If it's a boy, they should definitely be able to tell at 15 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980408 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:42:40 +0000 mfa_lady 1980408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our tech (who is awesome, and uses a great US machine--in our hospital) guessed correctly right before 13 weeks. I think it all depends on baby's cooperation and the quality of the machine! Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980321 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:03:08 +0000 Jess1483 1980321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: she guessed :boy: We will see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980239 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 11:27:31 +0000 simplyfelicity 1980239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: And...? :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980138 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:43:20 +0000 catomd00 1980138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing is certain until birth, but there's a decent chance they will be able to tell. The elective place I went to has 99.9% success rate at 16 weeks. That's the earliest they do them. That being said, we went at 15.5 and they were correct about girl. That's also what we were told at 12 weeks based on nub theory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980091 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:24:43 +0000 78h2o 1980091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: If you have it done before 14 weeks, they can measure the NT and check for the presence of the nasal bone, both of which can raise red flags for DS. A high NT measurement can raise concerns about multiple issues. I don't know that they would give you odds ratios based on the NT alone (if you have decided to forgo bloodwork)... if you don't want it, maybe you could ask them not to give you odds? Just wanted to make sure you didn't want NT measurements, since they can't do that after 14 weeks (as certain features that need to be seen on the scan are not present after that point). Not sure about gender at 15 weeks...I would think there's a decent possibility they could tell you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980053 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:05:46 +0000 Jess1483 1980053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My tech made an educated guess yesterday at 12 weeks, 5 days (but baby measuring a week ahead). I don't know if I buy it, though. And she said she wouldn't paint the nursery or anything. We'll see in a few weeks if she was right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980047 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:01:50 +0000 magnolia 1980047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out at 14 weeks, everyone thought that was way too early but the tech was right!<br /> So excited for you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1980018 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 09:45:45 +0000 Pumuckl 1980018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were clearly able to tell with both pregnancies at 15 / 16 weeks (boy &amp; girl). Enjoy baby peeking :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979984 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 09:29:13 +0000 simplyfelicity 1979984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyPenguinXO: we already had a scan at 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979858 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 08:06:11 +0000 travellingbee 1979858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was clear at our Nuchal at 12 weeks that he was a boy but we didn't tell anyone until it was confirmed with an elective at 16 weeks. 100% boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979727 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 00:04:00 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 1979727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: the NT scan is an ultrasound and blood work, is what I meant. Where verify, harmony, materniT21 are all just blood tests. I assume then they just offered to do an ultrasound for you around 12 weeks. Will it be your first one or did you have an early dating scan!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979725 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 00:02:02 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 1979725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: NT scans usually have blood work with them yes and they do have some false positives. I do it because I want to be prepared and I don't want to pay OOP for the bigger tests, so If this showed something my insurance would cover those bigger blood tests. </p> <p>They may just be doing a standard ultrasound/growth check then :) that's totally fine In that case at 15 weeks or whenever they want to do it ! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979688 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 23:22:14 +0000 simplyfelicity 1979688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyPenguinXO: @Tidybee: I know little to none about these, so let me know if I am wrong but we decided to not get the testing and just have a scan. The whole testing and odds thing kind of freaks me out when it sometimes isn't even true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979642 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 22:44:59 +0000 Raindrop 1979642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's possible! :) It will be super exciting to know that early. I am super a-type and it was killing me having to wait till 20 weeks because I need to plan plan plan. Haha. I can never be team green! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979619 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 22:17:27 +0000 birdofafeather 1979619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were able to tell clearly at 15w that LO was a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979571 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:43:15 +0000 Tidybee 1979571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: completely off topic but is this your nt scan? They actually wouldn't let me schedule mine past 14 weeks (same problem with the holidays) because they didn't think the measurements would be accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979570 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:42:45 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 1979570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little off topic but are you just having a 12 week ultrasound or is it the first trimester screening? Because those are only accurate for the NT fold measurements up to 13 w 6 d so I would be concerned about waiting until 15 weeks unless it's just a check up scan.</p> <p>With that being said, if baby cooperates they should know! Ask them to check the goods and tbay its not the umbilical cord. They can turn the color stuffs on and see blood flow. Our tech did that with my son to confirm the junk she was seeing was penis and not umbilical cord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979557 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:34:50 +0000 lawbee11 1979557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean I wouldn't paint the nursery but I think there's a really good chance they'll be able to tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979542 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:25:38 +0000 PrincessBaby 1979542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Oh then I would totally bet you're good :happy: For this LO's gender u/s at my practice on their equipment, I saw the 3 lines on the screen literally within seconds. I said, "I think I already see 3 lines..." And the tech smiled and said, "I think I do too, but we're just going to be sure..."And we were 100% confirmed within literally 2 minutes. With my first LO at the 3d/4d place, it took a lot longer and even though my potty shot was clear, it wasn't as apparent on the screen. If your practice has that high level equipment, I REALLY think it will be pretty easy to tell:) It was so obvious for this one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979538 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:24:31 +0000 loveisstrange 1979538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, more than likely. We had a gender scan at 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979537 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:23:55 +0000 artsyfartsy 1979537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had an unexpected ultrasound at 14 weeks 4 days (couldn't pin down the heartbeat with a Doppler) and they could very well tell that he was a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979532 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:22:19 +0000 simplyfelicity 1979532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: My office also does in house NT and Anatomy scans, so hopefully they can tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979529 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:18:17 +0000 NeekieRose 1979529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told at 13 weeks with DD at an antenatal office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979513 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:10:04 +0000 hilsy85 1979513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out at 16 weeks with 100% certainty. I do agree that it depends on the level of the equipment--this was a MFM office and they had super intense 3d machines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979496 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:01:17 +0000 BeachMama 1979496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out at 14 weeks with DD. I think as long as they get a good crotch shot they'll be able to tell you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979493 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:00:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 1979493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed the poll as it wasn't the same as the question in post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/determine-gender-at-15-week-us#post-1979483 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:57:35 +0000 Mrs. Garland 1979483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a 4-D ultrasound at 15 weeks and it was accurate! </p>
