She was right! Waiting for this next ultrasound for my second. Hopefully a girl! oliviaoblivia on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2253050 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 10:38:41 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2253050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @ladybee: boo. avivoca on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2253020 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 09:57:56 +0000 avivoca 2253020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @ladybee: Lame! ladybee on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2253018 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 09:57:11 +0000 ladybee 2253018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just an update, they refused to even take a guess today.

They were 95% confident and they were right. Hoping to find out at 12 weeks again. Fingers crossed.

We did blood work, so I found out officially about a week later, but I did think that our son looked like a boy and our daughter looked like a girl Foodnerd81 on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2248948 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 12:59:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2248948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Turns out my tech guess right at 12 weeks- at today's scan the tech said with 99% certainty that she's a girl! :heart: ladybee on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2244110 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:34:53 +0000 ladybee 2244110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bluestriped bee: with DS they said boy at 12 weeks and then when I had one at 17 weeks due to a car accident they confirmed. It's so weird how some places will say and some won't. matador84 on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2244109 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:32:52 +0000 matador84 2244109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 13 weeks at my dr office With DS I didn't find out until. 19 with dd Mrs. Lion on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2244106 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:30:24 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2244106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We were told with our boy. with a girl they said "if I had to guess, girl, but I can't say that with any certainty". they were both right!

I think it was early at 8 weeks. When we transferred to the OB, the tech didn't say much about what we were having. She said it was too soon at 12 weeks. Even at 16 weeks, she said it was might be too soon to make a guess. She made the guess and it was confirmed at 20 weeks. MY OB has mentioned that the tech is very good at her job and trusts her. ladybee on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2244103 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:27:15 +0000 ladybee 2244103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @daniellemybelle: I did find a place 15 minutes away that's $75.

Our doc said she only strongly recommends it for 35+ but anyone can do it. It was only $250 out of pocket if insurance didn't cover it. ladybee on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2244094 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:22:41 +0000 ladybee 2244094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Truth Bombs: Oh trust me, I tried that already. I was denied. Our hospital only does it for women over 35.

Since you are really attached to one gender I would be scared for them to tell you it's a girl and be wrong! travellingbee on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2244081 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:13:20 +0000 travellingbee 2244081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ With my 1st they could tell at 12 weeks. With my 2nd they couldn't tell from the U.S. but I had a blood test.

Fingers crossed! I'll be 12w4d. If they can't tell, I'd love the schedule an elective but I don't see DH going for it. kjpugs on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2243992 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:00:08 +0000 kjpugs 2243992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't ask with LO1, but this time I asked if they were able to guess (I was 11w6d) and she said she didn't like to guess until at least 12 1/2 weeks, and moreso after 13 weeks. I would have put off my NT scan a week if I knew that! daniellemybelle on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2243987 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:57:17 +0000 daniellemybelle 2243987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We didn't do a 12 week U/S but I think you should schedule an elective 3D U/S at 15 weeks or so since you are so anxious to know :) I think the elective places can usually tell at 15 or 16 weeks. jmarionsmith on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2243984 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:56:14 +0000 jmarionsmith 2243984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She made it clear both times for us that it was just a guess and to not go painting the nursery, but for pregnancy #1 she guessed boy and was correct, pregnancy #2 she again guessed boy but was wrong. catomd00 on "Were they able to tell gender at 12 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-they-able-to-tell-gender-at-12-weeks#post-2243979 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:53:23 +0000 catomd00 2243979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Made a nub guess of girl and they were right!

I will find out next week if she was right (assuming baby cooperates and shows us the goods!)
