Stacked nub, 20 week scan girl?

Hey all,
So I did the nub theory at 12 weeks, and the Nub Whisperer predicted a boy. Now it does look like a clear stacked nub so I was kinda convinced it was a boy although I know nub theory is not always accurate!

Had my anomaly scan and sonographer said girl.
Baby is healthy thankfully and that is the most important thing, but I couldn't help feeling a little confused / slightly disappointed I think because the nub did look so clear and I had a little boy in mind for the last few weeks and started picturing a little boy in the family. Looking forward to loving another daughter now but I can't shake the feeling of boy? Anyone else had anything similar and it turned out to be a boy or is it definitely a girl, and I can buy girly clothes without feeling like I might be making a mistake lol.
Image of nub theory and scan attached.

I would be believing the sonographer more to be honest as by 20 weeks the sex is visible whereas the nub theory is just that..a theory so I would say you are most likely having a girl like the sonographer said

If the sonographer said girl it's 99% likely to be a girl.

It is, after all, just a theory the nub theory. It’s not proven. That’s important to remember so trust the sonographer.

Well I'm going to throw the cat amongst the pigeons here - we were told our first child was going to be a girl. Hubby took her word for it literally but I just couldn't shake the feeling she was wrong and we were having a boy.
We even had a massive row because I kept picking boys names and didn't like any girls names.
First words out of my husband mouth when I gave birth - funny looking girl! 🤣
Yes, the sonographer was wrong, my instinct was right, we had a beautiful baby boy.

Enjoy your pregnancy and just go along as though you don't know because until they're actually born and in your arms - you actually don't know 100% ❤️😉💐

Thanks,
I guess from reading them all I'm still undecided! I think I've nearly convinced myself it's a girl but when my sister told me there's a sale on for baby girl clothes I found that I didn't actually clock the link to order anything so maybe subconsciously I'm not 100% there haha...guess will just have to see when baby's born!

Yeah nub theory is just a theory after all, its not 100% accurate
My 12 week scan they predicted a girl but was told at 20 weeks it was a boy

I would defo pay for a private gender scan to put your mind at rest
