Had a scan yesterday (am 17 weeks) didnt get a 'through the legs' shot but really clear pictures of baby from side on (like you see in most scans). There were 2 very obvious parallel bright white lines = at the genital area. Any idea what they were or if that indicates boy or girl?

I thought it was three lines for a girl?
Not relevant for me - we clearly saw a willie! 
OP, are you going to have a gender scan?

This is the issue. . I already have a boy so would love a gender scan to find out what this one is but hubby is dead set against it (to the point we fell out over it) he says it's the only real surprise in life blah blah blah! I couldnt go & find out myself without him knowing coz I'd end up letting it slip so we're not finding out. . But I am now literally driving myself insane trying to work it out!!

Am I not right in thinking though that you only get the burger image if it's taken from the 'potty shot' right between the legs. This image was side on. . . I already have a hot dog so would love a hamburger!

I don't think you wield see it properly from the side, this indicating noting sorry
It is the potty shot that shows the girls " burger" (|) and yes always 3 lines, I don't think you'd be able to work anything out from the side

Didn't get a picture. It was an unplanned scan due to a small bleed ( scary bit everything fine) . It was during the course of her scanning me that my eyes kept getting drawn to these 2 bright white parallel lines at genital area! But like I said it wasn't a potty shot it was side on

I saw unmistakable boy bits at my 20week scan with ds, I didn't want to find out the sex but it was so obviously a willy
With dd it was definitely 3 lines but I had asked to see so she had zoomed in and was really looking. I would guess you're having a girl based on my experiences, if they weren't really looking at that area I would imagine its easy to miss one of the lines but a willy will look like a willy!
