It really does make me feel better. I will also have a decent amount of third tri u/s so I'll get mine as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong/page/2#post-2296026 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:14:51 +0000 californiadreams 2296026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops I didn't mean to delete my comment but was able to click back on my browser and retrieve my comment:</p> <p>I only know of my sister who at 13 week NT scan was told boy and then anatomy scan later said girl and it was a girl. So she was happy. But in our situation I'm sure we are having boys. I read this thread though because I still have that sliver of irrational hope that I will surprisingly deliver a girl. Especially because at my scan they saw the testicles but not the penis! But I'm sure testicles are pretty obvious.</p> <p>I'm also going to get several more ultrasounds in my third trimester due to my high BP and so I'll get my extra confirmation then.</p> <p>Hugs again to you. I'm totally feeling the same way you are and all your threads are the topic are basically speaking my own thoughts and feelings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2296024 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:12:28 +0000 californiadreams 2296024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2296017 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 18:50:06 +0000 MrsSCB 2296017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @Truth Bombs: I also had a friend who was told boy after the DNA test and ended up having a girl (which they discovered during a later ultrasound). She'd gone through IVF, and they said what likely happened was the DNA test picked up a Y chromosome from a twin that was lost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2296002 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 18:10:55 +0000 lawbee11 2296002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I found out I was having a girl at 16w and it was really obvious. I would think by 18w if they're seeing boy parts then it's a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2296001 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 18:08:50 +0000 mrsjyw 2296001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: that friend of a friend I posted about earlier is on lo#3! First two are boys! Really hoping her us is right bs the DNa test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295998 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 17:52:29 +0000 knittylady 2295998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Omg, can you imagine being told #3 was a girl and then deliver it and it's a boy? Holy shit. Makes me wanna go team green when the time comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295989 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 17:22:44 +0000 BandDmommy 2295989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I don't know anyone who had this happen. I had a friend who was convinced she had a girl even though everything said boy, it was a boy and she is still disappointed. I think it would have been easier if she had accepted the fact she was having a boy earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295959 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 16:26:12 +0000 ladybee 2295959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I was 18 weeks. Like I said earlier, the point of this is to prove to me that it's not likely there was a mistake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295955 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 16:19:37 +0000 chopsuey 2295955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295950 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 16:09:01 +0000 autumnlove 2295950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who was told girl around 18 weeks but she delivered a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295934 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:30:29 +0000 BandDmommy 2295934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: sounds fishy.

I've heard about mistakes made at 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295929 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:17:52 +0000 Thenetexan 2295929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I do know someone personally who was told boy at 12 week ultrasound and at 20 weeks found out it was a girl. Boy and girl parts look alike at 12 weeks, so your technician really needs to know their stuff to tell the difference. I have two boys and went through gender disappointment withy he first. With the second, I felt like I was fine either way. Even though I wanted a girl for me, I knew my oldest would love to have a brother. It has been great seeing the two of them grow together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295925 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:11:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2295925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A childhood friend was told at her anatomy scan that her baby was a girl, and it was actually a boy. She didn't have any ultrasounds between her anatomy scan and when he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295921 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:05:45 +0000 winniebee 2295921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I would love a girl but being a mom to two boys has been pretty awesome.

They were told boy at a 36 week growth ultrasound and delivered a boy (who went home to a pretty pink nursery). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295871 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 14:06:38 +0000 lil owl 2295871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The twins in DS swimming group were supposed to be boy twins but are boy/girl twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295856 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:53:23 +0000 Miss Ariel 2295856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I girl I grew up with was supposed to be a boy according to her ultrasound. Granted it was 30 years ago, but it does happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295850 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:42:23 +0000 LAZB 2295850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone that had a girl, but was told it was a boy. Very different situation though, because she was a triplet, and so everything was super squished. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295848 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:41:50 +0000 Rockies11 2295848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friend of friend, and it was a girl who turned out to be a boy. I have never heard of a boy who turned out to be a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295846 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:30:30 +0000 travellingbee 2295846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard stories of friends of friends of friends but don't know anyone personally. I think it wa more common in the 80s etc, when technology wasn't good. If they see boy parts at 20 weeks, it's pretty certainly a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295832 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:01:34 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2295832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have friends at church who were told it was a girl, and sure enough, it was a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295830 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:58:39 +0000 sotofamilia 2295830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has a cousin who was told she was having a boy and actually delivered a girl who is now four years old. I think in her case the ultrasound machine they were using was old so maybe they didn't see everything correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295829 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:58:17 +0000 Truth Bombs 2295829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: when we got boy results on the DNA test my OB said it's basically impossible for that to be wrong. For them to say boy it means they found a Y chromosome, which the mother certainly doesn't have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295820 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:50:44 +0000 ChelseaRose 2295820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who was initially told it was a girl (which her husband refused to believe), but ended up needing extra ultrasounds due to low fluid and they all confirmed it was a boy. She ended up having a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295819 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:50:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 2295819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I think this is pretty rare these days.... Especially if they already saw boy parts. I would try to start accepting this (and not hold out hope for a 5% mistake) and try to get excited for brothers too!!! We are having two boys and I think it's just going to be the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295814 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:43:43 +0000 littlejoy 2295814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who was told girl, but they had a boy. They were told girl at their 14 week and 20 week scans!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295813 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:43:38 +0000 mrsjyw 2295813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just heard that a friend of a friend had a DNA test that said boy, but their 20 week ultrasound said girl. I'm not sure the details, but sounds fishy to me. I hope she gets her girl in 20 weeks! (just because I hear the DNA tests are more accurate!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-whos-gender-scan-was-wrong#post-2295811 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:41:23 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2295811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone personally.</p> <p>Hope you are feeling better soon. </p>
