Anyone get their gender determination at 18 weeks?

snowflake26 · October 2009

We had our ultrasound today...She said it was a girl and had a couple good times to check, however for some reason..I still feel unsure...

I really wanted a girl and am completely overjoyed but not sure if I should run out go crazy with PINK everything...

Just wondering if 18 weeks is too soon to tell. With my first child it was a boy and it was soooo obvious....looked like a third leg...

Anyone else feel uncertain like me?

Thanks!

I got mine at18w6d and the doctor was very sure... part of me was still skiddish to buy a bunch of pink. But I got over it and did anyway

i think that's when i found out the sex.

I got mine yesterday, and while I couldn't really tell from the US, she seemed really positive, so I am too.

I think the chances of them screwing up the gender determination this day and age is pretty slim.

On our third ultra sound on Nov 18th I'll be 18 weeks and we're going to determine the sex then. I had my second ultra sound this past week and the ultra sound tech wanted to make a call on the sex himself then and there (he said boy) but I told him I would stick it out until the 18th before jumping up and buying all blue.

I'm having a u/s tuesday and my dr said they could tell as long as it was in a good position. She did say though that it'd be certain if it was a boy but don't go running out buying 1000 pink things if it looks like a girl, they won't give a positive answer on that until later, just a "likely" determination. As far as how common mis-determinations are..... I know 3 couples who were told wrong 2 had boys instead of girls and one had a girl instead of a boy( the latter being a really uncommon mistake)

My Doctor said at 18 weeks they can tell. I have mine on Tuesday and I will be 18 weeks. I know girls who found out at 14 or 15!!

So excited for you!!

I had mine at 18 weeks 1 day and it was VERY clear that he is a boy. Very, very, very clear!

I had mine at 18 weeks and the tech said she was 99% sure it was a girl. It was an elective u/s so she took her time and looked at her parts from a ton of different angles. My g/f however was told my her drs office she was having a girl when she was around 18 weeks and she went back Friday and they think it's a boy now (she is now 22 weeks). She has to wait another week to find out. I would say after two visits of them confirming the same gender you should feel pretty confident.

Not too soon at all. Actually its the right time to find out. I found out at 14 weeks that it was a girl (my co-worker scanned me for the hell of it). I had my big u/s at 19 1/2 weeks and, yup, still a girl. Nothing sprouted, so-to-say.

Mereou12 · October 2009

I had my big u/s at 18 weeks, and it was clear as day that he was a boy. Reconfirmed last week at my 33 week growth u/s!

I found at with my son at 17 weeks and with this one at 17 weeks (girl). It was very obvious with my son, and I couldn't see antyhing at all sticking out, and she said she saw the 3 dots which indicate labia. I wanted a boy though, so I would be so psyahced if they were wrong!

Sorry for the underlining, I couldn't get it off!

Ciconrad · October 2009

Had mine yesterday at 18w3d and it was clearly a boy, so I would trust whatever they told you. I found out with my son at 15 w (later confirmed at 17w3d). The gender is definitely determinable at 18 weeks. Go buy pink!

Boizmom · October 2009

We had ours at 18w 2d and there was no mistaking that it's a boy. His parts were all hanging out for all the world to see.

katester72904 · October 2009

I was not given an answer at 18w she was too shy. The tech said she thought it was a girl, but said she did not get a good enough look. 2 weeks later it was a confirmed girl. I saw the "lack of it" myself.

missa8182 · October 2009

Mine was a few days before 16 weeks, and they're still sure

J&Jaggies06 · October 2009

At 18w3d we were told girl by both the tech and doctor confirmed. Today 19w6d we had another one (elective because I also wanted to be certain) and it looks even more sure. This tech actually said 100% and this time I could see the 3 lines. In the first one I couldn't see boy parts but I also couldn't make out the 3 lines even though the tech said she could see them.

Have fun!

bergs720 · October 2009

We went to a 4D place and they said they can tell at 15 weeks. We just went today for gender and he said we are, without a doubt, having a girl. 18 weeks shouldn't be too soon to tell at all, our tech said that it is very obvious when it's a boy, as long as you can get a between the legs shot.

Colie712 · October 2009

17w5days. It was a boy and still is. I think a boy is easy to figure out but who knows. I think I would go register for girl stuff if I were you

ditzydi_2000 · October 2009

We found out at 18w1d. even then I kind of wonder if it was to early because the doctor said the parts usually look like a turtle. He said our little guy's parts looked like a snail.

lvmomjbj · October 2009

Found out at 18w5d it was a girl (MUCH to our surprise) and then reconfirmed with a 3D elective U/S who also confirmed it, and I got to see 3 lines.

auslyn804 · October 2009

I was 18wks with ds. It was obvious he was a boy.

Puertoricanbeauty22 · October 2009

We found out we were having a lil boy at 17 weeks and 2 days. It was totally a boy though we saw his junk! :P

Leoane Gago · October 2009

enjoy buying pink

naflmj · October 2009

We found out at 18 weeks and was confirmed again at 20 weeks.

adamstodrake · October 2009

Found out at 17w2d that we're expecting a boy. It was very obvious!

adriennevla · October 2009

I got mine at 18.5 weeks, and they were very confident. Of course, I have a boy and I feel like boys look a little more obvious, but I know plenty of other gals who have had their girls' sex determined pretty early.

osscott4510 · October 2009

They told me the gender at the end of my 15th week, I thought it was pretty obvious it was a boy, but I was also told boy at 11 weeks...which I knew not to really rely on. Maybe harder with a girl because it isn't as obvious? or is it?

Congrats!!
