Ultrasound Tech's or anyone experienced, gender guesses please :)

[lovemy4]

Girl for sure!!! (I commented on in-gender as well).

Thank you lovemy4! I replied on in-gender but I was wondering what you meant by a boy "nub" at 15 weeks looks like a turtle or snail? Is that in a profile shot? I have a hard time picturing that any pictures to compare this look? Thank you again for everything

[lovemy4]

Yes, it would be in a profile shot. I'll see if I can find an example to show you.

This is a later shot at 20 weeks but see how it looks snail-ish? I'll keep looking for a 15 week example but it would be similar or appear "stacked" as 2 bumps.

Ok I think I see what you are saying. I added a second image to show you what I believe you are explaining. As you can tell this is my first pregnancy and i'm probably asking stupid questions! Again thank you for helping me. If you do come across a 15 week profile please let me know.

[lovemy4]

Yes, that is the scrotum and the other arrow that was already on the image is pointing to the penis.

[hellokittyrn4]

Ok thank you so much I finally see it!! So at 15 weeks would the penis be vertical or is it still valid to measure it against the spine?

[lovemy4]

At 15 weeks you wouldn't measure the angle of a boy anymore--it just wouldn't be necessary as it is VERY different from a side shot of a girl. Only inexperienced guessers would get them confused. Hope that helps

I remember a lady on in-gender some while ago. They told her boy by her 15 week u/s but charliecats (the tech on there) told her girl. She had a potty shot that was confusing and her side shots looked just like yours!! She had a girl!

Thank you Lovemy4 and wilma_5! I will keep everyone updated when I go for my next scan not until the 3rd week of May I'll be around 19 weeks at that point so hopefully no confusion down there
