If you had an early one, did they want to recheck to verify?

If we found out during the pregnancy I wouldn't have trusted the answer until at least 18 weeks.

16w1d. Confirmed at anatomy scan at 18w5d.
ETA: The 16w scan was at an elective u/s place. The tech there said she was 100% sure it was a girl. We didn't tell the tech at the anatomy scan that we already knew because we didn't want to influence her. She also said she was sure it was a girl!

We went in at week 19 for our anatomy scan since DH couldn't be there if we waited until week 20 (and I was impatient and couldn't wait until week 21!)
It was clear as day that he was a boy. They showed us the umbilical cord separately from his penis...so our doctor said there was no mistaking it! We had a few U/S after that b/c I was high risk, but everyone concurred that he was a boy, and he sure was :o)

We could have found out at 20 weeks but were team green, we had another ultrasound at 25 weeks to re-check LO's spine and it slipped up, so....not sure how to vote

We found out at 16 weeks. It was confirmed at our anatomy scan at 21 weeks and every ultrasound we had after that.

Are these the appointments your OB scheduled, or did you get an extra one done outside the office?

My hospital did not do it until 20 weeks. I went to a place out in town that did extra ones and paid out of pocket at 17 weeks. We did not get the best picture so we went back to double check at 18 weeks and then my hospital confirmed it at 20.

@MrsTiz: My 16 week ultrasound was an elective one outside of the office.

We had a dating/anatomy scan at 16 weeks (baby measured at 17) and then another anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Both were ordered by my midwife. Our first prenatal appointment wasn't until 15 weeks.

At our NT scan at 13 weeks, we found out it was a girl. And it was confirmed at every ultrasound after that.

We found out the sex at our NT scan when I was 12 weeks along. Our anatomy scan when I was 19 weeks confirmed it. However, at the NT scan, the doctors were 95% sure/confident.

20 weeks. I'm glad we didn't do an early one, I wouldn't trust it anyway. I didn't even trust the 20 week one, I was certain that I was going to have a boy after decorating an all pink nursery.

We found at 18 weeks. It was reconfirmed at 30 weeks when we had a 4D.

15.5 weeks at an elective scan - they double checked at our anatomy scan at 18 weeks. it was correct! (and super, super obvious on the 15.5 week scan, actually, haha.)

I found out at 18 weeks during my anatomy scan. I had to go back at 20 weeks for another because they didn't get all they needed the first time and they reconfirmed that it was a boy!

As early as we could, 15 weeks (to the day) elective scan, it was very obvious that he was a boy!

16 weeks with charlie though we weren't supposed to find out until 20 weeks. 20 weeks with olive at the full anatomy scan.

18 weeks
I begged them to tell me what they thought at the NT scan but the tech said she wouldn't because she was wrong a few times and didn't want to disappoint anyone, haha

My OB scheduled my next U/S for almost 22 weeks, I just had to changed to the earliest it could be, 20+1!!! Because I would love a 16 week elective one but don't want to pay extra then not trust it fully!!!

17 weeks my dr. said he was 90% sure, then it was confirmed at my anatomy scan at 18 weeks.

With #1, at our NT scan around 12 weeks and confirmed at the anatomy scan at around 18 weeks
With #2 we waited until the anatomy scan at almost 20 weeks

16 weeks 5 days... but we didn't trust it til our anatomy scan at 19 +2. We just didn't get a good enough look at the 16w5d scan!

16 weeks - I had both an elective u/s and an amnio . . . so we knew for sure LO was a girl!

I had a cvs also at 11.5 weeks and found out when the results were in. (I do not recommend getting one unless absolutely necessary!)

I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks because of spotting, and the tech hinted that it was a boy. Our actual anatomy scan was at 19 weeks, where it was confirmed!

We go in for an elective ultrasound Thursday at 17w (the earliest the elective place will guarantee a gender determination) but our OB wouldn't order our anatomy scan until 20w so I'm sure we'll get to use that as a confirmation of our first scan.

13 weeks! But I didn't say anything until our 20-week ultrasound because I was scared it might be wrong.

I found out at 18 weeks! I had another elective scan because I wasn't convinced.
