I haven't spoken to anyone about this and genuinely keeping positive and trying to stay happy but at my 20 week scan i could see blue bits (i think) so when i asked is it a boy? She simply said yes... quickly glimpse into the area for a few seconds and that was that... she wouldn't have told us if i hadn't asked.

Could she be wrong?

I was so adamant i was having a girl, my gut said girl. Gender nub "experts" all said girl...
Im so gutted. I have 2 amazing boys at home but really wanted a little pink bundle this time...
Im genuinely so down and not about the baby because I do genuinely feel a lot of love for him already but this is my last pregnancy due to having a 3rd c section. Wouldn't push for a 4th...

I hate this feeling of knowing ill never have a daughter. Breaks my heart. Not sure how long i can keep this happy face

Yes it's possible the tech is wrong, especially if she just glanced in that area. Techs are people too and can make mistakes. Would you be able to get a gender scan somewhere? Maybe then you'd be able to get a better look at baby. I'm sorry you're in this in between of not knowing for sure. FX it's your girl!

Yes, they can be wrong but the Gender Experts are wrong quite often as well.

I'm afraid feelings don't predict gender in any reliable way.

Is there any way you can post pics for us to see?
