This is my story. My husband and I decided we wanted to do a gender reveal at our 20 week ultra sound. The tech had a student and seemed very distracted. The scan was very quick...and I looked very closely to see if I could spot gender. Since we had asked her to write the gender on paper so we could open it privately she didn't show us "the goods" at least to our knowledge. So she took a very clear potty shot doing femur measurements...very clear...both my husband and I saw NOTHING at all in between the legs...no protrusion at all. We have a boy and found out with our first and was shown a penis in between the legs. After the potty shot I asked "Just out of curiousity...do you know the gender...and she says "I THINK I know what it is." After the scan, she was just said "have a nice day, and forgot my husband and I wanted to know the gender...we had to remind her. SO she writes down on a piece of paper and my husband and I go out to the car to read "BOY". We were kind of surprised but are excited and have been buying blue and decorating for a boy. Fast forward to 26 weeks later...I decided to ask the OB Dr I saw to review my scan to confirm the gender...and after some long sorting through pics...he says "There is no scrotum visible or boy parts, so 50,50. I am so confused now...I know he must of saw the same shots my husband and I saw at the live scan which showed nothing between the legs. How certain would you all be after this experience. I should say my scan was at 19 weeks and 1 day..but baby was almost measuring 21 weeks. Please help!!!

I am starting to wonder....can you ever tell gender from a femur shot?!?!?!?!

Well, you have to get another scan. There is absolutely no way to know for sure based on what you typed.

I am hoping I can get a pic from my OB, but my hospital where our scan was done refused as they said they deleted the photos due to multiple scans. I'm just curious as to whether I should trust the tech over the OB Dr or not..

Hard to say based on this. You know what you saw and without pictures we can't really say. If you think you saw nothing and the doc says the same that's one way to go. If it were me, I usually go with the doc over the tech but so hard to say in your case who was right! If you have any profile scans from earlier times someone may be able to give you a better guess.

Thank you Nari..it is just hard for me to believe that she made a mistake I guess? I don't know. But I trust the OB didn't see any indication in the photos...I can upload a photo...profile shot...but I am not sure it has any clues. That was another thing... we didn't get a photo showing boy parts either. But maybe someone could make something out from this shot...thanks for your advice.

Sorry, this is where babe was measuring almost 21 weeks.

I had something similar happen. I've asked my ob for a referral to have another scan. Can't see from scan attached 😞

Hi there Bub3, what a ridiculous thing eh? You have two professions telling you different things. Unfortunately, my OB told me I wont be having any further scans unless i have complications with the pregnancy. With Xmas coming, money is tight so I guess I stay on team green...I am having a C section Feb 4th. I do see 5 different OB's so will ask on Dec 2nd another Dr's opinion of the pics and see what they say..I will also try to get the potty shot pic if they can print it off.

It sucks. My scan took a total of 5 min after paying all that money I was pretty pissed... It's pretty bad they're supposed to be 'experts' I don't doubt my ob but the sonographer was terrible.
It sucks your dr won't give you another referral. I complained about the sonographer and my dr recommended another scan. Do you have the scan on cd?
