  Boys and girls still look really similar at that point.  Some techs may make a guess but I wouldn't put any stock in it.  Here's a link with pictures and more info.  I didn't ask at my u/s and the tech didn't mention it either.

  I did with my son although the tech and dr told us not to paint the room blue. They didn't even attempt to guess with my daughter.

  This is interesting to me as well. My NT scan is Monday and my first time having this scan done. My girls are 2 and 4yrs and it previously wasn't offered unless you were high-risk, or adv. maternal age at that time.

  I'm wondering if it also makes a difference in their ability to take an educated guess at the sex is you are closer to 10 weeks or more near the end range, i.e., 13+wks. I will be 12wks 1 day for mine and we're likely team GREEN once again anyway (love the surprise) but I'm tempted to know ahead of time this time around

  With my first I asked the tech and she said she was 60% sure it was a girl. Not great odds, but she's a girl so she was right!

  A girl I went to school with found out at her NT scan that it was a boy, and it was confirmed at her A/S that it was a boy. I guess it can happen, but I wouldn't take all bets on it. Maybe an educated guess, but don't go doing the nursery until it's truly confirmed. 

  It may look like a girl at 12 weeks then it's penis grows and actually shows a boy. Or they guess its a boy and the clitoris is just really enlarged and it's actually a girl.
