Nipt says girl, but ultrasound says boy!

Hi! Just wanted to get an opinion from this community, i recently got an NIPT test that says my baby has a high chance of Turner's Syndrome(which 99% affects only girls, with a mortality rate of 99% during the 1st trimester). So i went to get a second opinion from another ObGyn, the ultrasound looks like a boy!

Please chime inon whether based from your experiences, this ultrasound result is that of a boy's or a girl's.

Many thanks!

I decided not to have Nipt when I was pregnant because after researching it I was shocked by the false advertising (99% accurate! It's not) and how terrible some of the accuracy rates are for the lesser known issues. And misuse of statistics.

I can't find the best article I read, if I do I'll post it, but basically if you are told your baby probably has Downs, there's approx an 80% chance it's correct. But Pataus is only correct 50% of the time and Edwards 40%. And rarer issues can be less accurate than that.

I actually think it's an unethical test for the rarer issues. There are loads of cases of people worrying unnecessarily about results and even wrongly being advised to terminate.

Wonderful news for you all

I've never heard of a harmony /nipt being wrong so guess it can happen
