I made an appt. at the local 3d/4d to have a gender scan done next week when I will be exactly 16 weeks... I am very excited but she told me she would have to do it in 2d ... BOO.. But I was wondering if anyone else had theirs done this early and if they had success!
Re: Anyone do a gender ultrasound at 16weeks?
Thanks sooo much I am so eager to start buying things!
Mine was clear as day at 17 weeks, 3 days. The u/s place we go to doesn't allow you to come until 17 weeks, but they guarantee you that they will get it right, even if the baby doesn't cooperate and you have to go back in several times.
But I will say that we held off on buying much until our anatomy u/s. Just in case. We got 4 clear shots of the 3 lines, but it was only a 3 week wait.
All of the 3d/4d u/s places out here say that they can determine gender at 14w.
We have ours at the Dr office Monday! Can't wait!
BFP #1 12/30/10 ** EDD: 9/6/11** H/B stopped at 10w 6d conf on 2/22/11 ** D&C 2/24/11.
Congrats to my Labor Buddy LoriJ11, baby Elise born 2/24/12
I actually disagree with this. . . I had u/s done for other medical reason during week 16, 17, 18 and finally my anantomy @ 20w4d. Each time they switched between 2D and 3D-- I actually like the 3D. Yes, baby is "odd" looking, but it looked like a baby to me. My mom did call him an alien in the 16w4d picture. So that is personal preference. (And if they are moving alot my understanding is the 3D don't come out very good)
However, I believe, they do the gender check in 2D. I've had them look at everyone of my appointments and they always check the gender in 2D and thens show me his face etc. in 3D.

This time around I was actually told at 12 weeks, then again at 17 weeks, and then confirmed at 21 weeks that it was a girl.
Howeverrrrrr, with my first baby, I went at 18 weeks and was told girl only to be cofirmed boy at my 20 week.
I guess it just all depends on how cooperative baby is and how skilled your tech is.
Good luck!!!
