NT Ultrasound/Gender?

Has anyone been able to find out the gender as early as the NT Ultrasound (usually done around 12 weeks)?

Re: NT Ultrasound/Gender?

  • With my first they tried...but they couldn't tell. Turned out it was a girl. I think some will take a guess...but most will give you the disclaimer that it's usually too early to tell because at that point the parts resemble both sexes.

  • Yes, we had DS's very late (closer to 13.5 weeks) and they told us boy. It's about the 'angle of the dangle' and not the fact that there is a dangle at all as both with have external genitals at that age.

    With a very good u/s and a very trained technician it is possible, but still very early.  I go to a high risk OB and they are very very trained, so they have a good 'guess rate'.

  • One of the first things our tech said was that she would not be able to tell the gender this early. Our scan was done at 12w1d.
  • We had our NT Scan yesterday, and the doctor asked us if we had a feeling either way about if the baby was a boy or a girl and if were eventually planning on finding out. We said that we thought if was a girl, and that yes we were planning to find out - and his response was, "Well in that case, I can tell you I'm 90% certain that the baby is a girl!" I definitely did not think we'd find out that early, but I guess the baby was in a good position to tell. The doctor must have been pretty certain to offer up that information without us even asking. We have another ultrasound scheduled for September 24 - hopefully we'll get a confirmation then!
  • Ah! That last response got me excited for my NT scan tomorrow! I am definitely not expecting to find out, but will ask if they have any guesses.

  • Ooooh, we have our NT scan tomorrow morning.  It would be sweet to find out this early :0)
