Awwwww, what a cutie Ash!!! No idea on gender as I know nothing about how to tell but I'm so pleased to see this beautiful shot!

[Pearl327]

Congratulations ash. Super cute baby. I have no clue when it comes to gender clues.

[momamia4]

Congrats Ash!! I can't tell the gender but FX for your boy! :)

[Ashforblue]

Thx ladies! I'm over the moon that it's healthy & now can obsess over gender... At least until my harmony test results come back! I wasn't even planning on getting it but just felt myself agreeing when they asked if it wanted it, lol

Here's a cute 3D shot... My little alien!26889

Ohhhhhb, I'm so excited for you Goodmom! Its so nerve wracking though at the same time! Are you getting a gender test done?

Thx Daisy, I hope your right!

Hi all, I had a blood test to confirm pregnancy yesterday at 4w, 4d and it came back at 111. My endocrinologist office did the test since I was already there for a thyroid checkup and when they called today they didn't mention retesting in 48 hours so I asked if they could and the receptionist said she'd check with the doctor and get back to me. This number seems low to me but a couple of you in the Aug 2ww thread assured me that its a normal number (thanks momamia and XX, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still stressing though). I know the normal range from the American Pregnancy Association is very large (so like 10 - 425 mIU/ml) for 4 weeks) but I'm guessing that has to depend on when implantation occurs. If one person implants at 8 dpo and one at 12 dpo, their numbers are going to be quite different at 18 dpo. I got a clear positive at 10 dpo so I feel like my number should be higher at this point. Based on this chart, I feel like it should be over 1,000:

Is My hCG Blood Level Normal | BabyMed (http://www.babymed.com/is-my-hcg-blood-level-normal)


Just curious what everyone else's numbers were and at how many dpo? Please include when you got a + hpt too.

[momamia4]

I just got a call from the nurse. My level increased from 141 to 303 in 4 days. My doubling time decreased a little to 86.99 hours. I go back in on Saturday for another blood test. FX my doubling time shortens and my numbers go up more on Saturday! :D

That's great that the numbers are still moving up momamia! Hoping they continue to do so at a faster rate :)

I had to have mine redone too - I popped in today for a second round of beta.
I think mine was -159 at 4wks but I can't recall until I get to a computer.

Congratulations on the numbers going up momamia. I hope they keep going up.

Goodmom best if luck at your scan today.

It is very exciting all the scans this week. I have to change my appointment for the 4th as I just realised that it clashes with DD 1st swim lesson. I thought I had another week before they started.

[momamia4]

Goodmom, FX baby cooperates at your scan! :)

[Pearl327]

A co-worker gave me a piece of chocolate cake (it looked like a biscuit cake) today and when I was half way through mentioned that there was raw egg in it.

[momamia4]

:/ That wasn't very nice!

Im so sorry mama - this happened to me a couple years ago; I did opt for the d&c just bc I knew I would start feeling better - as I did have pregnancy symptoms.

[goodmom]

Thank u all ...ssoo much for ur support and kind words ...
I never ever thought tht after 12 weeks i will go through this ... but anyway m trying to be strong now ...m thinking of getting surgical procedure ...bcoz i want to get out of this situation asap and recover soon ... as there is no sign of bleeding so m not sure naturally how much time it will take ...
Can anyone advice if m making the right choice ?

[True Blue]

Goodmom I'm so very sorry :sadflwr: my heart is breaking for you right now. Sending all the support in the world to you with love :(

[Foxcubblue]

Oh goodmom, I'm so, so sorry to hear this, it is heartbreaking. Sending you the biggest hugs.

[momamia4]

Goodmom, a d&c is perfectly fine at this point. As you say, it is the fastest way to get back to normal. Hugs!

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Goodmom I agree - the d&c will be a quicker recovery than waiting it out. Emotionally as well. As someone who went through it (we found our empty sac at 10.5 wks) i can say that recovery was tough for a few days, I was off work for 3 days and still uncomfortable a few days after but it's the beginning of a new start... Not sure if that helps you at all, but know you're not alone.

Very sorry to hear your new goodmom! I got no advice but sending lots xoxo in this difficult time 😢

So sorry Goodmom :(. Big hugs xx

[TiffSal]

Hormones were working last night. I was so angry and moody!
Had so much trouble sleeping but finally getting ready to my 12 weeks scan😊 hopefully ill be in a better mood today

[Junie]

I'm so so sorry goodmom. This stuff is just so awful to go through. Seeing the ultrasound is awful. Big big hugs to you. If you ever want to talk feel free to PM me.

[Junie]

Also I had a D&C and would always pick that if it is an option. You know they are clearing everything out which is good for future pregnancies and I personally did not have any pain. I was just a bit woozy from the meds which they use to knock you out.

