confused about my ultrasound

I have my ultrasound last January 12, 2009 and my OB says that  it was boy because she shows a a signs at his early stage ( the penis). my question is: Is the result true even if i have at my 17 6/7 weeks fregnant at that time? Is there a tendency that at this stage a change of gender?  sorry for asking thisbut i am only confused about it, its because this is my first baby.

I was reading your other post and wasn't sure what you were trying to ask. But yes, I would think if they got a clear shot of your baby at almost 18 weeks...Then it is pretty accurate. Boys are easier to distinguish earlier on. Congrats!
