The only way to know is by taking a pregnancy test. In order for that to be accurate, you usually have to wait until you're period is due. Or if you miss a period, that's a good indicator

Well I think they might be able to tell earlier by amniocentisis but I found out my baby's sex at 17 weeks 5 days by ultrasound. Hope that helps Wink

Whoopsies! I totally misread your question. Ignore the above info EmbarassedI'm sorry! Katie's right. Amniocentesis can be done quite early on (tho it's risky) but otherwise for me, they wanted me to schedule my u/s between 18 and 23 weeks if I wanted to have a chance to know the gender of my baby.