So sorry to read this Goodmom :sadflwr:

I was told at my 8wk dating scan that the pregnancy was not viable (slow heartbeat, 2 weeks behind in measurements), a week later another scan confirmed no heartbeat. It took another 6 days until a bit of bleeding started. I was booked in for a D & C 2 days later (would have had it the day after the last scan but all of my Dr's were away so I had to wait - which was not nice). I am VERY glad I took the surgery route, even though my body started miscarrying naturally - it was not very pleasant and I was glad when I was knocked out and could wake up 'all done'.
If you want to chat feel free to send me a message. Take care xx

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Tiffsal that is so exciting! I can't wait to see pics of your bubs! Was your scan today then?
Im obsessed with early pregnancy. I cannot stop googling and stressing over numbers and trying to plan how im going to get through the next bunch of weeks....
I guess I'm 6 weeks tomorrow based on lmp, but I am eager to get prenatal care started and to determine whether im carrying just one. My doc isn't helpful, but I've just learned I can possibly start seeing a midwife earlier than a doctor will take me.

I've called the midwives that looked after me at the end with ds4, and also a more local midwife team. But my mind is on this stuff 24/7. You'd think after all these pregnancies Id be an old hat at it and be able to function but not so much. Fortunately I have a run of weddings this weekend and next so I can Maybe absorb myself in work for a bit...

Sorry for the rant - I just find this site /forum so much more active and supportive than the wte type groups

Best of luck today TiffSal. I hope you have a healthy and cooperative baby for a good clear nub shot today.

I pushed my scan back to the Wednesday the 9th as there was just too much going on on the Friday before with DD finishing her 1st week in school and starting her 1st solo swimming lessons ( I have been in the pool with her all other times)

I am getting very dizzy and have a mild headache whenever I am hungry this week. I feel good for about an hr or 2 after I eat and then it comes back. I have had this months 3-4 on my other pregnancies too. I guess I just need to manage it by eating smaller meals more regularly and start taking my iron as it can be linked to anemia plus my blood pressure tends to run on the low side. last time it was 120/80 I was in 40 weeks pregnant. It used to drop during labour too. Anyone else getting this?

[YayBaby678]

I'm so sorry goodmom :( Wishing you strength and peace as you deal with this difficult process. Sending big hugs.

Well ladies I am sad to leave this group as well. I started bleeding yesterday morning and it is still going strong. My hcg was at 111 on Monday, which seemed low to me for 4 weeks, 4 days, and they tested it again yesterday so I am waiting for those results but I have given up hope. There is no way this could still be a viable pregnancy. I was only about 5 weeks but I never realized just how hard this would be.

Best wishes to all of you on your pregnancy journeys!

[Pearl327]

Oh no YayBaby. I am very sorry for your loss. Look after yourself and I hope you will have a sticky bean soon

[True Blue]

Yaybaby I am so sorry, I'm so sad we are losing you momma from here and hope to see you all back soon :(


I haven't been posting much I too feel in limbo I have been spotting nearly every other day since the bleed 11 days ago so my confidence is crawling.

Sending all the love and support I can to those who need it :hugs:

[daisy4]

Oh no I am so sorry yaybaby [emoji20]

[momamia4]

Yaybaby, I am so sorry!!! :bighug: Take care of yourself.

True, I am praying that everything is fine and the spotting will stop. :hugs:

I noticed the same thing, Ash. :(

Wishing u all a very safe and healthy pregnancy .... xx hugss ...[emoji173]

[YayBaby678]

Thank you all so much and extra hugs, goodmom. True, I hope your spotting stops ASAP. I did have a lot of spotting with my DS and the pregnancy went very smoothly besides that. Sending prayers for you. How far along are you at this point?

I just got my hcg results back and yesterday's number is 37, down from 111 on Monday. So its definitely over, as I assumed when I started bleeding. My progesterone is only 0.7. Should I assume that is because the pregnancy is ending or could low progesterone have been a cause for this? My doctor's office is useless so they didn't give me any information on that. I'm looking for a new OB today.

[covered in blue]

So sorry Yaybaby xx

True - bleeding can go on for a long time with a SCH. I had one with DS1 and it carried on for 10 weeks! (From 6-16 weeks). It would go from red to brown, to back to red, etc. It's aweful I know to be in limbo but I am feeling very positive for you that you will get a healthy little baby from this xx

I've been quite sick lately. I had a cold which turned into a chest and sinus infection and I just don't seem to be able to clear it. I'm on antibiotics so hopefully that will help soon. At the doctors yesterday I snuck in for an unofficial scan and saw my little bean doing sit ups lol which was lovely. I couldn't stop myself staring at the nub though - a totally stacked looking BOY nub! How can this be at only 10 weeks? I'm so confused. Anyways I'm just totally not trying to think about it too much.
My thoughts are with all of you going through such a hard time at the moment xx

Yaybaby and true im sorry to hear. I agree with ash. Really sad to hear news like this 😢.

Thanks hitme and pearl sounds like you guys have been busy. It will come before you know it.

