I am thrilled to pieces you heard girl, I think some posters are just suggesting caution because we have seen other people be told X or Y at 14/15 weeks (sometimes even more) and then find out later they were having an opposite. If you had a pic if would obviously help us reassure you that it is indeed a girl (as I'm sure it is!). I think the poster worded her post wrongly, I don't think she meant it to sound patronising (and I did think it came across that way). I think we just all feel for you so strongly and know how much you have gone through that we don't want you to go through any more heartache, and that is why we are just being a bit cautious.
Of course you must look at girl clothes! 80% is a high percentage and your tech was sure enough to tell you! I think people are just wary remembering past ultrasound mistakes and that is why they are suggesting waiting until further confirmation. I hope you haven't been upset by it.
