I hate them kind of techs! Miserable jobsworths trouts!! Of course we know its about health but it wont hurt them to crack a smile would it!!!:bigsmile: Your scan is gonna be about midnight uk time then, thanks for that lol!!! Strong coffee it will be then:bigsmile:
haha elp I don't mind if you go to bed and check in the morning! I wouldn't blame you. But I am guilty of waiting up for people to post news too!!
Meeks I know exactly how you feel, desperate for hope but knowing its best to accept boy now to spare yourself this all over again at 20weeks.
I have to say though, if I'd not seen the nub of mine, and only the potty shot like you describe, I'd still have plenty of hope. That google image you posted looks really ambiguous to me, because there are two long bits with a shorter bit in the middle, which to me could easily be two swollen flaps with a little clitoris in the middle. Mine was two small bits with a longer one in the middle, much more like boy bits. You saying that your long bit was even longer than that just confirms to me that it was probably the nub you were looking at so there is still every chance for pink for you. If you look at the sticky post called something like "read this before your NT scan", there are some really interesting photos of girl and boy bits at this stage and they are so similar, you can see how it cannot possibly be 100% to guess from a potty shot at this stage.
I just wish I'd not seen my nub because then I'd still have a few more weeks of blissful ignorance.
Good luck for the NT scan!

see thats the thing, there was no 3 bits at all, just one long skinny bit. maybe it was just the nub... i would have thought my ob would have enough experience by now that he would know that though. but then none of them pay much attention to early gender studies do they?
I can't wait for your 20w scan. I agree I was super positive until I saw the nub and now wish I hadn't seen it until it is at a more reliable gestation. How you described feeling in that first sentence is right on.
Hoping you see a girly nub when you go back for your NT scan :)
Just read some studies that perhaps I shouldn't have, stating that only like 5% of foetus's assessed as being male at 11 weeks turned out to be female. Where something like 50% of ones assessed as female ended up being male. Basically its hugely unlikely for a boy to turn into a girl, at 11 weeks, and even less likely later on. Sigh. Need to stop reading!
I am pretty sure a long, flat girl nub would look like that from underneath ;) I wouldn't put stock in any potty shot before 15 weeks. The hormones just aren't there yet for genital formation (at 11 weeks).
And I have to add, theres always the possibility of cord, especially if the line was pretty big, unless DH is a chippendale of course lol!!!:bigsmile:
LOL ELP!! Yes, indeed!!! LOL!!!
sure looks like a boy!