Awsome pics covered xx

[Ashforblue]

Covered~ I'm sorry your sick but how neat you got to have a scan!! I wouldn't put too much stock in a 10 week nub... Plus your baby is quite curved which would make the nub look like it's less flat then it is!

Has anyone heard from TiffSal? I hope her scan went well!

Also ~ can the ladies that nub guess go over to my thread in the ultrasound predictions & look at the second one I posted? It's in the second page.... I'm totally nubssessing now!

[Ashforblue]

There you are TiffSal! Did you have your scan?

[TiffSal]

Hey Ash. Sorry Dh took the day off work the day didnt stop. We told our boys yesterday, it was very cute. My 1st asked were the big belly was and moved on to popcorn pretty quick 😄

The scan went really good. Measuring 2 days ahead now. It was 4 days behind at the dating scan. And all measurements were good. He could define the sex and wrote it on the screen monitor. Our last bub will be a baby girl. We are still over the moon. He told us he was 99.9% sure andbwe wouldnt need to keep shopping receipts 😆

[TiffSal]

I really wouldnt knownwhat to look for a nb but this are the scans i got yesterday.

Ash ill have a look at your thread x

Is anyone doing a harmony test? Part of me wishes I didn't get it b/c I'm soooo nervous!!! Does anyone know how long it takes to get the results? I forgot to ask my Dr......

[Ashforblue]

How far along are you TiffSal? I forget!

[TiffSal]

Thanks Ash. Im 12+6 ash.

A gf of mine did the harmony test she had the results 1 week later...she is not telling what shes having...

The anatomy scan wont be far for you Ash? Im saying this but i wiuld go nuts waiting😊

[Ashforblue]

Well I think the next scan will be in October... We already had the harmony done so I think I'll know within the next 1 1/2 weeks... Just really nervous to have it be known so soon....

[TiffSal]

Oh you go it done!! (Sorry i didnt read your post well) Very very exciting!!! Got my fingers crossed for a big blue news!! That was me all morning before my scan yesterday sooo nervous but it will soon be here!! Keep us posted

I went ahead and called my regular OB's office. I scheduled my appointments with them. I go in to see the nurse on Monday and then my OB on Sept 14th. I am hoping I'll get a scan done soon!! I am trying so hard not to think about my hcg test on Saturday. It's really hard!!!

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

I made my first prenatal appointment with the midwives. I gave up waiting for the group that is geographically closer to me and called the ones that did my care with ds4.
I was so happy that they were willing to bring me in asap (still 2 weeks from now though) and set me up with an ultrasound to confirm what im cooking up (as far as singleton or not...) right after instead of waiting on the 12 wk scan! So I'll have a more accurate dating scan to book my "harmony" test too :)

[momamia4]

Awesome hitme!! I'm hoping they'll do a scan when I see my OB. She's been really good in the past as far as doing things just to ease my mind, lol! Luckily she has a few ultrasound machines right in the office. My old OB didn't have that. Or.... Maybe I'll get lucky and my hcg will shoot up and I'll get an ultrasound next week, lol!!! I doubt it but here's to hoping! :)

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

you gotta keep the faith! Trust in A higher power that whatever happens was meant to be.
I wish they had a us machine at the clinic but they don't, even the ob that I started with last time didnt. I hope she cooperated with you. When's your next draw?

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Im not fully up to speed on the differences between harmony, the "free tests" we have here and the paid one that I'll be doing.
In ontario we have a free 2 part blood test called IPS that screens for downs, trisomy 18 and spina bifida and they're done after 11 wks (between 11+13 wks) and then a second blood draw between 15-18 wks. These tests are used in combo with the NT scan. Im not sure how harmony screens - we do have harmony here, but I know if our ips test come back positive we can apply for our medical coverage to pay for harmony (approx $1000)
The one im getting at 10 wks is similar I guess but less, according the their web page; or maybe it's just the gender reveal that is this price but like $325 or something.

Congratulations on your baby girl Tiff. I am really delighted for you.
My OB does offer the harmony test but we have opted not to have it. I am low risk and the test is not covered by my health insurance so would be expensive.

[TiffSal]

Thank you moma! You can always ask to scan if the ob has the machine? Gl to you and hitme

Thank you pearl. I guess the ramzi theory was wrong for me but yours about smaller sizes was true 😁 good luck with your scan next week!!

[XXforhubby]

Hey Tiff, I noticed upon looking at your sway you used acijel. How did you use it and how often? Also did you take cranberry supplement or just drink the juice? Did you take a zinc supplement too- if so how often? Lastly, how often did you take baby aspirin?

Thanks!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[TiffSal]

Thank you everyone. I really didnt think it would of worked being on the diet for only 5 weeks...

Xx i didnt everything that could sway for a girl.
I used acijel every 2nd day. I dumped 10min after finishing bd and use half the applicator for acijel.
I drank a glass of cranberry juice every morning on the diet and tablets as well in the afternoon. With vit C.

