Found this on wikipedia:
Obstetric ultrasonography, either transvaginally or transabdominally, can check for the sagittal sign as a marker of fetal sex. It can be performed between 65 and 69 days from fertilization (week 12 of gestational age), where it gives a result in 90% of cases - a result that is correct in approximately ¾ of cases, according to a study from 2001.[1] Accuracy for males is approximately 50% and for females almost 100%. When performed later, after 70 days from fertilization (at week 13 of gestational age), it gives an accurate result in almost 100% of cases.

  • From week 13, sex prediction by obstetric ultrasonography is almost 100% accurate.[11]
  • At week 15, main development of external genitalia is finished

    Interesting. I've never heard of this, but will ask during my appt tomorrow since I'm one day shy of 13 weeks so it's the right time. Do you have a link to the article? I'd love to print it off and bring it in.

    Thanks! The article doesn't say much other than what you posted it looks like. I'll show it to my tech and see if she understands what the sagittail sign is. I'll let you know what she says!

     This is nub theory, guys.  The sagittal sign in the caudal or cranial notch:

    Sorry to bug you Al, but could you tell me why you think girl?  Just wondering what I'm looking at and the reasoning behind the girl guess.  I think I might want to be an u/s tech after my kids are in school...LOL

     I think girl becuse the nub isn't at an angle in relation to the spine.  Looks like a girl nub.

    Ok, so you're saying the nub is flat or parallel to the spine.  Does the fork or shape of the nub mean anything or is it primarily the angle?

    TTC#3- The link you found is the same as the nub theory...it's definatly not a guarentee as there are PLENTY of nub guesses on the u/s forum that we have professional u/s techs look at and they have been wrong. However...looking at your nub it's very flat...although the picture isn't clear on the computer it appears to be less than 20 degrees to the spine which is typical for a girly nub....all fetuses before a certain stage look the same "down there" the elongated part we see will turn penis for a boy and gradually sink in for a girl, it's the clitoris, and the outer fold will turn labia for girl and scrotum for boy. SOMETIMES boys can look very flat and still be boy and vise versa...but I think a lot of the time it's right as well. I hope that your nub is correct as it looks girly to me! The boy nubs tend to point up or are forked. Go to the u/s gender prediction forum and take a look at a few! Good luck!

    Thanks for your response babybleu.  You said that boy nubs tend to look "forked".  Does mine look "forked"?  I wasn't sure if it did or not.  I have been looking at the ultrasound prediction forum...rather obsessively :)

     All nubs are forked especially in the 12th week - it is the urethra being imaged on ultrasound:

     

    This diagram shows a boy tubercle but a girl's before 14 weeks looks exactly the same.
