Sneak peek said boy, but girly nub?

I'm starting to long for the days when ultrasounds weren't even a thing, and we just waited to see what we get.

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.

Chiming in here because I totally agree about the ultrasound thing! I was determined to be team green all the way (still am) but for some silly reason decided to post my 12 week ultrasound photo here hoping beyond hope that I would get the “looks like a girl!” comments. 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!!

I had no idea what sneak peak is so googled it, it's not accurate says if you contaminate results it will definitely be false you have to really sterilize the area incase male dna is there easily done if you have any males in the house

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.

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!

I mean this is 100% girlie nub😂 you will definitly have to wait and seex

This was me with boy #3. He had the boy-est of boy nubs at 13 weeks and it totally bummed me out. After that experience, all I wanted with baby #4 was that it just wouldn't be such an obvious boy nub...so I could hold onto hope (and torture myself with guessing, ha!).

I've also seen so many flat white nubs that turn out to be boys. In the end, we just can't be sure.

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!!!

Pink dust, all around! And if it's a boy, we can just learn that when the little bundle is in our arms.

The Potty shot by far the obvious compare to other existing theory. you can miss the burger or the scroturm!!!
