Please help! Is this Boy #5? Ultrasound shots 15w+4d

I have 4 sons already, no daughters. I'm 16+ weeks along with #5. I went in for an ultrasound at 15+4 days. I wasn't surprised when the tech said "BOY" and typed it on the photos and printed them out. But as she kept looking, she said she was unsure and couldn't say for certain because it was too early and that during this stage of development, girl parts can be very swollen...enough to look like a penis. With all of my other boys, we found out at 14-15 weeks with zero doubt. They were very obviously boys. This is the first time I've dealt with an uncertain scan and I'm freaking out. I have 9 friends who are pregnant with girls, and 2 of them said they were told BOY until much later in the pregnancy. When we were looking at the parts on the screen, the penis wasn't standing up and sticking out like it was in the others, it was kind of pointed downwards and weird looking. I can't really tell what I'm looking at here, but I have 2 shots that say "BOY" and one profile shot for a possible skull theory prediction. I assume the shots that say "boy" are right beside the parts to look at. The tech just kept saying she couldn't really tell for sure, but it is "most likely" a boy. I was just hoping for some other expert opinions, if possible.

Second piccie, I can see a potty shot and it does look boy hun. Sorry, it must of been incredibly hard for you to hear 'boy'. xx

Second pic. is a boy. Congrats on our cute little edition. My fifth boy is such an amazing individual.

I thought so, too. I still think it's a boy. One of my friends sent me a pic that looked exactly like this, and she was told boy up until the 24th week. Turned out a girl. I guess I just have my hopes up until it's confirmed. My husband isn't convinced after watching the ultrasound on screen, it was way different from the other boys.

Did you happen to get a video you could upload to youtube and paste here?

I didn't get a video :( My husband is convinced that it was just too early and he still has hope. I have none, I'm so used to having boys that I never expected them to say girl, anyways. I never even expected them to say they aren't sure. We were SO sure with the others, and this makes me worry because if that is a penis, it sure is funny looking :/

I think sometimes we forget that the techs are people too and sometimes I think they get caught up in wanting to give us hope that they sugar coat it a little bit too much.

I am hopeless at ultrasounds but my experience has been by 16 weeks if they say boy it probably is. Good luck.

the second pic looks boy to me but I hope I'm wrong.

is 15+4 reliable ?

In my experience, yes!!! I've had all of my elective u/s at 15 weeks. All were correct.
