Yep. Guessed boy and that's what we had. She said it wasn't a sure thing, but described that there's basically a "protrusion" (no idea what she actually called it) that around that time starts to either retract and turn into a vagina or stays and turns into a penis. Since it hadn't retracted, she guessed boy.
They said boy and I remember when we went to our 2nd scan. The tech asked if we had found out, we said yes, and she said "O.k., let's go make sure no parts fell off". LOL.
yes, they guessed boy and I had a boy. yes, they guessed girl and I had a girl. no, they guessed boy and I had a girl. no, they guessed girl and I had a boy. SS.
They didn't guess at mine. What did they guess for you?

they guessed boy and i was SHOCKED. which, lol, there are only two options, so it's not as though she guessed it was a squirrel or something haha. this pregnancy is pretty much identical to A so i just figured it was another girl. H is in meetings all day so i haven't even gotten to tell him yet. she said like 95% sure, too.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH A BOY? i am one of 5 girls and my mom has three granddaughters. omg, i can't wait to tell her.
You are going to fucking love it, is what you are going to do.
A question for you- are you doing the NT scan and the blood test (maternit21 or whatever)? Or were you told it's one or the other? I think things have changed a little since I had DD. I have my first OB appt next week and am wondering what they'll do this time.

You are going to LOVE having a boy! Boys are soo great. I can go on and on and on and on. So happy for you! We also had all girls in the family until I had my boy and then everyone else ended up having boys too. It's awesome!!!!!

i wanted to do the QNatal (quest diagnostics' version of materni21 or panorama) and skip the NT scan, but when i called to see if my insurance covered it, i was told it would be $2k for us since i'm not 35 or high risk. lolno. so just the NT scan for me.
i didn't have any elective testing done last time and it is SO NICE to get a clear scan earlier this time. i don't know why i skipped last time.
i'm also 13w1d, so a little further along than a lot of ppl at their NT. she said she had a perfect view lol.

I have a boy and a girl. The tech guessed right both times. But as I recall, I was pretty late to have the scan done with each Pg. Like, within the last 3 days are so of the limit for when the test could be done. I don't remember was that around 14 weeks or so?

I had the same tech and doctor with both kids and they both guessed correctly both times (both girls.)
To be fair, DD1 ADORES her dad. It's obsessive. It's insane and I was a wounded soul about it for so long. DD2 came along and I was like "great. another girl to crown H the king of the universe." Turns out DD2 is OBSESSED with me!! And I do twirls all the time about it and throw it in his face like the rational 12 year old that I am. This all, in turn, has made DD1 more into me because, duh, jealousy. It's been fun at the Kapowski house for me lately =)
She was so confident it was a boy at our NT scan, that she circled and labeled "boy" on our ultrasound picture that she printed.
By our anatomy scan, he became a she and was born a healthy girl.
lol omg nooo. had you already bought specific girly things?
Maybe I was unclear, but they told us boy when it ended up being a girl. This was #2 and we already had a girl. I bought a couple boy items from TJ Maxx, so no biggie, but my H was probably disappointed (though he never let onto it.)
