Can anyone point up where the nub is in these pics? 13w 4d NT scan

I posted these pics in a few other forums and got mostly boy leans but some girl ones as well. When I asked if they were basing their guess off of the skull shape or if they can point out the nub to me, nobody replies! Except one lady said her intuition was that it was a girl. Which doesn't give me much hope lol. Ramzi and skull theory seem to point to boy. And even though I didn't get a pic of the potty shot, it looked like a triangle down there so I'm thinking this is a boy. Which will make our 4th boy and last child so I'm feeling a bit gutted and wishing I would have pushed a little harder to convince my husband to go high-tech. I just took my NIPT so we'll find out soon enough. Any guesses are appreciated either way! Let me know if you see a nub!

Oops the title should say "point out" but I can't edit it. Also, the first and 3rd pic are the same, not sure why they uploaded twice.

Potty shots are not accurate at 13 weeks.

For a lot of people, guessing ultrasounds is something they do for fun. They do it based on things like intuition. So you can't really read too much into that. Skull and Ramzi are not reliable (I have seen several people send Dr. Ramzi himself money to guess their ultrasounds and he guessed WRONG) so also not reliable.

I can completely see this being a girl. The nub is long and flatter, though in the one pic it's slightly turned up at the end, at this stage of gestation we'd expect it to be way more on the upswing if it was a boy. You aren't out of the chase yet!

Thank you! I guess I knew those weren't reliable, I just feel like nothing has pointed to this being a girl. Is it possible to point out where the nub is in these photos? I keep staring at these and I don't see it!

Coming out of the baby's bum are some things that look like a tuning fork. One of them, the top one, I believe to be the leg bone (you can see on the second pic that the leg is right there) but the lower one looks like a girly nub to me. you can see how it extends inside and is straight. No guarantees but that looks more pink to me, given the gestation.

Ah I think I see it! Thank you for pointing it out!

ATOMIC!!! My NIPT results came back yesterday and they show GIRL! However the fetal fraction was only 5.8% so I'm not sure I feel confident that it's accurate. It was the Natera Panorama and I know those have the highest accuracy for the fetal gender determination though. I'm tempted to get an elective ultrasound just so I can believe that this is true without having to wait for the anatomy scan.

If the fetal fraction wasn't enough they would have given you an inconclusive reading. If they told you girl, it is a GIRL!!! Huge congrats YB!!!

Having an ultrasound is fine but keep in mind that ultrasounds are very much inferior to the NIPT (for all the reasons apparent in this thread, people said this baby was a boy!)

Ok, yaaaayyyy!!! I feel like I'm just not going to believe it until the baby is here!!!

I ended up going for the elective ultrasound, I just knew I would feel better if that matched the panorama (because you know, a 99.9% accuracy rate isn't good enough :D) and there were girl parts!!! Yay! I can go shopping now! :HH:

Congrats!! Happy shopping! My dr only told me that the NIPT results all came back great and nothing to worry about but did not disclose the gender. You think she have visibility to the gender and just not tell me for her own reasons?

I think you have to specifically request the gender to be included when you do the test and then ask for it when you hear the results. At least that was the case with me.

Doctors really don't think about us as much as we think about them LOL. She probably forgot or like others were saying, perhaps you didn't request it at the time of the test. i'd just call her and find out.

But no, there is NO WAY she secretly knew the gender and did not tell you because she thought you couldn't handle it or anything.
