We got a good guess at 12w6d and they were right! I didn't put too much faith in it until the next u/s around 17w though.

The external genitals are formed by 12 weeks- so it's possible if you get a good shot, and have a good US tech --- but i wouldn't trust it until you confirm later. We confirmed at 16w with the twins, and at 20w with Griffin. They were right all along.
we "found out" at 13wks... at our NT scan. the u/s guy was very experienced, and even he said he couldn't say 100%. but he was right! at my next several u/s the techs kept changing their minds, all the way up until after 20wks... the girls just would not cooperate enough.
so if yours cooperate you might be able to tell for sure at 16wks. they have to show their stuff
My MFM had a guess for Baby B at 13w5d and she was right. That was on a Level II machine, for our NT. The tech at the OB/GYN said she was 80% sure both were girls at 16w on a regular machine.
Re: When was the soonest you were told the sex/gender? Wks?

At my 13 wk appt., dr. said B/G...but to not go buying pink and blue until the next visit at 16 wks...
Glad we didn't shop before that next visit b/c the dr. told us 2 girls at 16 wks!!
