Gender revelation at 15 weeks?

My husband and I went to an ultrasound zone in our area when I was 15 weeks & 3 days and they said they are 100% we are having a girl. I’ve heard 4 stories now, where the doctor (not someone at an ultrasound place) told them around 20-22 they were having a boy/girl and they had the opposite.

 

Has anyone else experienced this or know the likelihood that we are actually having a girl?

It can be very easy to get it wrong that early, but if you have a good tech, it's completely possible. We were told boys at 15w 2d, and they've still had penises at every ultrasound since ;)

15 weeks is iffy for guessing gender.  Usually, if they guess boy it's more likely to be an accurate guess.  If they guess girl, there is a chance it may not be correct because the boy parts can still look like girl parts at that point.  If the tech guessed based on seeing actual girl parts instead of guessing based on the absence of boy parts, it more likely to be correct.  We got a boy guess at 15 weeks, but it still looks an awful lot like a female u/s.  I'm waiting until my a/s at 21 weeks for confirmation before spending a lot of money and time preparing for a boy.  With DD, it was very clear at 16 weeks that she was all girl.

We have an ultrasound picture with the "3 lines". But when she was doing the ultrasound, she said "There are the legs..." and my husband and I both thought it was a boy until she said "As you can see, there is nothing between them." But we both thought something was there, although we are first time parents and never saw an ultrasound before.

I would not go anywhere that early on and expect it to be right. I would leave and they'd have my money and I'd be just as curious second guessing them than as if I'd never had the u/s and all.

We were told boy at the Dr's office at 18w with Ds.

We were told boy at 17w at an elective ultrasound place. We were told GIRL at 20w at our anatomy scan! We go again this weekend for a 3rd opinion :)

I found out at 14.5 weeks that it was a boy. In our 3D ultrasound pictures you can see clearly see the scrotum. We were able to get a view looking up at the bottom so I also think it depends on the baby's position.

It seems pretty common that they change the gender. Good luck at your appointment this weekend! Hopefully, it will be clear! :)

Revelation huh?  Sounds pretty intense. Depends on the quality of the machine and the tech, TBH. 15 weeks is early to be "100%" certain.

Oh, wow! This could be us! We go sometime in December for our anatomy U/S. I will be 20-21 weeks the first week of December. Maybe I should schedule it for the middle of December just to be sure?

It's much more likely to be wrong if you are told "girl" early on.  I would not go out and buy any pink yet.  Wait for your anatomy scan in a few weeks.

Thanks everyone for all of your input! I am going to try to schedule our anatomy scan when I am 22-23 weeks along so we can be sure.

I think you are just fine to do 20 weeks, 15/16ish is just a little early.

Not sure that 15 weeks is safe for gender determination. I think things are totally developed at 18...so I don't know. 

Its strange to see that some places are saying that you 100% have a girl or boy. My U/S tech told me they weren't allowed to say they were 100% sure for legal reasons. Of course, I live in Canada, the land where everything is different. :)

I went to an elective ultrasounds place at 15 weeks 3 days as well. They predicted it was a girl and they were right.
