My MFM made a guess at 14 weeks that it was 2 boys and he was correct.
FWIW, I think it's a LOT easier to tell boys.
4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!
sFET 11/9/11 - Beta 11/18 BFP!
It was very clear at 16wk3days that we were having two girls!

At 12 weeks the tech guessed that they were both girls. She felt pretty certain.
Today at 15 weeks, 5 days - they said baby B is a girl and baby A has a 90 percent chance of being a girl.
So I suppose we will wait 'til 20 weeks to get the absolute confirmation on baby A!
