The external genitalia of the fetus can typically be distinguished as male or female by ultrasound around 12 weeks after fertilization, although it can sometimes be clear as early as 11 weeks. This is when the genital tubercle either develops into a penis or clitoris, and the surrounding tissues form the scrotum or labia.
