Accuracy of Ultrasound Gender Determination.

Hi guys,
does anyone know the reliability of using
ultra sound to tell the gender of the
baby.
I did a scan at 21 weeks and have been
told the sex of the child.
Is this verdict 100% correct?
Have there been known to be errors in this
method of checking?

There have been mistakes sometimes of what
the gender is. But those chances are
slim. They usually are pretty accurate.
You might want to take another ultrasound
so you can be sure that they are correct.

Caro-nikki,
thanks for your response. I guess mine is
just wishful thinking.
I will settle for the current verdict and
wait patiently.

Yeah my sister wanted a boy so bad we
started calling her tummy gabriel and the
ultra sound proved it to be a girl, and we
said "are you sure? Cuz its supposed to
be a boy!" but no, our little hope is a
sweetie anyways. Good luck!

If they see a penis in the ultrasound,
then it's very hard to be wrong. A boy's
penis in an ultrasound looks sort of like
an apple (the testicles) with an arrow
pointing out of it (the penis). If they
don't see it, then more than likely you
have a girl. However, the baby might be
positioned in such a way that the penis is
not visible. So, if they say girl, might
be a boy. But if they say boy, you can
99% count on it. Care to share what they
said?

Thanks mum in dallas,
the scan showed baby girl!!
I and my husband for some reason thought
we were having a boy; david to be
precise.
What do you think? Should I start
shopping for pinks?

I guess that depends on how much
confidence your doctor and ultrasound
technician have in the test. If they say
they are sure, then go for it! I'm not a
huge fan of pink so if mine turns out to
be a girl finally (i feel like it is :d),
then i'll be buying lots of white! Lol

You are lucky for a boy! I wish I could
have a boy, my family has strong girl
genes!!! I have 3 sisters and 2 neices.
No boys at all! When I do have kids, wish
me luck for a boy!

Good luck with getting a boy .... But ...
Did you know the gender of the child is
entirely, and I man 100%, detemined by the
man's sperm? The sperm cells themselves
contain a gender. So if your egg is
fertilized by a male, you're having a boy!

Thanks mum in dallas, then a girl it is
for the 4th time!!!
As for nikki caro, dont worry about the
genes!I and my husband come from families
where there are 5 boys and 2
girls(husband) and 4 boys 2 girls(my
family). So you see if its a case of
genes we should be getting more boys and
less girls!!
My doctor always told me that chamces of
getting either sex are 50:50 but with me
having 4 girls,i disagree with that theory
and think its all up to god almighty and
luck!!
Just keep fingers crossed or go for pre
selection if you want it that bad.
I should have done the same myself but I
guess its too late for that now.

I'm 100% for leaving it up to god. I
believe we get what we're meant to get ...
Maybe i'm just supposed to be a mom for
boys ... Who knows? But i'll be happy
with whatever baby he blesses me with!

I just thought you should know they are'nt
always right. They told me I was having a
boy and even measured a penis and when it
was born he was a she. I had over 5
ultrasounds every time it was supposedly a
boy. So you never really know.

you dont know how encouraging your message
sounds to me!!
I will be quite conservative and buy very
few pinks and more of whites and
yellows.
I cant bear the agony of another scan, I
will just wait and see.
Meanwhile, the thing to do is to enjoy my
christmas and new year while I can before
the little bundle shows up to tie me
down.
As to the mummy with boys and hoping for a
girl, best of luck too!

I am feeling the same way. I am a Mother
of two boys and I am pregnant for a third
time. We did everything we could to have
a girl, timing, positions, etc. I was
told at 19weeks it was a boy and I have
been crying ever since. I love my boys,
but can't imagine my life without a girl.
My pregancy has been 100% completely
differnt then my first two, so I was
convinced it was finally my time for a
girl. I hope you get what you want!!

Hi, I saw your reply on this post. The
thread is apparently 3 years old, but I'm
in a similar boat and thought I'd try to
get in touch with you! I have two little
boys and am 16 weeks with #2. My
ultrasound is in 2 weeks, and I'm already
crying in fear that it's a boy. Of course
I will adore him, but I too cannot imagine
my life without a daughter and my husband
says this is it. We tried the Shettles
method this time, and hopefully it worked.
I just don't know how I'll get through it
if it's a boy. Once he gets here, I'll be
fine - but in the meantime I'll be a mess.
I hope you're feeling better.....
