Depends: That information may be available through somewhat risky genetic testing (chorionic villus sampling) in the first trimester. A noninvasive ultrasound may be able to pick up male parts by 11-12 weeks. However, "turtle must stick his head out " for you to detect it. It may take several studies before it appears obvious. But it can be missed in several studies.

Depends.: Modern transvaginal ultrasound can give you a hint by 8-10 weeks, but certainty not before 15 weeks. Sequenom's maternit21 can give you this information reliably 8-10 weeks.
