16 weeks is usually to soon to see genitalia. I had a u/s last night for some spotting and they couldn't tell even though baby gave them a clear shot. Between 18 and 20 is normal. Also, they don't do a u/s just to find out gender. You'll have an anatomy scan and as part of that you can find out the sex if baby cooperates.

I get all my u/s at a MFM at a very highly respected hospital and they basically laugh at you if you ask them to check before the AS. They are all business.

20 weeks, 1 day to be exact! My doctor insisted that I waited until I was 20 weeks because he knew we wanted to find out and the longer you wait, the better the chance of seeing what's between their legs and accuracy
Our OB is a family friend, so we found out at 16 weeks last time, and it was confirmed at our anatomy scan at 18 weeks. For this baby, they're going to do a quick scan tomorrow at my 16 week appt to see if we can see the sex, but the official anatomy scan won't be until 18 weeks.
Had an unscheduled ultrasound at 13 weeks to keep an eye on an ovarian cyst I have and the ultrasound tech said boy and thought she was 100% sure. Shocked they could tell so early. Have an appointment at 17 weeks to confirm. DH was sad he didn't go to the appointment.

We chose to wait, I wanted to be certain and didn't want to play a guessing game for a few weeks if we went early!
