Yes our sonographer guesstimated correctly both our DD's. They can't tell categorically, but can give you an educated guess.

Yep based on the nub theory if you check out ingenderdot com.
But it is only a theory, not 100% proven and sometimes can be wrong. Also many sonographers either dont know about the theory or refuse to talk about it so finding a sonographer that will help you can be tricky lol.
I had a great sono who knew all about it and after doing my own research on the theory, me, my husband and the sono all agreed our last bubs was a girl. we were right.
When you have your scan see if you can get a good profile shot of baby, that way if you upload online people MAY be able to help you, predict the sex.
HTH;)

I did with DS2, at 12w5d :)

She said she "wouldn't bet her house on it but fairly certain" and it looked the same to me as DS1s 20w scan so I was convinced!

The sonographer guessed correctly with our DD also at 12w1d based on the Nub theory. Just make sure you are getting a full side on profile shot, potty shot will not be accurate!

Bear in mind is just a guess, a good guess.... but none the less not 100%
Have a look HERE (http://www.baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.html) as well as Ingender, explains the theory well.

I was 13 weeks at our NT scan and she said she thought it was a girl but couldn't say for sure as it was still too early! It was a girl;)

You can get gender scans from 15 weeks at 3D places.

I had my scan done a day before 12 weeks. The man said that he was 99.9 percent sure it was a girl. He was right!
