3D Scan, gender?

Hey everybody, I'm a ftm and so I really wanna know the gender of bubba and fast! Lol. So I'm 15 weeks and 5 days atm, and today I booked and paid for a 3D scan, for next Tuesday at which point I will be 16 weeks and 4 days. I've read online that the genitals are supposed to be fully formed by now so you should be able to see what bubs is on a scan. But after calling the lady on the phone told me that they will only be able to tell within a 65-75% accuracy. So I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone else had a 3D scan at this point in their pregnancy and found out the gender? Then later had it confirmed? My next ultrasound after that is at the hospital at 19 weeks and 3 days so, I should have it confirmed or not by then. But I don't wanna pump myself up thinking it's a boy or girl for three weeks and then find out that they were wrong..

My sister had hers done then and they said it was a boy but when she had another one done at 21 weeks it was clearly a girl. I had mine done at 20 weeks and it was definately a boy! :)

I had my gender scan at 16wks and it was a clearr 100% boy. It all depends on your ultrasound tech and if he/she feels confident in their decision uk.
