When did you find out the sex for twins?

I was initially going to the Vanderbilt Midwife Clinic, but they won't see me anymore because I'm having twins.  I'm in a transitional period and don't really have a Dr.  We have an appointment for an ultrasound on Feb. 10th and I'll be 17 weeks then.  One of the nurses at the Clinic said that it might be easier to find out the sex of the babies at 17 weeks, because they are still free to move around and get a good look.  

 I'm wondering when other people found out if they were having boys or girls?  I know 20 weeks is usually recommended  with singletons.  I'm also thinking that there might be room for error around 17 weeks and even if they tell us what they think we're having if we should wait to tell family.

    Educated guess at NT scan at 13 weeks. Confirmed boy at 16 weeks. Confirmed girl at 23 weeks. (She was not very cooperative and had a swollen labia early on). The 13 week guesses were correct.

    My OB told me at 15 weeks.  I am having two boys and it was pretty obvious at that point!

    At our 20 week scan.  No guesses at NT scan and no guesses at our 15 (or 16?) week scan.   I think boys tend to get called earlier : )

    One twin was very obvious at 17weeks, but they really weren't sure about the other one.  At 21 weeks they confirmed the 2nd was a girl.  I think it really depends on the dr and the babies positions.

    The u/s tech and doctor were almost positive that we were having 2 girls at my 17w5d appointment.  It was confirmed at my 20w appointment.

    I was 18w1d with DS1 and 17w1d with the twins.  They were right both times.

    yeah!  I can't wait.  It sounds like we might find out Feb. 10th then.  I'll be so happy either way.  :) Congrats to all of you and thanks for the reply!

    We were hoping to find out at the NT scan but our tech said they babies were moving around too much and "were not cooperative" (she was a little frustrated - I thought it was funny) but we found out at 20 weeks.
