nub theory angle of the dangle more fixed form 11w+ hence more accurate?

I believe so, yes. Obviously accuracy goes up as you grow but that is the way I read it.

Fetus 10 - 12 weeks - a photo on Flickriver

awhat gender would you make out of this baby or is this what both boys and girls look like....is the crease running from the anal to the tubercule the rostral direction they are talking about? can gender be somewhat determined form this fetus....?

There is neither labia not scrotum so no, cannot tell from that image.

I scheduled mine for 13 + 1 because I wanted a good nub shot and I did get one. My dates were exact because of IVF. I would try for anything in the 13 week range. My potty shot was obvious at that gestation too.

That is what both boys and girls look like.

And even if it wasn't, even if there was some tiny clue to be gleaned, you must realize that the resolution in an ultrasound photo is absolutely nothing like in that photo and you simply can't tell from ultrasound at 10-11 weeks and at 12 only if you're extremely lucky.

that's what i thought.....if both look like this at 11 weeks then it could go eaither way right?....i ust have to bide time now for 2 weeks. i was told by the private scanning company (NHS not doing NT scans at the moment but working on it appearantly!!!) and they told me anywhere between 11.5weeks-13.5weeks. so i will have mine on a saturday 2 weeks from now.YIKES....
i just don;t know what to think....i went through my boy's baby pic's yesterday just to get my head round the idea that i may have another one those little peanuts...:)....it is just i spend so much time for the last 6 years since DS3 obsessing this idea that i wanted girls....when i had my DD it was complete shock...and i felt time went too quickly and i wanted to use my beautiful things for another one and experience it all over again becasue i have to say having a DD was absolutely delightful form baby to todler to now.. that i had forgotten how fun it also was to raise a boy baby as well....i just hope that whatever god gives me now i will just appreciate and enjoy...i just will have to make the extra effort to look and like boy things i suppose to re-introduce myself to loving everything that is blue....i know it will be hard.....and if i am then given a girl at least i know i did my best to prepare and eithe way....i am going to be strong enough to deal with whatever comes my way....who knows if i have a girl i may miss the boy that i thought and may never ever have.....yep there is a reason it takes 9 months!!!!you bloody well need all that time to get round all the ideas of a new addition to your family.....!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Can you amazing people please tell me what you believe i am having? Thank you so much :)

Janda you will get more hits if you start your own thread in the forum.

Looks girl to me but I do not know gestation, if it's early it could still be a boy
