13 week genetic screening and ultrasound gender reveals

I will be 13 wks 2 days this coming week for my genetic screening appt. I have heard some people have had the genders revealed during this process. Anyone have any experiences with this.

Are you having labs done? Thats really the only way to tell that early as the organs are just forming.

Anything under 16 weeks is just a best guess. Even 16 weeks isn't extremely reliable. 20 weeks gives you the most certain results (even those have been wrong, really!).

I had 13 weeks scan 3 weeks ago and was forgot to ask because I was joyed seeing the baby, On the due august thread some people have found out so I think it's possible  
Good luck

With my son I opted out of the screening so I'm not sure what to expect. Just anxious to know of course 

i was told boy at mine at 12 and a half weeks. But im waiting for my 18 week scan to be sure, bc that is really early and really just a guess.

I found that it 13 w 6 d with two of my three children

I went in at 12 weeks and some odd days and they did the nub theory and the tech was like "I'm not 100% sure so don't go out buying pink but I'm pretty sure it's a girl, wait for the gender ultrasound in a few weeks"..I wasn't holding my breath that she was a girl but at my next appointment at 17 weeks and 3 days she was a little girl and when I had another ultrasound at 29 weeks she hadn't grown a wiener so the tech was right..

at the end of the day you can't be 100% sure at that stage, genitals don't fully develop until at least 16 weeks...

i found out at 18 weeks thats the best time to find out the gender the parts and organs are more formed then good luck.

Never had that stuff done. My dr said boy at 15 wks, 20 wk ultrasound revealed a boy, and again.. 27 wk ultrasound revealed he was still a boy. We have another ultrasound at 32 wks and 5 days and I am sure he will still be a boy. They are just watching weight amd fluid levels since they were both high and he was bigger than normal at 27 wks.   I am also high risk. So we get tons of ultrasounds.

The nub theory is pretty accurate at 13 weeks! I would say that if they can make a guess, definitely don't go buying a bunch but it's probably right. I always make guesses and am right with the nubs. The only problem is that sometimes the angle of a boy nub won't be super obvious and it may appear girl at first.

As a tech who has done thousands of gender ultrasounds... technically you can see gender as early as 12 weeks but most diagnostic techs will not have the time to check, double check, and get the multiple angles necessary to know 100%. At our facility, we recommend coming in at 14 weeks because, at that point, we can tell for sure 95% of the time and the few that we can't, we bring back for free to check again. In my experience, very few of my clients have been told at their 13 week NT ultrasound simply because most diagnostic techs don't have the time or the training to tell gender that early. It is a specialized skill that diagnostic ultrasound training unfortunately doesn't include because being able to tell gender is not "diagnostic". With that being said, if you are anxious to know, check around for an elective 3d/4d ultrasound facility in your area and see how early they do it 

I've heard that the nub theory is pretty accurate, but the tech wouldn't look between my boys legs to tell me, even if just for smurfs and giggles..

with my first boy i found out at 18 wks.. with my second i found out at 14wks5d.. & third i found out at 14w6d.. all have been accurate   this baby i've had three ultrasounds & each confirmed boy.

i wouldnt 100% go off the nub theory though..

With my current pregnancy I was told I was 14-15 weeks they thought I was having a boy but not to buy paint yet. When I went to prenatal specialist at 17 weeks they confirmed it was a boy. 10 days later my blood work also showed I had they Y chromosome in my blood meaning it was a boy. It's might be possible to see the gender at this stage but I wouldn't go buy paint yet.
