A member asked:

Is it possible to be told the wrong gender in 19 week scan?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Most ultrasounds for gender are done at 20 weeks with greater than 95% accuracy. In general, it is easier to tell the presence of male genitalia rather than confirm its absence.
