Based on current techonology there is no way to determine sex of the fetus by ultrasound by the 7th week of gestation. Male and Female fetuses are anatomically identical until around 13 weeks. You could however determine the gender by an amniocentisis. However most providors will not do an amnio for the sheer fact of determining gender, as it carries a risk of infection as well as miscarriage. At 11-13 weeks, if you obtain a profile picture showing the fetus's "Genital Nub" there have been advances in determining gender based on the the degree of angulation of the "nub" from the spine. This however is not an exact science. Standardly gender is determined from week 16-24 if the baby is cooperative.
