Is it true that a round embryo is a girl and a long one is a boy?

Patient's question:

We got married without getting pregnant, and I even thought I was infertile. But unexpectedly, I'm pregnant now. I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl, but my mother-in-law hopes to have a son. However, I've seen many things online saying that if the gestational sac is round during the first 60 days of pregnancy, it means it's a girl, and if it's long, it's a boy. Is that accurate?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is definitely not accurate. So, I suggest you should not trust this situation. Otherwise, it can have a certain impact on your emotions and pregnancy. Both men and women are acceptable now; equality between men and women is the norm.
An ultrasound to determine the gender should wait until at least 3 months, and the accuracy is not 100%. Moreover, there are laws that prohibit gender determination of the fetus, and hospitals will not inform you of the baby's gender. It is not determined by the shape of the gestational sac; you need to see the reproductive organs of the fetus to be sure of its gender.
