    21 weeks with DD, 18 with DS (give or take a few days/weeks) haha! I barely remember what happened yesterday.

    We were team green but I had GD and a ton of ultrasounds. We opted to find out at 34 weeks, I'm glad we did because after a brutal 43 hour induction and failed epi I was just happy we were both ok. It would have not been the magic it's a girl moment I had imagined.

    We found out with LO1 at 16 weeks exactly and they were able to tell us at 14 weeks, 6 days this time. Both are girls and both times they were right.

    Wait, what genetic testing tells you gender at 11 weeks??

    We found out at 10 weeks via the Materniti-21 test.

    @pachamama: tests like Materniti-21, Harmony etc tell you whether or not there is a Y chromosome present as early as 10 weeks.

    @plantains: Awww cool! I doubt my lame OB practice offers that.

    DD-at birth
    DS#1- 13 weeks (constant monitoring due to a SCH, so we had a correct guess with an early ultrasound!)
    DS#2 - 20 weeks
    DS#3 - 11 weeks (genetic testing)

    @pachamama: I think if you go through the testing website (like google maternity-21 or harmony or whatever) they'll help you contact your doctor. My insurance wouldn't cover it because I'm only 30 and low-risk (they'd cover it if I was over 35 or higher risk of having a child with a genetic disorder). I think I could have paid for it OOP, but I think it was a couple hundred bucks and I couldn't justify that just to find out the sex (the first trimester screening was covered).

    @lovehoneybee: gotcha. I am also 31 and low risk. Guess I'll have to be old fashioned and wait til 20 weeks

    Between 18 and 20 weeks for all three. I can't remember exactly for each one of them.
