My brain often hurts due to all the stupid in the world.
@rockkandi - Welcome to The Bump where we sometimes use a gif to make people giggle at our posts. Your post did indeed deserve said gif. Having had 6 pregnancies does not make you a licensed physician the same way that being able to use Google doesn't make me one, but at least I put the effort into finding out correct information before trying to mislead internet strangers. There are, however, licensed physicians on this board that might agree with the information I provided you in that link. Please leave your hypersensitivity at the door.
Oh, and I hope my children have the confidence in themselves to call someone out when they are obviously wrong, if they are willing to do that then I've done something right. Side note: do I get some type of marker on my bingo card for her saying she hopes my kids aren't as mean as me?
@TRexsMum - She can "ID sex" at 13w all she wants, but when the anatomy is nearly identical at 13 weeks she's got a 50/50 chance at being correct. I'm just glad you didn't go buy all the pink
I've heard of it but I've never heard of anyone given the option to do this unless they have some other risk factor to check for. Its relatively new and expensive so I'm not sure of availability. Perhaps based on provider and insurance?
I know one person who had a blood test like this (maybe this one or competitor?), possibly due to "advanced maternal age" and she opted not to find out if expecting boy or girl.
P.S. I'd post a "video" but I'm on mobile. \:D/
I could come back and repeat a bunch of stuff but I think @MusicFanatic,@ICarriedAWatermelon, @CrazyMonkeyBear and @YaMrWhitehave covered everything I would have said.
And I'm sorry for your losses @rockkandi, but you failed to mention those initially. I can only work with what information I have, so yes I used your six pregnancies against you since you felt it was relevant enough to make you educated on the subject.

This. As much I would love to know early, we'll wait. At my NT scan the sonographer was very certain that we are having a boy...apparently there were three dots that girls don't have that were very clear and she "has never seen a girl look like this." However, we aren't naiive and haven't run out buying boy stuff...we will wait until our A/S to be sure.
My A/S won't be until almost 21 weeks which seems like forever, but it's on a Sunday so both DH and I can be there without rearranging work schedules and using sick leave. So anxious and excited!!
