Got the appt scheduled for this Saturday, when I'll be just 3 days shy of 16 weeks. They said that should definitely be far along enough to see the sex clearly, and their accuracy rate is very high! </p> <p>I'm so excited :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2422455 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 16:43:40 +0000 autumnlove 2422455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely worth it and it was right all 3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2422392 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 15:59:58 +0000 ElbieKay 2422392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was AMA so found out via the Harmony test.

I had one at 16w1d and it was totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2422166 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 14:39:51 +0000 BelugaBean 2422166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We found out at 16 weeks the first time and 15 the second and it was great both times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2422139 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 14:28:10 +0000 LBee 2422139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but mainly because it was wrong :silly: </p> <p>@Lilyann and I both have the same glamorous story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2422071 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 14:04:34 +0000 artsyfartsy 2422071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421919 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:24:15 +0000 lamariniere 2421919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have the option two, but would have jumped on the chance had it been possible, especially with the 2nd one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421915 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:23:22 +0000 catomd00 2421915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was worth it with my first because my mom was so overbearing that we wanted a few weeks to just enjoy the news to ourselves. We didn't do it this time but I reallyyyyy wanted to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421909 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:20:47 +0000 avivoca 2421909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's cousin did it and found out they were having a girl at 15 weeks. Then she got in a car accident and had to have an emergency ultrasound, where she found out that their girl was actually a boy. He's two now.</p> <p>Because of that, I won't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421908 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:19:35 +0000 mauxie 2421908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did it at ~14 wks and it was $50. Totally worth it for us but I like to know things ahead of time! </p> <p>I wish I had done it for LO3 instead of going by the NT scan tech's guess and my intuition bc we were both wrong! I wasn't necessarily disappointed but did feel silly for being so sure it was a girl when in fact LO3 is a boy :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421898 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:16:50 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2421898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: I went at 17 weeks and was happy we did it. Ours was only $50. I probably wouldn't have done it for a lot more than that.</p> <p>Our 20 week ultrasound was the first week in January and we really wanted to know for Christmas, so for us it was worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421897 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:16:27 +0000 kiddosc 2421897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did with both kids. With #1, we were living in Texas but visiting my family in Wisconsin. My parents were able to come with us and it was the only part of the pregnancy they were able to be part of. For #2, we just didn't want to wait. :silly: </p> <p>I really thought it was worth it. We got 30 minutes to look at the babies and see them move around. We could ask the tech to get certain shots and we really enjoyed that time. At the anatomy scans they were always all business and moving around way too fast to see as much as I'd like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421876 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:06:27 +0000 clover 2421876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we found out early with both kids. I will say with my son it was a lot more fun because it was a definite answer, with my daughter they said most likely a girl but come back for confirmation so it felt less exciting (didn't want to get my heart set on a daughter then it turn out wrong). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421872 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:04:38 +0000 BandDmommy 2421872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421869 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:03:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 2421869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! we did with our first. we were just excited and had it done right around my birthday, so it was a fun treat :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-found-out-sex-of-the-baby-early-via-elective-ultrasound#post-2421867 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:02:49 +0000 pinkcupcake 2421867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... Was it worth it? :) </p> <p>I'm currently 15 1/2 weeks and I'm dyyyying to find out (no real good reason, I'd be perfectly happy with either). There's a local elective ultrasound place that will do a quick sex check at 16 weeks. I'm debating right now ;)</p> <p>My husband thinks it's a waste of money since we will prob find out at our 20 week anatomy scan in mid Feb. </p>