Zinc everyday. We had oysters the day before the attempt as it is full of zinc but my ph went really high up. I cant remember about baby aspirin but i think it would of been the 3 days leading up to attempt.
I took zyrtec at the same time.
Hubby was taking licorice root tablets but half the recommended dose for couple weeks...

The actal attempt was totally different from how my boys were made....

I hope i answered everything 😊

[XXforhubby]

Thank you!!! I'm just going through things again to prepare for my next sway! I can't believe that DH wants to try again!

Huge congrats Tiff! Enjoy [emoji175]!!

Well you are right I can expect the bleeding for a while to come. I had a second ultrasound, the bleed is still visible but baby is going strong :)

FWIW I don't think your U/S shows a boy nub at all :agree:

Ash I'm going to have a look at yours now!!

Yaybaby again I'm so sorry your HCG has confirmed your fears from the bleeding. My thoughts are with you mommas :hugs:

[covered in blue]

Glad your little bubba is growing well True :). Long may it continue!

my nub looked abit more obvious during the scan. It's still flat but I'm just so confused as to why it had that bright extra bulb on the top already. Time will tell I guess.

I'm slowly getting some energy back. We moved the boys rooms around today and made the office into DS1 bedroom so now he has his own space. He loves it. He's so excited he won't sleep lol.

Keep well everyone and grow strong little by babies xx

[True Blue]

Good to hear your starting to feel better :)
I truly don't think the nub can be used to guess quite yet, everywhere I've looked in the past has said they are still identical at this stage :) we never truly know what we're seeing on ultrasounds I've seen lines and blobs appear and disappear out of nowhere :D

[XXforhubby]

Thanks xx.

It is really nice if you are ready for it too! So great! When is baby due?

I'm due either Nov 27th or Dec 3rd- they can't make up their minds, since he is measuring 1 week ahead.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I will be ready completely, since we are not trying/not preventing as soon as he is born! The prospect of having two so close in age freaks me out a bit, but I only want to try for 1 year only! I've never tried to conceive while nursing such a little one, but I always get AF back early. So, from when he is born until March/April I'll be using Replens/Acijel religiously to cut the odds of conception a bit...hopefully! Then when we have better timed BDing, we will just use a small amount of Acijel/Replens as a lube if needed to make BDing more comfortable.

Ahhhh!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[TiffSal]

Thanks true and junie😊 we still cant believe it but havent told anyone yet...waiting to see our parents mainly.

Xx welcome to your 3rd trimester 😊 my nephew was measuring 4 weeks ahead but was born at 40weeks....i dont think it means much....?

I would probably use half the applicator. When using a full applicator because the attempt ii didnt feel confortable to me...😦😖

[Ashforblue]

Yay True!! I'm so happy for you that baby is growing nice & strong !!! I have been thinking about you a lot & praying!:cheerteam:

[XXforhubby]

So happy True that you saw a healthy baby!!! SCH causes so much worry! I can't find the study my OB emailed me....anyway with an SCH there is a 9 % chance of a miscarriage if there is a heartbeat seen, which is the same as a normal healthy pregnancy. Yay!!!

True, so pleased to read that your bubba is growing big and strong!

Ash - v excited to hear the results of your harmony test, hope they come in sooner rather than later!

I am just at the end of AF so looking forward to our attempt and hoping I don't have to wait too long to ovulate - I have worked out that if I am successful this cycle we can just about squeeze into this due date group - here's hoping!

[Ashforblue]

Thanks Foxcub!!! Im so nervous it's not even funny! Driving myself nuts, wishing I could go in for another US real quick to see if I can get a better nub shot!!!

I'm so crossing everything that I possibly can, that you catch that egg this month & are in this due date group!! I miss you Foxcub!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to super stalk the sept 2ww to see an amazing update from :bluesperm::cheerteam::heart:you!!:fx::bluesperm:: cheerteam::Flower::heart:

I went into the ER last night because I started having horrible cramping. They got me right in (which was a miracle because they had a 6 hour wait!!!). They did blood work and my levels didn't go up much: 513 from 303 on Tuesday. They did 2 ultrasounds and found the gestational sac in my uterus but it is abnormally shaped and empty. I am going in for a d&c on Tuesday. I don't see the need to continue with the pregnancy when my levels are so low and there is no fetal pole. They didn't feel it was likely that I'd have another sac in one of my tubes. I also discovered that I have a giant cyst on my left ovary that I'll need to have drained because it is so big that it poses a risk for my ovary to twist from the weight (it's 4.3cm).

I'm really just glad to be able to move forward and not have to worry anymore. Because of my history of miscarriage, they are going to do genetic testing on the tissue to see if they can figure out a cause for the abnormal pregnancy. Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts. It was a rough night.

