I know it’s too early to guess, but I’m obsessing a bit. I snapped a few photos from the video we took and wondering if there are possibly any clues here or even a nub in these at all? Maybe these are more clear than the original ones I posted? I just don’t know. We used a terrible ultrasound machine lol. Many thanks https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4cece8cb35.jpg

Hi, I am not the best when it comes to ultrasounds but have you tried the groups on Facebook? There seems to be a lot of people to view and may be able to give a better guess [emoji3526] I am unsure of your sway but I would have said boy. All the best

I would have immediately thought boy if that was my ultrasound but maybe it’s too early to tell for sure? But it’s forked so not sure if that definitely means girl...The baby could also have a curved spine making the nub look angled? I don’t know what you swayed so I don’t want to give you hope either way. I do feel like my boys nubs looked kinda girly that early though. With my girls I feel like I just knew it was a girl right away because the nub seemed to angle straight/down almost.Quote:

Because I know how important this is to you, J, I just really want to hold off till I'm sure before I guess. :)
Ok Thank you! I know you said it was too early I just kept watching the video and saw this. It was a terrible ultrasound so I know that doesn’t help. I felt like maybe these were just more clear than the original pics I posted.Quote:

Can fork be either? I thought I read an early nub, at 12 weeks, can look forked for both? Maybe I’m wrongQuote:

Yes they can, I just don’t remember if my boys were split all the way down or just forked at the end. Will you be doing an NIPT to find out?Quote:

No we passed on that. I just didn’t want to pay the money. I’ll have to go back in and look again a little later. In another photo someone mentioned it looked like some stacking but I think that photo may not have been as clear as these. Im not sure. Here’s that photo https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8c3a0d798f.jpg
I know it’s technically too early to know by the nub theory so I probably should just stop like Atomic told me to [emoji23][emoji23][emoji2360][emoji2360] this is our fifth and final so I’m just hoping after a “failed” sway and then not getting to try again the last two that maybe this will be our finale baby in the gender I’m [emoji1317] for [emoji23][emoji23]
In the 11 week range my babies’ nubs were obvious and clear, which is not that common, but the tech in my perinatology clinic always makes a point of looking For a clear shot for her own reasons (she likes to keep stats on if she guesses correctly). My boys all looked like they had a party hat for a nub and my girls had a pretty straight line. If they don’t specifically try for a clear nub at the right angles, it’s really hard to tell what is what. At my scan yesterday (12w5d with babies measuring 13w0d) the nubs were very clear and angling down, so she said I might be able to get a good potty shot and spent a few minutes each baby looking as well. Three parallel likes with the middle line slightly shorter for both babies and perfectly flat/in line with the curve between the legs with no bulge at all. She said combined with the nubs and potty shots she was pretty confident in saying girls (but wouldn’t say that until I stated my opinion first) and then when I saw the doctor after he said the blood test didn’t detect any Y chromosomes and gave a 90% chance both were girls.
Unfortunately, none of your pics have clear or complete nubs to guess on. You’ll either need to get another scan in a few weeks (15+), get a blood test, or wait until your anatomy scan. It sucks to have to wait, but it’s better to get a reliable answer a bit later on than it is to get wrong guesses to either give you false hope or unnecessary disappointment.
