I've been always wanting to post a picture on here and now I finally get to!

The sonographer said she was going 'off the record' and said she wanted to say girl but it's not definite at all as baby was wiggling and active all over the place, but she did try to look (not typical for an NHS scan! But I work in Radiology at the hospital so she knew me and knows about nubs so had a look, without me asking!)

Can anyone see a nub? I feel like I can in one or two but I'm really terrible at nub pictures. I thought I saw something on screen that looked flat but who knows what I was looking at!

I have a question: if anyone had a sonographer say they wanted to say it was one sex or another but obviously didn't stay firm on that answer - what did they say and what did you end up having confirmed?

Onwards to pictures... I know most of them will not be showing the nub but one or two *might*...



(I was measuring 13 weeks, 2 days and I am 12 weeks, 4 days.)

The second to last photo is the one I think I see a nub on, but I'm sorry the image uploaded rather small on here! I have a large version of the image if anyone needs to see it bigger...

That's where I see the nub too, woman and it is FLAT like you said! :)
So if you are measuring 13 wk 2 days doesn't that mean your calculations are off? Further along past 12 weeks is better!
Remember, I found out at 14 wk 4 days and saw the flat nub! When can you go back in again?

I tried to explain (by showing him a website, too) but he didn't get it... thought they both looked the same (boy/girl nubs.) However, he said he was getting "girl vibes" and it just looked more like a girl to him. So, we will see.

I agree with the others - I see a nub in two of the pictures, and they look very girly to me! Long, forked, and flat. I hope this is your girl!! ;)

suregena
November 17th, 2012, 12:22 PM
I know! And obsessing I am... indeed. I already sent my mom a link about nub theory and drew lines and pointed to the nub to show her. Oh, dear. I need to be slapped... it's not healthy to get so fixated on girl potential when it could still be a boy.

Can anyone explain to me the whole "forked" thing? I don't know if I get it!

Cinss
November 18th, 2012, 05:09 PM
If you just google "forked nub" and look at the images there are about 10 good one that come up first, the forked nub looks like a sideways Y.

I am pretty sure the boy version is more like a sideways microphone but with a slight angle up.

suregena
November 18th, 2012, 05:23 PM
Oh, right... I think I get it... but going to google-away!

This is great news!! I'm off to peruse your sway again... ;)

suregena
November 18th, 2012, 07:38 PM
It turned into a non-sway by the end of it! I think anyone swaying girl should just keep it easy and both partner's be vegetarian... that's what we were... have been for years (my husband and I are both vegetarian as is)! Soy isoflavones, antihistamine, frequent release (I think 10+ days before BD), two BD's spaced out with a FR on the day we didn't BD (to keep the releases going but to spread out the amount of sperm in there...), I stopped drinking tea and just did coffee (with my son it was more tea-heavy even though I am more of a coffee drinker - weird, I know!), but by conception week I had stopped most LE diet stuff and was just doing my usual vegetarian diet except if I did eat in the morning I DID NOT eat cereal! And with my son I was always eating avocados so didn't eat that either. I guess it was my usual vegetarian diet but more unhealthy, I suppose!

But I did so many crazy things in the months before... my weight fluctuating heavily between when I was on the LE diet and then when I'd go off because we'd have to stop trying for timing reasons... my cycle was so irregular and delayed from previous swaying cycles with using vitex and the diet making me lose so much weight quickly (I am NEVER irregular ever usually)... it was my conception month that I was like... I want to get pregnant now, thanks! I had done soy isoflavones for two cycles and conceived the second one... which is about when my cycle started to normalize a bit. I think my body was freaked out after the entire 9 months of stuff I was assaulting it with! Haha...

Cinss
November 18th, 2012, 09:47 PM
So were you actually ttc for 9 months?

Not the entire n 9 months... I stopped a few times due to due date timing because if going to the US the end of this year. I missed ovulation most of the times, too. I was on the roller coaster for 9 months but tried maybe 5 or 6 times in that period.

I know I already guessed, but I'm still strongly thinking girl for you. I'm not the best at nub guessing, but yours looks really, really girly to me. Have you tried contacting lovemy4 on here? She's really knowledgeable about nub guessing, and was pretty confident that my Baby A was going to be a girl (and she was right). I'd be curious to think what she thinks your little babe is!

Either way, I'm wishing you tons of luck tomorrow, and I really hope you'll hear pink! What time is your scan?

With all girl guesses and 1 boy guess somewhere else, this could be interesting. :/

Don't worry, I had more than one boy guess for Baby A (but mostly girl guesses), and she's a girl. I think I had a total of 4-6 boy guesses. And your nub looks so much more clearly a girl nub than the first pics I posted. I'm really thinking you've got a girl in there!! ;)

December 11th, 2012, 04:06 PM
I told you on the DDC...if your baby is not a girl, I will eat my shorts. I would be SHOCKED if it is not a girl. It is such a classic girl nub at such a good CRL statistically. I am excited to hear.

suregena
December 11th, 2012, 05:30 PM
Does it matter if I was 12 1/2 weeks but measuring 13 weeks, 2 days? They didn't change my due date. I know when I ovulated so baby was just measuring big... so does just measuring big make all that much of a difference? i.e. is it like I am that far along even if I'm definitely not? I just wonder if there was still time for it to rise, or because of the baby's position in the photo, I've wondered if that'd effect it... with its butt/back lifting up (though not really curled.)

Anyway... so many thoughts!
Tomorrow... oh my!

I could have written that myself!! I read a study that just went by CRL measurments and it was 98% accurate with 13 week measurements. Another study did it by LMP measurements and it was less accurate?? Not really sure it tells us anything really lol Hope you are coping ok today, not long till you can put the matter to rest :) That will be a relief in itself hey :) :)
