Toilet Shot at 14w2d? Need honest opinions, please UPDATE: Had 19-week scan, and ...

Thanks so much, everyone! I've gotten nothing but rolled eyes when I ask people I know whether or not this could be a girl, so I appreciate the fact that you all took the time to really look. I'm sure many of you can relate to my feelings of disbelief and uncertainty, no matter how obvious the answer appears to be to everyone else.

I forgot to mention that I had a scan at almost this exact same gestational age with my second daughter. While I saw a few angles with her that looked a little more boyish, the majority of the views just screamed girl. We even saw the three lines fairly clearly. There was nothing that looked remotely like what I saw with this baby. EVERY single angle was boy, boy, boy. I've also taken a look at some of the wrong guesses around this stage that are posted on this board and others, and I have yet to see one as convincingly boy as mine turn out to be a girl.

But there is always going to be that little seed of doubt, I guess. It doesn't help when I read about all the things here that could have been done to sway and I know we did NONE of them. We weren't even trying to get pregnant. If anything, our timing and my total lack of fertile cervical fluid should have guaranteed us another girl. It just doesn't seem possible that we could do everything "wrong" and still end up with a baby boy.

Anyway, I'm rambling ... thanks again for all your input! More replies are always welcome too.  

*bump for RooBees*

Thank you for the bump!!! :)

I think my 14wk4d shot looks similiar to yours as well- and I am hoping the same thing- that it

is correct. the u/s tech said that it is too early to tell if it is a girl, but that he would be surprised

if it isn't a boy. so I'm torn. when is your gender scan? also in my post you said you can't see the penis

and scrotum in my shot--- see I think I see a "turtle"? but again I've had 2 girls so who knows what I am seeing! :)

In your scan- can you point to what the penis and scrotum you see? I am so new to all the u/s guessing games! :)

Sorry, RooBees, I guess I should have clarified! I do think I see a penis in your photo, I just didn't think I could see the penis and scrotum in the same shot. That in itself is not a big deal, since what you see could easily depend on the angle of the probe. One thing I did notice is that your shot was taken right between the legs and not from somewhat behind the baby, which makes it seem much more likely that it's not a girl with a really large nub. I would be fairly surprised if your baby turns out to be a girl, in fact.

I go back for my next scan at the beginning of January, when I'll be 19 weeks. I figure there should be no question about it then! When do you get another scan?

I'll attach another pic that shows what we were told was the boy parts. What our tech identified as the scrotum is outlined in dark blue, and the head of the penis in light blue. I hope that helps!

okay that is what I thought where your shot was! I hope you get your boy! I totally see where the penis is and scrotum. is but confussed by mine. hmmmmm...... when I look at mine I see what a head is- but could be clitoris? then what's on each side? the scrotum wouldn't have 2 lines right?

I am over annalysing this way too much! LOL!

I just had my 19-week anatomy scan, and baby is (in my peri's words) "definitely a boy!" Thanks for all the guesses and input, everyone.

Awesome news!

Congrats on your baby BOY!!! 

congratulations!!!!! I have my anatomy scan next tuesday!!! can't wait for my results!

 Fantastic news!

Thanks so much!!! We're very excited, though we would have adored another little girl, of course. The most important thing is that he looks active and healthy.

The shot they printed out for us wasn't the clearest because the cord was running through the legs and obscuring most of the scrotum, but the peri got much better look when he came in and said he had no hesitation about calling this one. At least now I feel like I can relax a bit knowing that the baby looks like he's doing well, and that I haven't spent the last several weeks bonding with a baby boy who didn't exist. I just can't wait to hold this little one.  

That is for sure a boy! congrats!

Congrats!

Enjoy!
