NT/1ST Trimester Screening

I've heard of several ladies who indicate the sex of their baby was determined during their NT/1ST Trimester Screen ultrasound.  I've heard you generally find this out at 18+ weeks.  Anyone been able to find this out eariler or at the screening ultrasound?  I'm so excited to find out!!

found out at 15 1/2 weeks to rule out genetic problems - and my doc was 100% confident in the fact that she was a girl!

I had my n/t done last week at 12w and my u/s was more advanced and also the tech was really cool and did one in 4d just for the fun of it. It is a boy.

I believe it's done somewhere between 11-13 weeks.  If you're interested I'd check with your doc to be sure.

The test is offered to women I think of 35 and over because they have a higher risk of downs and trisomy 18. I am 38 will be 39 when this baby is due and also with my 5 yr my doctor insisted on an amnio, but this time I went with the n/t because of all the risk of the amnio.

I have to admit, my answer to this post when I first read it last week was going to be "no, you can not tell so early"....

But today we had our "official" NT screening with a excellent specialist in prenatal diagnostic.  He told us with 80% certainty the sex of our babies.  We had the CVS done so we will know in a short time with 100% certainty if he is right.  But I really dont care what the sex is.  I will just be so relieved if I can hear that they are healthy.  Then I can enjoy being pregnant again!!!!
