I had elective ultrasounds at 16 weeks for both LOs. I think we will attempt Team Green or just find out the anatomy scan (18-19ish) weeks for any future babies.

I wish I could find out sooner, but we'll be waiting until 20 weeks! I am dying to know!!
My SIL found out the gender of her baby at 11 weeks after doing a genetic blood test. I'm so jealous, but I can't afford the test!

I found out at anatomy scan at 19 weeks, and will probably do the same with future LOs unless we need another U/S for something else!

I WAS TG, but had we decided to find out it would have been at at 21 week anatomy scan!

We could have found out at our anatomy scan at 20 weeks, but we were Team Green. Then my OB's receptionist slipped and told me at 29 weeks.

DD1: 20 weeks, but wasn't confirmed fully til around 24 weeks
DD2: DH found out at 20 weeks, but I was TG til birth!
DS: at 13 weeks, 2 techs said "boy" based on the nub.
it was confirmed at an elective u/s at 15 weeks, and again at anatomy scan

With DS and this LO, I found out at the 20 week anatomy scan. With LO, I read about the nub theory, so I guessed after my 12 week scan, but I wasn't told anything official until 20 weeks.
With S, I went to a boutique at almost 17 weeks and found out.

I'm 4 weeks 4 days (yes, very early) and since we did IVF w/PGD we could have known before our transfer even! It's so hard to say no every time they ask if we want to know! I know it's on a piece of paper in my file every time I'm there and I'm dying to find out!
But we want this to be as "natural" of an experience as possible. So we might compromise and wait until 12 weeks

At the anatomy scan at 19 weeks. We did an elective ultrasound at 32 weeks because I wanted to be 100% sure!

With both we found out at a 15 week elective ultrasound.
With #2 we were able to see at the NT scan (12 weeks) that it would more than likely be a boy.

14 weeks 4 days! I had an elective ultrasound scheduled at 17 weeks but at my 14 week doctors appointment they couldn't get a good read on the heartbeat with the Doppler so we got an ultrasound and they were able to tell us he was a boy!

we found out at our anatomy scan at 18 weeks! Although it was so early I was nervous that the tech was wrong and I made the tech at my 24 week ultrasound double check to make sure no boy parts had sprouted magically in the 6 week interim

I found out by blood test at 11 weeks. Then had it confirmed by ultrasound at 15.

18 weeks with my son but with my next baby I will be over 35 so my insurance will cover the Maternity21 test which should tell us at 12 weeks!!

19 weeks but we were taking the tech's word for it since lo didn't want to cooperate when we wanted the money shot. I had an ultrasound a few weeks later because they were concerned about lo's growth so we were able to confirm it then.

with P it was at 20 weeks. this baby will probably be the same, although I might try the nub theory and see if they have any guesses... I am dying to know!!!

20 weeks. I seriously debated getting an elective scan, but I didn't have any good resources in my area and by the time I really looked into it I was like 16 weeks, so we just saved the money and waited.

We found out at our anatomy scan at 23 weeks with DS. I'm 16 weeks now with LO2 and not sure when we'll find out.

I had my regular ultrasound at 20 weeks. I was going to be TG but had them put the gender in the report incase I changed my mind. ( We only get 1 ultrasound unless there's reason for another. ) I had a Dr appt about 2 weeks later ( tech's won't tell you the gender here, your dr has to tell you. ) so I got a copy of the report and put it away incase I changed my mind. That lasted all of 2 hours before I looked at the paper.

We found out at 17 weeks with DD and 18 weeks with DS.
@autumnlove: We're going to attempt team green with #3 too!

12 weeks during our NT scan. Our dr said they are 95% confident on the gender during this scan. We confirmed it as such during our anatomy scan at 18 weeks.

Elective scan at 17wks. I would probably do it again for future LOs because I'm impatient!
