Interesting info on early gender determination

I have been wondering if they will be able to tell the sex of my baby next week at my NT U/S. I will be 12 wks, 4 days. This is some interesting info I found. How many of you found out in the 12 week range? I'm curious...

"On the subject of "early diagnosis of fetal gender", a recent article by B J Whitlow et al, entitled "First trimester diagnosis of gender" which appeared in the Journal: Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology 1999; 13:301

I had my nuchal u/s at 13 weeks and told me there was about an 85% chance it was a girl.  They were right!
