NT scan PIP guesses?...just for fun!

The tech said it's a pretty good shot of the angle of the dangle, so without revealing what she guessed (just for fun, of course since this was not even 13 weeks), does anyone else think they can tell if this LO is blue or pink?
ETA: from a study I read...Between 12 and 14 weeks, if you can get the right view during your NT
scan, you can make a pretty good guess of what the fetal sex is of your
baby!
Within this shot, at the end of the spine, there is a genital tubercle
sometimes referred to as a genital ?bump? or nub. The gender
determination is made by studying the angle between the genital
bump(nub) and the direction of the lower portion of the spine.
If the angle that is created is greater than 30 degrees then it is a
male and if the genital tubercle is parallel or less than a 10 degree
angle to the spine, it is a female.
Not 100% accurate, but pretty good. Out of 1,424 pregnancies in the study, at 11
weeks it was only correct 50% of the time but at 12 weeks, it showed to
be 80% accurate and at 13 weeks, 94% accurate!
*BTW, we would LOVE a little brother buddy for DS and hope to have at least another child after this...but it would also be fun to have a daughter. So basically, we are curious but not hoping for one sex over the other!

Re: NT scan PIP guesses?...just for fun!
This was my daughter at the NT scan
The two pictures look pretty close, so I'll say girl.
comparing it to this:

I'd say girl, too
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Check the link that someone posted above, the baby2see website. They all look like penises at that point. That's why it's all about the angle, not the length. I would say girl too since it's angled so low.
Hey Punkinedibride, can you post your pic, too? I haven't heard of that other theory before but I looked it up...really interesting. Actually, DS's NT scan skull shape is very different from this baby's. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry I do not know how to post pictures to the board!
Maybe I will try and learn tomorrow. I too compared this ultrasound to my DS's and there are very clear differences.
oh, I can tell you how to post pics to the board if you wanted to learn.
It's pretty simple...go to www.tinypic.com and upload your photo...then choose the size that says 'message board/forum' and voila! It will give you a short code that you just cut and paste into your message! I think it starts with [img...
Good luck!
how did I do?
I can see it!
I;m starting to question my tech even though she claimed she hasnt been wrong in 20 years....but I posted this pic to the In-Gender forum and about 7/7 guesses are all BOY! I guess time will tell...
