Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
TIFFA is targeted imaging for fetal anomalies, and it is a detailed ultrasound in which the congenital anomalies in the fetus are ruled out.
It should be done in all pregnancies at 18-22 weeks of gestation.
It can tell the gender of the fetus, but whether it can be revealed to you or not, depends on the rules of your country.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
