech at the 4D place was a moron and thought we were having a girl before she even got a decent shot.

    After asking for a crotch shot she said it was a boy and it was confirmed at the 20 week. 

    You might be able to find out early but I'd wait till at least 18 weeks to do so.

  • We had an NT scan at 12 weeks. The dr. guessed boy, and he was right.

  • 16 weeks with blood test confirmation.

  • We paid (or actually had a gift certificate) for a private 3D/4D u/s at 14 weeks and 3 days and it was very obvious that he was a boy.  If they use a good machine they can tell at 14 weeks.  If it is the normal u/s machine that they use at the dr. office then they say to wait until 20.

  • My OB said between weeks 18 - 20. I had mine at 19 weeks 4 days. My OB explain that even around 14 weeks it can be difficult to tell for sure the gender.
  • ALLLLLL BOY at 17wks 6days! He was VERY in-discrete during the us! Stick out tongue

    Radiologist and doctor both agree that it's 100% a boy and should be ok to start the nursery! We can't wait!

  • 16 weeks, and I wish we'd waited--the gender determination at 16 weeks was wrong. (They said boy, and it's a girl.)

    The only vaginal ultrasound I had was at 6 weeks. My 12 week NT scan and all subsequent ultrasounds were on the belly.

    My Peri guessed girl at my 12 and 14 week ultrasounds.  She confirmed girl at 16 weeks and double checked at 18, 19, and 20 weeks.

    So, 17 weeks seems perfectly fine to me!

  • going to be getting the news at 19 weeks exactly!
  • 16wks 1day - Boy (this was checking if my placenta had risen)

    18wks 1day- confirmed Boy! (this was my anatomy scan)

  • 16 weeks and then I had a 3-D done at 17 weeks. Girl both times.
  • We had ours 17w5d
  • Our specialist told us it was a girl at 12 weeks.  At 18 he confirmed.  Just had another u/s last week - still a girl.  So it all depends. 
  • we just found out yesterday we're having a girl, 19 weeks. it was pretty exciting. 
  • We went to a prego spa (not doctors office) and found out at 16 weeks because my grandfather was in hospice and we weanted to know in time - we then confirmed at our 20 week check-up.
  • Found out at 17 weeks 3 days at an elective u/s. It was confirmed at 20 week 4 day u/s.

  • We're supposed to find out at 17 weeks and 3 days - hoping they can tell at that point :) They said typically they like to wait until 18-20 weeks but they should be able to tell by that point.

  • Was told boy at 12 week NT u/s.  I'm 14 weeks now, so we'll see if this is confirmed at 20week u/s!
