Is 20wks the earliest possible to find out the sex

[Loudy]

Just wondering, and getting more excited all the time! I wanted to tell my in laws the sex when we visit for Christmas, but I'll be 20 weeks the day we leave!

Thanks!

I found out at 18 wks. I think some have found out sooner. It is so much fun finding out!!

I found out at 19 weeks... it is possible to find out earlier... especially with a little boy!

We're finding out at 16 weeks. That's when my doctor performs the u/s.

Oh WOW!!! How exciting!!! I can't wait to find out!!! It's so funny b/c all of my life I wanted it to be a surprise, but my husband really wanted to find out and now I REALLY REALLY can't wait!!!!! YAY!!

My dr doesn't do the main u/s until 24 weeks... so I won't know until Jan. I was really hoping to know before Christmas too.....

I'm not from this board but had to sneak a reply! I found out with my last one at around 15/16 weeks. I was having weekly u/s and at the last one...he was on display! It was confirmed at my 19 wk appointment! good luck and I hope your little one is not shy!

I found out at 16 weeks with a level II U/S.

I had a 3D u/s at 16 weeks and there was no question that she was a girl. Good luck. I cant wait to get to 16 weeks this time.

I didn't find out with my two until 20/21 weeks, but mine both hid. I've read stories on SG of women on PAM finding out as early as 14 and 15 weeks. I know there's a higher risk for the tech being wrong the earlier you find out. And I know boys are usually easier to see than girls...I hope you find out in time to share with your family We were able to share the news of one of my pregnancies with family at Christmas and it was such a huge warm fuzzy! Do you live close enough to a sonography studio that will do a 3D for you? If you can't see or find out at your u/s (which I'm guessing is before Christmas?)...maybe you can pay for one separately and find out that way!

Always,
Valerie

I found out at 16 weeks w/my other children. We don't plan on finding out at all for this one.

I found out at 14 weeks that my Joey was a BOY! So its possible to find out alot sooner then 20 weeks, especially with a BOY for the OBVIOUS!

My doctor has u/s scheduled at about 15/16 weeks for regular risk pregnancies. When I was pg with my DD she had her legs crossed at the first u/s and the tech and the doctor said they could not tell. I was so upset that I jumped up and down, ate a snack, did everything I could to get her to move but she wouldn't budge. I had placenta previa so I had another u/s a month later and she was pretty clearly a girl! :)The techs told me that the further a long you are the easier it is to tell. I guess everything is bigger! They said in the early teen weeks it is often hard to tell, even with some shy boys.
This time around I had a level II u/s at 18 weeks and he showed everything right away!!!!
I always want to know, it makes it so fun, I think! Good luck.

We were told at 17w 5d. However, the woman kept saying things like, This is what I think it is, so we are waiting until the next u/s to find out for sure.

Good luck!

If you're willing to pay, you can find out via a blood draw. Tests the genes in your blood...presence of y choromosomes means a boy.....they don't get filtered out by the placenta, I guess. Here's a link.

Surprised my wife didn't mention it (Terrah).