My RE's office made it sound like I should be going in there for the d&c. When I said confronted her on it, the nurse acted like she claimed I should do what I feel the most comfortable with. Then she told me that if I go through my RE, I won't be able to get it done on Tuesday because he'd have to see me first. So, it would probably take at least a week or more to schedule it. That is after my kids are back in school and I really don't want to have to deal with this right when the kids start school. She also said that my hcg will need to be followed by whoever does the d&c and acted like I wouldn't be able to have my RE's office do that if I go to the hospital to have the d&c. Wtf?! Why is she making this so hard on me? I told her that the d&c was never offered or even suggested this whole 2 weeks and that I haven't even seen my RE through all of this. I think I am going to just go to my regular OB and screw my stupid RE. Their office is seriously pissing me off. I've never experienced such horrible bedside manner from a nurse before in my life.

[True Blue]

Momamia I'm so so sorry to read this and even more so with how you are being treated - I'm angry on your behalf :( Talk to your regular OB for sure you need to do what works best for you. Love and hugs to you :hug2:

[momamia4]

Thanks True!

[ImmiNAddi]

So sorry to hear this Momamia :( I don't understand why there are so many of us in one select group are having these non-viable pregnancies :( I start to question the swaying, but then I have heard stats like 1 in 4 pregnancies result in a miscarriage - which is a large unbelievable number (I never knew this) and I guess you can see that if you have a large group of women in a 'study' or controlled area (like a forum) you will see this stat pop up :sadflwr:

I hope your Dr's office pulls their socks up real fast. I hope your regular OB can help you in a much nicer way than that too. Thinking of you xox

Tiffsal - OMG - congrats on having a little pink one cooking - I am hoping one day that will happen for me! ;)

Thanks Immi!

[Pearl327]

Momamia I am so sorry for your loss and having to deal with unprofessional people at a difficult time. I hope you have a healthy bubs soon.

True I am delighted that your little one is doing ok. There has been too much sadness here in the last while.

[TiffSal]

Thanks fox. All the baby dust going your way for your next cycle! Thanks immi. Hope to see you here back soon.

How you been feeling true?

Momamia im sorry about your loss. Hope you will get ll the answers you need. Sorry to hear you came accross a rude nurse. I really think they should know how to have people skills!

[Ashforblue]

Momamia~ just want to say sorry again & that you you should see someone else ASAP!!! How dare they treat someone like that!! Grrrrr.... I'm praying that you get your rainbow baby soon!

Is everyone else doing okay???

[Junie]

I'm so so sorry momamia. It sounds like the nurse was absolutely awful! Is there anyone you can discuss her bedside manner with? Also I don't think it is really necessary to test out the Hcg I think more important is to have an ultrasound done about a week after the miscarriage just to make sure everything really is clear and looks as it should. That is what my normal obgyn did and then I used cheapie HPTs to tell when my levels were finally back down to 0. I ovulated about one week later then normal after having the d&c. I hope the additional testing gives you some answers.

[Junie]

Immi- whenever I'm in a due date type group I always notice that the 1 in 4 statistic about miscarriages is unfortunately true. It's awful but I suppose it is better to lose the baby early on rather then have a baby who won't be able to live. But that doesn't help to make the situation any easier.

[Junie]

I have my next appt on Friday and I'm hoping that everything goes well. Then I will schedule the panorama test for as quickly as possible after.

[Ashforblue]

How exciting Junie!! Fxfx that your babe is healthy & happy in there!

I'm in such a strange place mentally ATM. I've only told a few people IRL about this pregnancy and DH and I don't talk about it much. I'm just like obsessively checking this site for updates lol. I just want to know the gender already even though I'm 90% sure it's another boy lol. These next few weeks are going to go so slowly! Anyone else feel like this? Please someone save me from myself :)

This is completely normal CIB! Hang in there! The waiting is rough! I started to bond with this baby once my SCH stopped bleeding/having discharge, and I knew the gender. Oddly enough, I didn't have any inkling of this was a girl or a boy.

My DH somehow knew it was a boy and has always been fine with it- so he says. He struggles with wanting a fourth and wanting a DD. he goes back and forth and probably always will! I feel like I can have a better sway this time around, but BFing worries me a little. I've never tried to TTC early on before. At least I always get AF back super early!!!


[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

[True Blue]

I have no feelings on gender either, none at all. I do think the bleeding has turned me off emotionally to a point. I'm quite happy to accept either and although I'm not feeling it's a girl or a boy I can't imagine it being a boy if that makes any sense :D

[Ashforblue]

This pregnancy has been weird for me as well.... Even though I have all the symptoms & am still dealing with nausea, lol, it doesn't feel as real as my last ones.... I also want to know the gender yet I don't at the same time, if that makes any sense.. The results will most likely come this week & I'm scared to death! I think I'm going to have them put the gender result in an envelope then buy a tub of almond ice cream & sparkling grape juice for me & beer for my hubby... That way we can open it together & either celebrate or commiserate, lol!
I don't have any feelings on the gender of this baby but my husband is adamant that it's a boy.... My girls both say boy as well.... We will see!!!

