Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

I have to see my perinatologist next Monday. I will be 15 weeks and 3 days.
He has AWESOME equipment. I mean, my 12 week sono pictures were unbelievable!!!! so clear.
I have to have the hematoma checked at this appointment and they always do a sono (usually an internal bc they cant see it on an external).

So, my point....you think they can tell at that point since their sono machine is so advanced?

Anyone else have sex determined before 15 weeks for a reason like this?

I had a 12 week sono on Friday and the doctor said she could guess the gender (but baby didn't want to play! ) and she said she would be about 70% sure at that point. I think they could make a good guess at 15 weeks, although your doctor might not want to - sometimes they don't like to say unless they're really sure.

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

i was 15 weeks n 3 days when they said i was having a girl

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

it all depends on your sono tech. ours refused to guess until 20 weeks.

keep in mind at 15 weeks - boy parts look like girl parts...it's all about the 'angle of the dangle'. There's a great website with photos - to show how hard it is...but i don't know it....

That is awesome!!!!! The one bad thing about being in nursing ed is I dont belong to one particular floor, (i cover 5 units) so it would be hard for me to do that!!)

i am dying to know if they can tell next week.
Or if they will

Anyone else????

at 15 weeks, I think the chances are pretty good. I found out at 16w, 6days that we were having a girl

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

With DS, at 15 weeks, my OB/GYN said that I was having a boy but his exact words were: "Dont mortgage your house on it" Anyway, at 20 weeks it was confirmed...a boy!

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

depends on your tech... mine knew 99.9% sure at 12 week ultrascreen that it was a boy - and was confirmed at the level2

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

I used to go for weekly sonograms and at 11 wks, they told me they were 90% sure it was a boy and at my Level 2 at 19 wks, they confirmed it!

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

Yes.

My OB told me that they can tell by the ultrascreen.

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

yes, i think that they can be almost certain of the gender by then, but not as sure as they are at the 20 week ultrasound.

i just had an ultrasound last week at 11wks, 6 days, and the tech told me with about 70% certainty that it's a boy. i go for my ultrascreen tomorrow, so we'll see if that tech will play

good luck!!!!

Re: Do you think @ 15weeks gender can be determined?

yup! I was just over 11 wks when my sono tech told me the gender
