I found out at 13/14 weeks via a blood test called a Harmony test! and of course I was a little skeptical because its a new test but they told me it was 98% accurate... an then it was confirmed at my 20 weeks ultra sound and again at 26 weeks..

At 20 weeks. There is a blood test you can take at 12 weeks called the harmony test that will tell you but i dont think insurance covers it unless theres a medical reason.

I have an ultrasound tomorrow I'll be 16 wks and 3 days. Hopefully we get it! I've heard of people getting it around 14 and 15 but I don't think that's often. You can have a blood test done to get the gender it takes a couple of weeks to get back but it's very accurate.

20 weeks usually at your ultrasound.. you can pay extra money to get a 3D scan that can tell earlier, like 15 weeks if your lucky I think.. I know when I went in for my 13 week visit where they measure the skin on the baby's neck and check for down syndrome and all that, I asked if they could possibly tell, she said it was a little early but if she were to take a guess she'd say boy, and sure enough, it's a boy.. I think boys would be more obvious than girls just because.. both my boys it was very obvious.. I knew as soon as I looked at the screen, she didn't even have to point it out, lol
