No, please don't drive yourselves bankrupt, you'll need the money for cute girl stuff :) Bobster, I've heard quite a few stories now how a tech was absolutely able to determine girl after just seconds and I'd say you can trust her opinion. She probably just mentioned keeping the receipts as a safety net type of comment, to cover all her bases. And I assume she wasn't aware of your major gender desire so she had no idea this comment will cause you sleepless nights! If she had, I'm sure she wouldn't have said that or at least would have worded it differently!
My next scan is next week and I catch myself 10, 20 times a day fantasizing about seeing the famous 3 lines and hearing "look, it's a girl". It's TOXIC. It's a nightmare. I KNOW it's a boy. And I'm so, so ready to hear "boy" - although of course I don't WANT to hear it and will be absolutely crushed!!! - and finally move on from this horrible gender desire and disappointment.
Of course this also means that this is the last week of my life that I'm able to dream about having a daughter. Next week at the scan, I'll have to face the fact that I will have to live without one, and I'll never be able to go back. I guess the real grieving process won't start until then. At least I'm as prepared as any woman could be!
Usually any-time after 14weeks we can tell with pretty high accuracy (probably 80-85% accuracy) but after 16weeks I would say it's almost 100%, so I would definitley trust it, especially if it was confirmed at 20weeks!
Some of my coworkers are like that too and tell people "keep your receipts" or "just remember nothing is 100% certain until birth" because they want to cover themselves in that rare case that they could be wrong, but if it was confirmed at 2 different scans I would definitely feel pretty confident about it (though after swaying I can totally understand why it's hard to believe you are getting the gender you hoped for!!).
Yes, it makes it harder working in ultrasound because I want to peek in on baby all the time, but I promised my husband I wouldn't do that so we could see and find out the gender together at my 20week doctor's appointment (which is this afternoon, EEK!, I am so anxious)!
Oh my god summer good luck! Let us know ASAP!!!
Thanks welcome. I already booked a repeat scan for Saturday but i promise it will be the last money I spend on gender determination. I wish I’d read these messages before yesterday. That’s so reassuring summer thank you. I am just fearing the worst outcome all the time because of the years of desire and disbelief that it would actually happen. I’m still calling baby ‘it’ or ‘baby’. So scared of the disappointment if it was wrong.
Welcome it’s so hard. I really have everything crossed that you hear girl but if you don’t then your boy will be so worth the heart ache as he will be meant to be. I think finding out is better than tormenting yourself with the what if’s, although it’s really tough if it doesn’t go the way you hope.
OMG Ya'll, It's a girl!!! :)

Knew it!!!! Your nub was too girly to be anything other than a girl!! This is amazing news congrats so much summer :)
Congratulations Summer. So happy for you and yout hubby !
And well done not peeking and waiting!
Had my third confirmation today and now I finally believe it. Saw the burger in the scan but the sonographer didn’t capture it in the picture. She checked all angles and no penis in sight. Can finally say ‘her’!!!!
Mrs sparkles I bought quite a lot of clothes and went shopping after this scan to buy some more little bits. I think you should believe summer and buy some stuff. Will you go for another scan or wait it out until D day?
I’m undecided on a name but quite like Lily, Sophie or Holly so far. Have you got a name yet? My top little boys names were Rueben or Walter.
