Can you tell the gender from this US photo? - Page 2

At 18/19 weeks you need a toilet shot (what some others refer to as a "crotch shot"). I don't see any gender clues at all, either way, in your pic. Also, the absence of a penis or boy parts does not necessarily mean it's a girl, you need to see the famous "3 lines". That said, sometimes boy parts can hide and the scrotum when squished can show lines too! And sometimes (earlier on usually, like 16 weeks) a girl can have a very swollen clitorus which can be mistaken for a penis. But the closer you get to 20 weeks, the more accurate u/s.

HTH!

This is kind of what I thought, I'm not really super educated on telling gender through US but a few people have told me that this is a boy and I'm assuming they are looking at that white nub? Sticking up that is kind of split at the top? But maybe that's part of the leg? Cord? It's obviously a terrible photo for this... We don't regret not having the tech tell us or find out, I watched the whole scan and at no point was there the infamous "potty shot" so I'm not sure the tech knows either, the Dr there said they don't find out the gender if the parents don't want it - they (usually) don't need that information.

Thanks everyone for looking!

It looks like the leg is in the way and you're just seeing part of the femur or seomthing to me. I've had many an u/s and I've never been able to tell from the side what gender the baby was.

Totally can't tell from that angle. Not even trained technicians make guesses at that angle. They have to get a clear, unobstructed view of the genitalia from head on to make a guess.
