I know nothing about nubs. Why is it that nothing down below would indicate a boy? I (in my obvious nub ignorance) would have thought the opposite. I've been trying to work it out looking at the ultrasound threads & can't find any clues as to why people guess strongly boy or girl on early ultrasounds.
There is a thread that teaches you but I read this and was still clueless!!
Primal I too am a bit useless!! I read up a bit just to look for clues at scan but to be honest I was so blown away just by the scan I didn't really care!! Long flat is girly and angled up predicts a boy. Both are really guesses especially before 13 weeks someone else might have a better definition!! X

Congrats on ur ultrasound kitkat. Ill try 2 take a guess at what ur having. :) how r all u other ladies doing?? Anything exciting coming up? :)
I actually have gotten pretty decent at guessing nubs. I enjoy it. I just learned from reading and then lurking around to see what some of the experienced guessers were seeing and managed to learn how to look for what I needed to see. I stink at reading my own, since I think there is a level of denial (no matter what, really) that goes into your own scan. And I never could rely on watching the screen for the nub. I never saw it once on either scan when I knew about nubs. But when I went back and looked at the video, I saw a nub on each baby. One was a girl (my daughter) and this baby was not ideally situated, but I am fairly certain it's a boy. Nub was boyish. I tried to deny it, but I am still pretty sure. And I am good with it. A little sad, and really, the reason is because of the swaying. I had a fairly decent sway and its like "well, wow...if that didn't produce a girl, what will??" Lol. But we won't know for sure until March. However, ill be four shades of shocked if it comes out a girl.
I did have a short scan the other day. Baby looked good, it was non-medical. The tech (who has seen me through all of my pregnancies) pulled me back to test out her newly hooked-up printer (for the 3D scans). She wanted to do a sneak peak at gender, since she knew I was 16 weeks, but obviously I told her we didn't want to know. She said she could easily tell what baby was. Which obviously also makes me think boy. But she was only in 3D and I have no idea what she was seeing. Lol. We got a pretty cute alien picture of baby. Looks like an active one. Heartbeat was 160 and my weight gain finally slowed down (whew, I was getting worried!). My anatomy scan is scheduled for Oct 30th at 20+3. I am hoping all looks good with baby! And normally that would be the hardest scan for a team green, but I tend to get a couple more scans later down the road because of the clotting issue I have...so I will have many opportunities to slip or ask. Haha. But I won't.
After all the nub talk yesterday I went off on a GD forum & Google frenzy & think I've worked it out. I'll definitely be having a good look in our scan, whenever it is. I am really struggling with nausea. It is making every day miserable. It's been particularly bad this weekend, we have a public holiday on Monday but I've put in to do overtime. Ugh. I'm really regretting it but we need the money & my husband doesn't get overtime opportunities in his work. Hotdogz that does sound like a little boy you've got in there, although heart rate is definitely girl territory. I'm not sure how accurate heart rate is but I looked up mine from the 6 week scan & mine fell into the pink rate for average gestation (115) which gave me a little hope. I actually need to stop looking at all the old wives tales etc because I don't WANT to be hopeful, the more hopeful I am for pink the more likely I will be disappointed when I hear blue. Frustrating. Doesn't help that my friends & family keep saying they've "got a feeling" it's a girl, which logically means nothing but does start me wistfully thinking "what if...?" My husband is also convinced it is pink, he has even started crocheting a pink blanket & has crocheted a pair of pink sandals (we live in the tropics so booties are completely impractical even in "winter"). Here's a photo of them for your giggling pleasure. :)

O my goodness Primalmamma!! They are so stinkin cute!! And the fact your DH made them makes it even better;)
I feel you on the ,"it's gonna be your girl"comments. It happened a lot with ds3. It is the reason why my pregnancy won't be announced until I know the gender. Let's hope I can keep my weight under control!!! I have hit the 6 week mark and have not felt to terrible bad yet. It comes and goes. Hoping it stays that way but I know there is still time for it to kick in full force. Right now I am having more lower back pain then anything else.
Hope everyone is feeling well!!!
Oh and KitKat you must be super pleased with your little ones nub!!!! It looks soooo girly;)
Very Nice!!!! I'm Nitting myself and will be sewing. Would have loved it if dh would do something like that!
But hè makes in my order stuf for the rooms (or paint walls) and designs the card! (I make the photo's)
Fingers crossed you all get your DG too
QueenB & Kitkat what have I missed? Where is Kitkat's Ultrasound photo with the girlie nub I can't see it!!!
