Hi all -
I know Sneak Peek is not always accurate, but it told me boy. The image is from my NT scan (12w3d); it looks girly to me and unlike my boys (except for their early scans at like 11 weeks).
I did have someone say the top looks girly, but that bottom is pointing up to indicate boy.
Anyway, would love your thoughts.
Thanks!
it's a great nub shot. I am definitely not an expert in nub theory but I thought a stacked nub is a boy nub, could be wrong and I hope so if you are wanting your girl. good luck
Yeah, I'm not really seeing stacking though? I wish I could find a way to post my last boy's photo. It was super obvious, lolQuote:

That is a girl. I wpuld almost buy pink with this shot! My only hesitation is that it's not closer to 13 weeks so there's still a possibility of it rising but I definitely does not look like it is!
I literally prayed before this U/S: "God, I don't need to know that it's a girl, I just need a shred of hope." Well...He gave it to me. :)Quote:

Sneak Peek is not reliable but a 12 w 3 d nub is also not reliable. 50-50 from me.
they give a lot of bad replies, too, though. People have been crushed by things people told them in that group.Quote:

So the consensus is: looks girly, but could still rise. And don't trust Sneak Peek. The mystery continues!Quote:

In my short, but intense [emoji1787] experience... a video of the scan shows much more certainty than a single shot... I’ve seen friend’s 12 week scans which show parallel & forking and the next second there’s stacking.
That why doctors study these live scans with such detail and not only a single shot.
Good luck...!

I'm starting to long for the days when ultrasounds weren't even a thing, and we just waited to see what we get. :D
But I hear you. I did watch the live scan a bit and couldn't see stacking, BUT, I've also seen the really girly nubs that turn out to be boys. And, with the Sneak Peek result, it truly does put me back in the 50/50 category.
Any chance you remember who that was?Quote:

Just for reference, or for fun... here are my NT scans at 12.3 days exactly (both of them)
My boy: - actually this was a few days before, sorry

On second glance I do think yours is girlier looking than the nub in the pic from the link. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

I should've just not done it. My next scan is 20 weeks, but we're staying team green (officially). Un-officially, I'm looking for clues wherever I can. :)
I can definitely see though why people leaned pink. Thank you for all the fingers crossed!Quote:

Also, Coralsky and (I think) californiadreaming had nubs that looked girl LATE into the 13th week that were both boys. I was SHOCKED by both of those and it strengthened my resolve that it's a tentative thing even till the confirmation shot.Quote:

Creates SO much despair for people (either they have false hope and are then really set up for a fall, or they get really sad for no reason) it is just not worth it! There is no FUN in it at all, it's just hurtful for 85% of people.Quote:

Very thought provoking. Makes me want to go team green next time even more.Quote:

That's my reasoning for going team green. I've never felt one iota of disappointment when they've been put in my arms.Quote:

I agree and you're welcome to use me as a case study. :) The SP results totally brought me down. Like down down. So my desperate request from the Lord above was just to give me SOME hope with this ultrasound, to even me back out. Bring me back to the 50/50 place I was before. And it did. I feel somehow more at peace, even it does end up being a boy in the delivery room. Had the u/s shown me a boy, I'd have been out. No hope.Quote:

As a general rule I do like anyone who's got a preference to find out in advance, for this very reason. Some women have practically had nervous breakdowns (and a few people, there was no practically about it) but I suspect many of them had talked themselves into being convinced it was a "whatever their desired gender was". Some of the worst people had been told by ultrasound techs or by believing symptoms/OWT that it HAD TO be a "whatever" and that's one of my hugest fears wtih the Sneak Peek, is people going in to deliver being 100% convinced their baby is one gender only to find out it's another.Quote:

Being pregnant is not so fun for 90% of us, and then we get handed an ultrasound and hear "bad" news and have to sit there for another 5 months...yeah. That's rough. so as long as you know in your heart and mind and gut it can be either a boy or a girl, then Team Green is doable but anyone who thinks they're gonna take it really hard may want to reconsider.
I will say after giving birth to my daughter the nurse jokingly said "She's still a girl" and even as immersed in all this as I am, I had not given a moment of thought to gender for the entire labor, birth, as they cleared out her lungs, etc (she had the cord around her neck, so a little hectic right at the end there). I had totally forgotten I even had a preference, I just wanted the baby to be healthy and to see it and I was enourmously glad it was over with nothing really bad happening. So I can testify that in the delivery room, at least for me, it didn't matter any more.
Thank you for sharing that. That's really all it comes down to.Quote:

Though it wasn’t even a full 12 weeks, the nub does seem angled already and I’ve been really feeling like it’s a boy so when all the comments came in pretty much saying boy, I was so devastated. Since then, I’ve been researching “how often is nub theory wrong” and since it can be, I’m just trying to convince myself that it truly is 50:50 until the little one comes out. But it’s almost as if my fears have been confirmed even though at barely 12 weeks, it’s not a for sure either way. It’s auch a mind warp!!Quote:

Yeah - I thought I cleaned it pretty well. So now I have two 'not always accurate' theories telling me opposite answers. I think I truly was meant to wait until the baby is here, because everything else is just stressing me out! I also just saw another girl on another forum say Sneak Peek sent her a boy result, then hours later, a girl result. She called and they had no explanation.Quote:

Exactly, it really is up on the air until the end. I read an interesting blog somewhere by a sonographer saying that since this theory came out, she privately followed many of her friends, co-workers and patients and even she was wrong half of the time. She went on to say that if it was really that easy to tell based on nubs then it would be widely accepted and used by the medical community but because there are so many “clear” nubs that turn out different, they just can’t rely on the theory until much later in the pregnancy. I love that logic and decided to adopt it and believe that angled or not, it’s not a boy until it’s in my arms. Until then, I will continue dreaming pink!!!Quote:
