What are the chances?

That I can get a sono tonight at my 16 week check up and find out what we're having?

I'm afraid they'll tell me 4 weeks before I can come in again. If the anatomy check is between 18 and 22 then I want to go in at 18! Did you have to wait 4 weeks? Did anyone find out at 16?

Re: What are the chances?

my doc told I had to wait until I was at least 20 because all the other things they need to check need to be in the right stage (heart size, kidneys, brain, etc)

Re: What are the chances?

I had my first level II at 16weeks, 6 days and they told me it was a girl. This was confirmed at 20 weeks at my 2nd level II (they could not get all the measurements at the 16 week one)

Re: What are the chances?

with my dr's office the sono techs are right there so all the "scheduled" visits (sonos and check-ups) are scheduled at different times - it's up to me as the patient to decide when i want to go in - but they do give me a guideline.

i would love to go in at 18W but i will be in california so i will see if maybe i can just go in the week i come back! i didn't even think of going before 20 weeks!

Re: What are the chances?

I don't know. I am wondering the same things only I am 12 weeks. I would think the doctor would be able to make an "educated guess" for me, and especially for you since you are 16 weeks.

I was able to find out the gender at my amnio at 16 weeks and 6 days. The doctor and the nurse were pretty adamant about what they saw.

Re: What are the chances?

I didn't have a sono between 12 weeks and 20 weeks. At 12 weeks they said they had no idea.

Good luck!

eta - my best friend had a sono at 17 weeks and they told her they couldn't tell what it was. She later found at 20 weeks she was having a

Re: What are the chances?

You’re so funny. I was thinking the same thing!
I have my 16 week appt on Friday (can’t wait) and I sorta hope they can ‘lean’ toward boy *crosses fingers* cause the 12 u/s they leaned towards girl.

I don’t mind waiting for the 20 week because I think that’s a level II with all the measurements and etc, so then I’ll feel more positive that they know if they see a nut tree or a cherry bush.

I am also DYING to see how much fatter I’ve gotten since I’ve been eating like a PIG!

what they "saw" - as in there was "something" to see?? is that a hint?

Re: What are the chances?

its possible they can tell...i found out pretty early i guess, i think it was about 16 or 17 weeks and my little was spread eagle and very un-lady like.. and i went back a few weeks later (i see a specialist as well and get many sonos) and they said, yep, she is still a girl...so i think its possible.. but i wouldnt bank on def. finding out.. you never know, your baby's legs could be crossed or something.. but let us know if you find out! goodluck!
