Any advice from previous experiences.

So I'm 18 weeks and I went for my gender ultrasound today. The tech said that my estrogen or testosterone levels are high. She said it's normal at this stage of my pregnancy. But she said it's making it hard to determine the sex of the baby. She got a clear view of the genitals and said she just wanted to make sure. She kept looking and humming and hawing. She said it could be a swollen labia or a penis. In Tue end she said she was 99.9 percent sure but it was a tricky one.

The kicker, my husband and I are having a gender reveal party and through out the appt we didn't look. She put what she believes to be 99.9% accurate in an envelope that I am bringing to a bakery to either make a pink or blue filled cake. The tech has been doing this  for 30 years. Has anyone been through a gender scan like this before? What's the out cone?

My doctor said he was 99 percent sure it was a boy at our last visit which was 13 weeks he said he was going to check today to see if it's still a boy. I hope so because we've gotten him a few things. Not much though because it was early and I was afraid to buy to much.
