If the MFM Dr said

[Tulips]

Update, the sonographer at the 13wk6d scan said he is about 96% certain they are both boys, but both very healthy looking and very active. I am a little sad to never have a girl but boy/boy twins are the rarest type and that is special in itself. I would share pictures but in many ways I don't want it confirmed though that may sound odd.

Adding the only photo's I got, I don't think they show a thing

I had a scan at 12+2 Babies were measuring 12+1 & 12+3, the scan was done by the high risk fetal medicine Dr and he said, do you want to know what you are having I'm pretty sure they are both boys. I'm fairly sure he was basing it on the potty shots though. Would you put much stock in this?

I am having another scan next week with a very experienced Sonographer who has a very good reputation for getting 13 week guesses correct however until then I keep having it in my head that these are boys 4 & 5!

I have been sure all along that one of them is a boy and think I saw a boyish nub on one but it was so hard to focus as I was there thinking we would have to do a CVS due to being high risk and the scan was an indepth one to check every part of both babies to see if we really needed to do the CVS luckily they came back low risk and we opted not to take the risk of the CVS as the placentas were not in optimal position.

Any thoughts? He also had a very experienced sonographer standing over his shoulder who didn't say a thing when he said I think they are both boys. I looked at him for confirmation as I exclaimed 5 boys but he didn't give me any indication that he thought that was right or wrong so I decided he must agree as surely he would have said if he thought it was wrong as I sounded so 'shocked'

I cant be of any help Im afraid but just think how awsome twins will be even if they are both boys - they will b the best of friends :-)
I hope you get your confirmation next week. I think its still very early and even the highliest trained people can get things wrong but i would like to think he wouldnt have asked if you wanted to know if he wasnt confident in giving you an accurate answer ?

It's hard to say without seeing images. He may have seen it in profile and potty shot.

This time I'm not so worried about gender, it's more all the comments! I just want to know.

I do think he was quite cocky and he had only just sat his sonography exam which is why the sonographer was standing at his shoulder.

I'm finding that the u/s techs are pretty familiar with nub theory these days. Not all of them hazzard a guess though. CONGRATS on your twins btw, how awesome is that?

[lovemy4]

If he was relatively new (like it sounds) then I'd take his opinion with a grain of salt. Congrats on your twins, btw :)

In this case i think the sonographer would have corrected him then and there with an explination of why he was wrong.

Oh well, 5 boys looking more likely. I think the sonographer told him off for guessing the sex as it wasn't meant to be that type of scan.

Or maybe he saved that conversation for behind closed doors? My DH wouldn't agree or disagree in a situation like that, either. He'd focus on the health of the babies and tell newbie off for speaking of other things. :) Just my $2. GL!!! Twins! How awesome!!

[spinningmadly]

my mfm dr was totally wrong about the sex. the tech was right.

[Tulips]

I do think he based on potty shots as I said are you sure and he said pretty sure it's very busy down there. Oh well, another chance for a good guess next Monday. I am fairly sure one of them is a boy as I think I saw one boy nub.

[Wanting-a-girl]

U don't have any pics?

[Tulips]

It was a purely medical scan so they weren't going to give me any but I asked and they gave me one of each baby, I don't think they show anything but I've added them to the first post.

[Tulips]

Nothing to see in the pics?

[Yahmama]

I don't see nubs in either pic...

[lovemy4]

Sadly, no nubs in the images :(

[Tulips]

update, he sonographer said 96% certain it's two boys. It was a little tricky as one of the babies had the cord between his legs and the other would not stay still but I am pretty sure we saw two boy nubs. I did see some similar looking ones to twin 2 in the confirmed girl pics but I am not holding out hope as he is very experienced. I am a little sad I will never have a daughter but pleased they are very healthy. I don't want to post pics as I don't want to hear lots of 'definite boy' comments but I do trust the sonographer.