[Pearl327]

I have no clue on gender either. Most days I don't even feel pregnant. I hope I get a get a good nub shot on the 9th.

[Ashforblue]

I hope you do too Pearl! It's coming up, you'll have to post your pic!!

[momamia4]

Well, I cancelled my d&c. I am freaking out too much about it. So, I am just going to wait it out. I have an appointment with my OB on Sept 14th, so we'll see what's going on then. She'll do an ultrasound at my appointment, so I'll get to see if anything has changed. Then I'll go from there.

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

[covered in blue]

Thank you XX. I guess gender is such a huge thing this pregnancy that I just can't bond properly with it till I know what it is. Ash that sounds like a great plan :).

Oh momamia Xx big hugs honey! What is it that's scaring you so much about the D&C? I'm sure you are totally fine to wait as long as you need. what a tough little journey you are on xx

[TiffSal]

Gl junie and pearl for your upcoming appointments 😊

I know what you mean covered. I was just so stressed out the last few weeks you will know soon.

Xoco momamia

[momamia4]

Covered, I'm just concerned that I'm jumping the gun. I'm going to pretend like everything is normal just for a little while and see what my OB says.

Have you seen your OB yet momamia?

[covered in blue]

Sounds like a plan :). Praying for a little miracle!

[Ashforblue]

Whoops, saw your other post momamia, disregard my question! Hugs to you, you should always do what you feel is right!! I'm really sorry you have to go through this right now....

[momamia4]

Thanks CIB and Ash! :)

[Junie]

Covered in blue- I think what you're feeling is totally normal. My last pregnancy I felt the same but since that ended in miscarriage this time I just worry about the baby being healthy and just really don't care about the sex. But it will still be nerve wracking for me to find out the blood results when that day comes!

Ok ladies, I'm struggling here.... They said my results would be here by Wednesday & I'm freaking out!! I mean, this is it.... No more chances. This will be my third C-section, so I can't have anymore. Really, 3 is all I can handle anyway! I wish, so bad, that I could've had a clearer nub shot just so I could have an inkling!! I know I'll be fine if it's a girl, but wow, what a ton of anxiety I'm feeling!!! I must say, I do have some super cute names I like If it is a girl!!! This waiting stinks... I'm also hoping that I can feel baby moving soon, does anyone remember when that starts?

[momamia4]

Ash, I'm sorry you're having so much anxiety!! I hope they call you soon with the results. I think it's usually around 16 weeks that you can start feeling the baby move.

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

[Ashforblue]

Thanks Momamia, I sound ridiculous even complaining about it.....

[momamia4]

Ash, we wouldn't all be here if gender wasn't a concern. I totally get exactly how you're feeling! :D Don't be down on yourself about it. :bighug:

[Foxcubblue]

Not long to go Ash! You can do this last bit! Try for major distraction to pass the time. Can't wait to here the news, the waiting is the hardest part!xox

[True Blue]

Good Luck Ash I am too excited for you :)

[Pearl327]

Best of luck Ash. I really hope you have your results tomorrow. Waiting is the worst.

I plan on going for my 4th csection if all goes well this time. It is a compromise for me as both myself and DH always wanted 5. We both come from happy big families and wanted to give our kids the same sibling support and company.
My neighbour has had 5 c sections no problems but got her tubes tied during the 5th.

On a happy note my DD started school this morning
I will take the pic down again tomorrow. But here she is and I am one proud mamma

I think I usually feel mine around 16 or 17 wks. But I think it seemed sooner with each one!

Morning sickness is kicking my ass. I know it's going to get worse too. Im just trying to get by with 2 rowdy boys, and run my business successfully, all the while with zero support other than you guys bc no one knows and DH like usual doesnt outwardly act like he cares nor does he do anything to try and make things easier on me. In fact he bugs for sex constantly now and I really have zero interest.

Thanks for the support ladies, made me feel better:)

Are your Drs. Pretty supportive over there with more then 3 sections Pearl? Or are they considered high risk too?
Hitme~ I feel your pain! I woke up & threw up, lol!!! Hope it eases up for you & your hubs gives you more support!!

[TiffSal]

Good luck Ash! Keep us posted! That was me last week before my scan!

Im having my 3rd cesarienne. I dont think doctors would let me tey naturally. I know someone who had 4 c sections and her last one was natural but she had to fight for it...

I think you feel baby around 15 16 week? Sometimes i wonder if im already feeling the kicks. I love it

Hitme i hope if will calm down soon. Ginger usually helps.

Pearl what a cute pic!! Hope your dd has a good day at school

[covered in blue]

Hang in there Ash! Not long now xx. I totally feel the same.

Pearl your daughter looks adorable in her school uniform! I hope she had a lovely day. They are so precious xx

Big hugs Hitme xx you are doing a great job!

[Ashforblue]

Oh yes, I meant to tell you earlier how cute your kiddos look Pearl!

