Ahhhhh it was inconclusive!!

I went in and they took a peek to look for the sex today. This practice doesn't usually do it this early, but they looked because I asked. Baby was totally cooperative, but they couldn't really say for sure! I never saw "three lines" or anything girly, and there was definitely something there. I think what's throwing me off is that a) With Leo and Charlie it was totally obvious and I could see (at the risk of being crude) a scrotum and penis, and b) Dr S always said he was 200% sure.

So I'm really thinking boy! But what do you guys think? I can't decide if it drove me more crazy not to know at all, or to kind of know but not be sure, lol!

Seeker couldn't tell?! He's so good at it, I'm shocked!  From what I remember they always do the gender scan at 16 weeks ...is this not the norm anymore? 

 Anyway, looks totally boy to me!

What a tease. 

I can never read those pictures.  I can't even tell if it's a baby.  Is it possible that it's half marsupial?  I think I see a pouch.

 

No?

BOY! That looks like a boy to me.

I can say that looks NOTHING like what my DD looked like in her u/s at 16 weeks. I'd say team blue for life!

Sorry, should have been more clear - I'm at a different practice now. They don't usually do them this early and I don't think have the same expertise as Seeker at seeing this early. He always knew right away!

Oh please, those are balls.  Definitely balls.

LOL

Okay you guys are helping. I really think it's a boy. I like certainty

I thought it was a dolphin.  That black shady part?  Is that the baby or the placenta?

I'm horrible at this but I would guess "boy" too!  When do you get to have repeat u/s?

That looks like a boy to me! Congrats!!

I am looking at it like this:   because I can't tell what I'm looking at. I have no ultrasound sluthing skills. I wouldn't know a hand from a foot looking at that.

However, everyone else says boy, so I say BOY!

Well, I should have another at 20w, so in about a month.

OR do I just go with my total craziness and schedule an elective u/s somewhere else. Is not going nuts thinking about it for a month worth $65...hmmm...

Well, that's definitely a boy, but yes, totally worth the $$. I paid for one at 15w, 4d because I couldn't stand it a minute longer and my next scan wasn't scheduled for almost 21 weeks.

Forgive me for saying it this way, but it is the "glass table" shot. Imagine the baby is sitting on a sheet of glass and you are underneath looking up. 

I also vote for boy. I see a little turtle and no sign of the three lines.

If you posted a pic of your ovary, I could probably tell you how many follicles you had, but I can never tell what I'm looking at with ultrasounds of babies.

i can't tell either, and i used to stare at my ultrasound pics to try to really figure out what was what. (weird that i was staring at my kid's junk???)

ooooh.  tough.  if you were farther along i'd say boy 10000% but since its early i'm less totally positive.  but yeah, i'd still say boy

EEEeeeek! That totally looks like boy parts to me!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I'm going through something similar. I can't decide if I want my OB to try to guess at my appt next week because I've had more than one friend whose early u/s guess was wrong.So, it would drive me nuts to kinda know but not really know.

And yay for seeing baby and for him to be so cooperative.
