I work in an ob office and none of my techs would even try to guess that early. I found out at about 16 weeks though.

We found out at 13 weeks and 3 days with both our kids...based upon the angle of the dangle...and it was a free ultrasound thanks to my mom who works L&D. I don't like to go any earlier than 13 weeks if you want an early "guess"...It's always a fun experience!

With my first PG, I asked the u/s tech at my NT scan if they could tell. They refused to tell me either way. Turns out, the u/s techs were instructed not to tell patients the gender that early, even if they were very sure. They won't do it any sooner than the 20 week u/s. I guess the hospital was afraid of people relying on a mistake.

That's true...you aren't going to be able to get someone to do it at a regular appointment...

Last pg, my NT u/s tech was a dud and wouldn't even guess for fun. Many women do get guesses and a majority of them are correct (nothing to see for sure, but has to do with the angles).

I had a fun u/s at my old job and none of the u/s techs would tell me for sure and I was 16 weeks...they said they could make a guess, but until 18-20 weeks its not really developed enough to know for sure. I think they can make a good guess, but are more likely to be wrong if it's too early.

I had a friend find out on a 3D u/s at 13 weeks. But it was also a boy and I believe that is easier to tell.

I posted about this the other day and found an article that said with high resolution u/s technology they can tell with 97% accuracy between week 12-13 and 100% after week 13.

Of course, the study was done related to sex-based genetic disorders and trying to prevent women from having an unnecessary amnio if the sex of the baby precluded a certain disorder. So the techs probably received special training and may have better equipment that what you or I would have for our NT scan. So I doubt these results are as accurate for you or I.

Who knows!

I haven't- it's really too early.

This. I'm in a little bit less of a hurry now.

We found out with DS at 15w6d during a 3D u/s. And that was early.

At 12 weeks it's really too early to tell. Check out the link that the PP posted. Basically all babies at that stage look like a boy. Some techs claim they can tell you the sex based on the "angle of the dangle", but it's basically a 50/50 guess. I've NEVER heard of anyone told that they were having a girl at that stage, because all babies look like they have a penis at 12 weeks. I'd wait until at least 18 weeks to know for sure.
