Gender Prediction Methods at 13 Weeks

Nub Theory

✓ Available~70-75%

13 weeks is excellent for nub theory. The genital tubercle is clearly differentiated — a steep upward angle for boys, horizontal or slightly downward for girls. Accuracy is around 80%.

Skull Theory

✓ Available~70-75%

Skull theory is highly readable at 13 weeks. The differences in forehead slope and brow ridge are more pronounced, giving around 75% accuracy.

Chinese Gender Calendar

✓ Available~50-70% (varies by study)

The Chinese Gender Calendar can be used alongside other methods for an added data point — though ultrasound-based methods are significantly more accurate.

AI Ultrasound Analysis

✓ Available~75-80%

AI analysis at 13 weeks reaches around 80-85% accuracy by combining nub angle, skull morphology, and other anatomical signals. This is a strong window for predictions.
