16w5d u/s....gender prediction accuracy?

I had a suprise u/s this morning due to cramps this weekend into early this week.  My NT scan hinted at girl (total hamburger) but this scan totally showed a penis according to the tech and I saw it too, just not 100% convinced.  Tech found it on two different shots.  How accurate is this? 

https://baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.html  This still shows a tiny nub for a girl at 17w. 

 I want another boy but would be tickled with either.

  • My doctor always does a gender check at 16 weeks. So I would say very accurate. Congrats on another boy...I want another boy too-find out Monday.

  • There have been numerous girls on here that have had incorrect predictions at the 16 week mark.  I'd wait until 19-20 weeks to be sure.

  • this is why my doc wanted one closer to the 20 week part bc i wanted to know the gender! :) So maybe 18-20 weeks will show more?!?!  im having a boy! :)

  • When the NT scan usually takes place, 11-13 weeks, both genders have a dangle.  Some techs can determine gender based on the angle or how the dangle hangs.  The tech would not have been able to see a "hamburger" this early because like I said previously both sexes have a dangle.  I would say your u/s today was more accurate and you are probably expecting a boy.  Congrats. 

  • I had an amnio earlier than 16w5d and it was very obvious it was a boy (and the amnio confirmed) so Id say if you saw a penis it's accurate LOL