No news today.... Hope it comes in tomorrow & puts me out of my misery!

[momamia4]

Hitme, I can totally relate! I made the mistake of taking my prenatal on an empty stomach yesterday. It promptly came back up. Not doing that again!! I have found that if I eat some high carb food like 15 minutes before I plan to eat a meal, it seems to help. I'm not sure if it's a blood sugar thing or what. I hope you feel better soon!! The ginger pills are also a life saver!! :) Sorry DH isn't being helpful. :(

I have to get these ginger pills. Basically I can stay in decent shape by pretty much constant snacking but after 5 months of LE that's brutal on my system too

[Pearl327]

Thanks everyone. She had a great day and is really looking forward to going again today.

There is no limit to the number of c-sections that you can have the doctors just make you aware of the increased risks involved. As my brother in law who is a doctor said to me have as many kids as you want if you are having c-sections without problems as they are hardly going to turn you away when you turn up pregnant. Which may not have been the most responsible piece of advice but I think he was saying that everyone is different and as I have never had any issues in pregnancy or post c-section and all going well this time then a fourth would not seem too risky for me.

[Ashforblue]

That's good to know Pearl!! They always told me that it's super risky, which of course scared the crap out of me!!! Im even nervous to get this c-section! I've never had problems with my sections either & they did tell me my cuts were really well done....

[momamia4]

Well, my glucose came back very slightly elevated (137 and they want it below 135). So now I have to go in for the 3 hour glucose test. :/ I'm not looking forward to it.

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

[babypinkno3]

Hi all, sorry I've been MIA. Yesterday we went in for an u/s and we finally got to see the heartbeat. Again, I'm measuring small, should be 8w1d but measured at 7w5d, but they didn't adjust my due date, so official EDD is 4/11.

We are super anxious to find out if we are having a third boy or a little girl. DS1 says "sister" when we ask, and if we ask if it's a "baby brother" he says no. According to Ramzi, it's a girl because baby was very much on the left side, but then again so were my two older sons so I'm not placing any value on that. Either way, we are just so happy to have a confirmed pregnancy and can't wait for April!

I cant wait for all the updates on what you all are having!

[Pearl327]

Momamia you are having glucose tests already. Did you have problems with it in your other pregnancies. I hope you pass your glucose test.

Babypink you are only a few days behind. You could be having a smaller baby girl. Great news that all is going well.

Ash I have had good sections too that healed quickly and cleanly. I also wear a tummy wrap after and when all healed do abdominal massages to reduce scar adhesions which causes the biggest problems in repeat sections

[momamia4]

Pearl, they tested me early because I'm overweight, I've had a baby over 9lbs, and my mom and sister both have Type 2 diabetes. Apparently those are risk factors which require early testing. I was just as surprised as you that they are testing me for it already. I'm irritated about my results because the lab lady drew my blood for the 1 hour test 15 mins too early. I think that's why my level came back slightly elevated. She said she felt bad that I had to wait for so long. Ummm.... It's called a 1 hour glucose test for a reason lady! I think she just wanted to go home early and I was the last patient of the day. I better pass the darn 3 hour test. I've never had gestational diabetes in any of my pregnancies. I have to go in next Friday, September 11th. I have to stay there for 4 hours. :/ Ewww.... I'm going to be so bored.

Babypink, so glad you got to hear the heartbeat! How exciting!! :D

[Foxcubblue]

Oh yes, I meant to tell you earlier how cute your kiddos look Pearl!

No news today.... Hope it comes in tomorrow & puts me out of my misery!


Noooooo! What time of day is it for you, Ash? I have just sat down to my 15 thousandth meal of the day (feels like it!) after hectic day and was so excited hoping to see your update!!! The suspense is too much!!!

[Ashforblue]

Haha Foxcub! No news today, booooo :(. I decided not to call & big them though until Monday... I have dogshow this weekend which should keep me busy & I'm actually feeling a bit more relaxed about it! Maybe I'm just too scared to know right now, LOL!! When I went in to my regular Dr. The other day, the nurse told me I was probably having my third girl!:suprise:

Is it true that boys usually measure bigger then girls in early pregnancy?

[Ashforblue]

Oh & congrats on hearing baby heartbeat Babypink!

Momamia, hope your next glucose test goes well!!

[Pearl327]

People love to tell you that you are having the same gender again. I was making breakfast in the canteen in work just chatting to a male colleague who is expecting his 2nd girl soon when another woman butted in to our conversation and said "you are expecting another girl, but you have one of them already" having gone through GD I was just in a rage for him at stupid comments people make.

Is it true that boys usually measure bigger then girls in early pregnancy?

ALL of my boys, DS1, DS2, and this sweet boy, have either measured 1-2 weeks ahead! When they said at my first scan at 5w6d the fetus was measuring 6w8d despite the gestational sac measuring right on target with my known ovulation date, I knew we were having our third boy. This is the only thing that has held true for me.

