Wrong early gender scan?

Hi everyone!
I just want to thank anybody in advance who might be able to help. Basically, I went for an early gender scan (private) at 15+3, it took the sonogropher a long time to find anything, she said she was struggling to see but she thinks it's a boy. I was looking the whole time (I was convinced girl as I saw no boy bits as I've already got 2 boys). Then I was sent over these photos, which just don't make me feel very confident. Like I said, I've had two boys and both were very obvious. Where as this scan all I could see for most of the scan was that horizontal white line inbetween the thighs and then at the end there's the little part that you can see in the photo that sticks up. But this doesn't seen to stay in the same place (as you can see in the pics, ones in the middle then the next photo it is further to the right)
Anyway, I decided to look online and I actually found quite alot of girl scans at the same gestation that look exactly the same. I decided to wait for my 20 week NHS scan to get a definately answer, again she really struggled. She said she thought she saw a glimpse of boy parts but can't be definite, I asked her to show me what she saw but she said the baby moved again and she can longer see anything to be sure.
I was just wondering what others think? It's only as I've seen scans of girls that look the same and I just can't shift the feeling that it could be wrong as my other boys were very obvious and bigger even at that stage! Thank you😊

From the scan picture I’d say boy. :) not that I’m a professional in anyway lol

I'm no scan expert so can't say myself but I do know situations where the gender scan has been wrong....

....although always a 'girl' turning out to be a boy. Not the other way round.

If a trained sonographer struggled I am not sure what good random people online will be! Hopefully you’ll have clarity in a few weeks at your next NHS scan

You asked for a rescan of that area at an anomaly scan to see for yourself?

Maybe wait 6 weeks or so and pay for a private one if you really can't wait.

To me though, that looks like a boy.

You'll have to let us know how you got on xx I'm expecting triplets, at our last scan, just turned 16 weeks I was told three boys !! I couldn't see the scans clearly myself so I'm also doubting what they think they found! I'm sure it's very unlikely, but at the same time you'd think a boy would be really obvious 🤷‍♀️ xx
