Boy or Girl?

I went to the Dr to have an ERA (early pregnancy screening test) I was able to see the baby!  It measured 12w3d.
While the tech was taking various pics I saw the pic that was taken between the babys legs.  We didn't see anything so I asked the Tech if that meant I was having a girl.  She said it's too early to tell.  

I'm not sure I believe her.  I feel like she has some idea.  What do you guys think?  Is it really too early.  I've read various places on the web that genetalia is distinguishable at 11 weeks.

It really depends on the pregnancy most arn't able to tell until later on in the pregnancy and other cases it can be told right away...my first we were not able to see what sex until about 24 weeks and my youngest we were able to see at 16 so it really depends.

Before 13 weeks you cannot distinguish female and male genitalia.

You can tell in some cases and in some you can't. She probably wasn't lying.
