11 week potty shot, right or wrong for you?

[meeks32]

Well I had my 11 week appointment (11 weeks on the dot) with my fantastic obstetrician today and told him we will find out gender ASAP. He gave me a scan and looked down there, while commenting that the NT scan place at 12 weeks was having amazing success determining gender and I could probably find out then. He lined up a potty shot angle and immediately when he and I saw the screen we looked at eachother, I said "I saw that" and he laughed, and asked what I thought that was, I said "it's a boy isn't it?" And he said "I'm almost certain, it's early, but I don't see that turning into a vagina" It was literally a penis length bit sticking out between the legs. I'm 99% sure it wasn't cord because of the way it ended and where it was.

I didn't ask for a nub shot because I had no doubt. But now at home I'm desperate to convince myself it could be wrong! I thought at 11 weeks it couldn't even BE a penis but it seriously looked like one. I know all about nub theory and how potty shots at 11 weeks can be wrong, but did anyone see a big long thing between the legs and seriously have it turn out to be a girl?

I got no pic of it but found a similar one on Google to what I saw. It was like this but even longer. So not just a bulge, but a long skinny doodle looking thing:

If it looked like that I would say boy, my girl at 11 weeks looked totally different

Aww Meeks...
I think if you're not used to looking for the differences in gender, they all look like boys...especially at 11 weeks. The tech who did my scan didnt even look at a potty shot. Swollen girly parts can definitely look boyish.
Honestly, I dont think you know any more about the gender now than you did before you went in there..
I'm still holding out hope for a girl...
Though I know regardless, this baby is VERY lucky & will be loved more than anything!!!

Thanks Beadin, I can't shake the fear though. Obviously I will love this little bub be it boy or girl but I invested sooooo much time and effort into my girl sway I just really wanted the chance to experience the results. Intelligender said boy for me too, which I know can be crap but I feel like the odds are stacking up.

I tell you what, if this is boy number 3, he REALLY wanted to be born, because 3rd round of clomid, 18 months TTC and LE diet was a pretty big obstacle for him to overcome.

You are absolutely right!!!
He must've known how amazing your family was and fought hard to be s part of it... <3

This isn't mine, but my daughters looked just like this and if you google 11 week potty shot they are all extremely similar and most are different sexes so its really hard to tell at 11 weeks

I think its too early I had a shot like that too with my third DD and I was convinced she was a boy!

I was 13 weeks.

Omg thanks for the hope ladies. This gets me through until I'm far enough along to find out with more certainty.

Honestly i think if they think 14 weeks is too early for a potty shot, theres no way theyd be able to tell at 11weeks. Try to forget what you saw xxxx
