Nothing is ever 100% but you will know for sure when he/she is born! Honestly, if you are doubting it then why not schedule a 3D or 4D in the near future? Maybe that would give you piece of mind!

I agree with @ash3k‌ . Schedule the elective 3d/4d. Tell me the money wouldn't be worth it to know for sure and to all get to see the little jelly bean bounce around. I'm still considering it, bc the 3d looks so cool.

@rhopa1109 I can't see your gif and I bet it was a good one too...

OP... Seriously??

Does the sex of your baby really matter? I would be thankful for a healthy baby.

starshollow · November 2014

For the record, the opposite is more common- being told girl and having a boy. But normally when a tech tells you sex, they are usually right.

Or you can just go with your gut instead. Because it has to be more accurate than science.

Yaz14 · November 2014

They can be wrong very, very rarely. I think I would trust that the ultrasound wasn't lying to you. You're having a boy. Millions of women think they're having one sex and it turns out they're having the other. Congrats on your baby boy.

Bambi1992 · November 2014

If they said it's a boy, it's kinda hard to mistake a penis.... Just sayin

Bambi1992 · November 2014

Congrats though, I'm havin a boy too and was so sure she he was a girl but I couldn't be happier, it's like I secretly wanted a boy all along

polynomz · November 2014

Before you left, you should have asked 'hey, is there any chance this could be wrong or....' I feel like you posted this hoping someone will be like 'ya, they're wrong allllll the time, intuition is usually right'

Common sense says trust the person that can see inside your uterus.

Don't patronize. You posted a question on a forum. (yes, forum, not support group.) people can comment how they like, not how you like. (within the TOU.) For hair petting try another site.

taahira · November 2014

I've been for multiple scans, 3/4D and OB 2D scans. They is no mistaking I'm having a little boy.

Why don't you post an ultrasound of your baby's junk and let me use my ultrasound reading expertise to tell you if the person that gets paid to look at ultrasounds is wrong?

"hormonal" > dumb question asking. Thanks.
Hunny is there a question mark in there don't think so! It's a statement..

Your question is missing a question mark. And stop calling people "honey." Again, patronizing.

FTR: tried to type the word as spelled by OP, but laptop kept correcting to bunny, so...

@jk3610‌, I think have a crush on you. You plucked my heart strings like Cupid's arrow to my heart with the Austin Powers gif.

Edited because guff =/= gif

I would gif about my mutual affection but sadly am mobile right now. (Don't know how to gif mobile-y). This will have to suffice: $:\$ ">

@souptin and Avril Lavigne...
No denying she is awful but at least she has somewhat faded away into early 2000's dust.
Had no idea (until this thread provoked me to Google Avril Lavigne) that she is married to the lead singer of Nickelback.

Ew.

Not anymore! That vomitous union was short lived. They've already separated. We have an ongoing 'Who Hates Nickelback More?' feud at work, so I may have put their framed wedding pic on a coworker's desk as a welcome-back-from-vacation surprise :-)

olivia3701 · November 2014

Nope all the times I've had an ultrasound done it's always been accurate

But my mom was told id be a boy but here I am a female lol

amandamarie2 · November 2014

My 10 year old self loved Avril Lavigne! Now I don't know why.

jk3610 · November 2014

The reason I hate Nickelback: We never got to find out what the hell was on Joey's head.

MrsRem217 · November 2014

As with any job a mistakes can happen but as an ARDMS registered ultrasound tech myself when I see a gallstone I know it's a gallstone. I am sure when your tech saw a penis she was sure it was a penis.

We try not to make mistakes because it can cost us our jobs. You don't know the training we went though and the countless hours of internship we must go though. So trust your tech and your doctor and not some random "feelings" you have been having after seeing the picture with your own eyes. Believe me a radiologist will be looking at the pictures that the tech takes because there is more to an A/S than just finding out the sex of the baby in case you did not know that. The radiologist will then in turn speak to your doctor about all the findings. Good luck with your baby boy.

Sorry that was long, but I had to get that off my chest with all the Special Snowflakes asking internet strangers if the tech can be wrong.

@Swoon13, baby movement and "dayquim" posts.

You're a trained ultrasound tech? Prepare for the pm flooding of baby crotch shots! Ummm could you give me second opinion??

MrsRem217 · November 2014

@SMFB fortunately for me my ARDMS specialty is in Abdomen and not OB. I have not practiced OB since I finished school over 8 years ago. So while I would be better than an untrained person it's not my specialty!

Ugh. Dumb post is dumb. I know the OPs name and avatar are ringing some distant shitty bells for me but I can't for the life of me remember what past offense she committed. And I'm too lazy to dig through her posting history, but just know, I'm giving the side-eye big time.

I had to re-read, I thought that said "some distant shitty balls" and I was so confused...

Nickelback and I share a home town. They came back once to film the "Photograph" video. During that time all stores had to change prices so that they could give...surprise....nickels back! But don't forget to ask "would you like your nickel back?" Awkward shit.

oh no! Did you have to work at one of those stores during that time? Was it awful? I would have felt the overwhelming urge to quit on the spot the first time I was forced to say that....

Enjoy.

This was a gem.

I would totally buy all girl stuff if that's what your instincts said. Always trust your instincts.

ihatetomatoes · November 2014

@Prpljade‌ I did work at one such place! As a bitchy 17 year old it just wasn't gonna happen from me

Although I should be grateful, that town is now covered in nickelback murals and signs with their claim to fame. I got out in time!

ally3242 · November 2014

I can't with this bullshit. If the ultrasound shows a penis, you're having a boy. You can't "feel" the penis away.
