The genitals are just developing around 13 wks and it can go either way. At that point male & female parts look the same.

You can always try and take one of those intelligender tests that they sell in drug stores.

Re: How early can you find out the babies sex?

I just found out at 14 weeks. We got a really clear view of our Chat Icon playing with ummm himself Chat Icon

Im sure if we didnt see a little nub that they would have said wait til the 20 week to confirm "it" isnt hiding.

Re: How early can you find out the babies sex?

I would suggest to wait if you can-

A girl in my office was told at 14 weeks she was having a Chat Icon and the doctor claimed to be totally certain about that..

Well, at her 20 week level 2, it turned out to be a Chat Icon , with a crystal clear vajajay shot and all.

My OB said there's a huge margin for error if you're trying to tell the sex early because everything is still so tiny and forming.

SO I know the wait is killing you (trust me, I was ready to blow a gasket!), it will be all worth it.

Good luck!

Our little man was not cooperating at my 16 week appointment, but I had my sister in law scan me (she's a sono tech) at 17 weeks and we saw the goods. My OB then confirmed it at 20 weeks.

Re: How early can you find out the babies sex?

We found out Chat Icon at 15 weeks during an impact gender determination session- which by the way is cheap and u get great pics.

I know some people say it's not accurate then but I think it really depends on the machine.

The one at my OB was horrible- I could NEVER make anything out. The one at impact was amazing...

We did other 3ds and my son's face in the later ones looked EXACTLY like his face when he was born and the swelling went down.

I just had my 12w appt and our sono looked like it was a boy. However, the tech did say there was a chance it could be wrong (she gave us 40% chance it could be wrong). So we'll have to wait until our 20 w to know for sure!

Re: How early can you find out the babies sex?

My sono tech told me at 12 weeks they have a 50/50 chance of being right.

At 16 weeks as long as the legs are open they can almost positively identify.

At 20 weeks they can manipulate views and therefore have the best chance of getting an accurate sono showing sex.
