Nakiyasworld - Boy!

3 little ladies- really you think so? What makes you guess that I'm so confused about this method.

[3littleladies]

Because in the transvaginal baby is on the right side and the abdominal the baby is pretty centred so Im going by the top one cause that's real clear.

Are you hoping for a boy?

[Nakiyasworld]

YES! I have 5 girls. But I am not getting my hopes up... I also read that all us images are mirrored. Idk anymore.

[3littleladies]

Oh wow, I really hope this is your boy! Only abdominal u/s's are mirrored!

Had this u/s yesterday at 6 weeks 4 days. Everything was good. Saw the heartbeat. It was trans vaginal. Based off of ramzis theory would this be a boy or a girl?

Sorry I think I explained really badly! Basically, with 100% certainty, I had it confirmed that BOTH transvaginal and abdominal scans are mirror images, not just abdominal.

The reason for the confusion is because both abdominal and transvaginal scans can be done in two different planes/perspectives/views. One is called transverse and is most common, the other is called saggital.

In a transverse view, it is a pure mirror image, with left as right, and right as left.
In saggital view, left is anterior (so the front of your womb) and right is posterior (the back). In a saggital scan it is impossible to determine which side is left and which is right.

Problem is that you can't tell if a scan photo is taken in transverse plane or saggital plane, unless you ask at the time, if that makes sense.

(Unless you know if your placenta is posterior/anterior, and it is on the opposite side to where it should be for a saggital shot, meaning your shot must definitely be transverse) example, If I know my placenta is posterior, then if my scan is saggital it will show the placenta to the right, but my placenta is on the left in my scan pic, so it can't be a saggital shot and must be a transverse shot, meaning I can use ramzi on it because it's a mirror image with left and right.

Wow thanks for that, that explained it better for me, I think I wont be guessing anymore!