So I might break down & call them today instead of waiting til Monday, what can I say? I'm weak, haha

How's everyone feeling?

[Atsaukina1]

Just got bfp 12dpo. Edd 5-10 or 5-14 depending on conception or lmp dates. My 4 sons were all 10+ lbs. ( No GD) and my fundal height always measured on dates( no ultrasounds) so not sure why some people measure ahead. How many May mommies here?? Swayed girl and have a long wait ahead:)

[Atsaukina1]

Ash4blue- Nope. My large boys never measured ahead and my dd and 1st ds were exact same pregos from how much weight I gained(25) to symptoms( nausea but no vomiting) to going in labor exactly 41 weeks and being born minutes apart( natural birth team green) everyone thought dd was ds and my ds was a dd. Lol. You never know!

Thanks so much ladies, we are over the moon! Now to think of creative ways to tell our kids & parents!! When I first looked at the sheet it said Gender : Female & I was heartbroken.... Till I looked down & saw male fetus, the gender was talking about me, LOL! Thank you soooo much Atomic, I'm so glad I found this site when I was so certain I was going to go with Shettles after my daughter was born!!! What a huge mistake that would have been!

I'm so sorry Momamia, I'll be praying for you.... :(

Ash- congrats on your first baby boy, they are tons of fun:) How did you find out so early? Genetic testing? I have always been team green and have never wanted or done genetic testing but I am conflicted this go around because of simple blood test.

[Ashforblue]

Yep, got the Harmony test done...... Wasn't planning on it, but when they offered I just couldn't say no!! I heard that soon this blood test will be the norm...

My husband actually teared up when we saw male, it was so sweet! He's been saying the whole time that it was a boy!

I had an appt today. I was measuring right on track at 9 weeks. Baby looked like a gummy bear but was moving a bit and the heart was beating! I'm scheduling the panorama test now but legally in Germany they can't give gender results before 14 weeks, and since my own Dr. doesn't do it and I have to go to a special lab I bet they won't make exceptions. However I'm sure I'm having another boy which I'm totally fine with. I'm just hoping that baby is healthy!!!

I had an appt today. I was measuring right on track at 9 weeks. Baby looked like a gummy bear but was moving a bit and the heart was beating! I'm scheduling the panorama test now but legally in Germany they can't give gender results before 14 weeks, and since my own Dr. doesn't do it and I have to go to a special lab I bet they won't make exceptions. However I'm sure I'm having another boy which I'm totally fine with. I'm just hoping that baby is healthy!!!

That is awesome news Junie! You have a great shot at hearing pink!

Momamia I am so sorry for your loss. Look after yourself

Junie I am glad your scan went well. You have no idea who you have in there yet so don't give up hope

[Ashforblue]

Junie I'm glad your babe is doing great! & like the others say, it could def be a pinkie!!

[Junie]

I'm seriously fine with whatever. A lot of stuff was going on and at the end I wasn't really swaying so that is why I assume it is probably another boy. But I have two really fantastic sons and love the idea of having three of a kind. I already bought a little blue onesie :)

[Foxcubblue]

Ash - posted on your other thread but wanted to say again how truly delighted I am for you!!! You must be absolutely over the moon, I can't even let myself imagine the feeling of hearing that news! :bluecheer:

[babypinkno3]

So sorry momamia.

Julie, congrats. I also have two boys. I'm preparing myself for a third boy as well but I have a tiny feeling that it might be a girl. Can't wait to find out.

[TiffSal]

Im sorry to heat momamia. Xoxo your way on this diffucult time for you and your family 😢

[TiffSal]

How nice junie! Glad to hear all went well x

Yep a hat trick of 3 boys is really very cool :) i had GD with Number 3 bc I was convinced he was a girl.... And bc it was my DHs first baby, and zero girls on his side so I was so wishful!
I actually have 4 of a kind lol and had no GD with number 4! Now that the 2 little ones are growing up close in age its soooo fun :). If this one is a boy it's fine - having 3 small boys will be adorable.

I'm 9 weeks +1 and my morning sickness has gotten worse! Normally it ends for me at 10 weeks and I hope that will be the case this time. I've never had it get worse before (as I already had it bad) its so miserable! Sorry I just had to moan a bit.

[Atsaukina1]

Oh gosh only got my bfp a few days ago don't even remind me what's to come lol. I usually get very tired and nauseous all day but don't vomit.

[daisy4]

Has anyone else been feeling cramps throughout the day? I have been feeling a lot of cramping on my left side constantly, I didn't feel this with my ds.

[Pearl327]

I had cramping the first two weeks after my BFP then again around 10 weeks which I assume was stretching pains.

[Ashforblue]

How far along are you again Daisy? If it's constant, you might want to call the Dr..... I had some cramping on & off in the begining but none that was constant...of course it could be round ligament pain!

[Ashforblue]

I'm sorry your feeling so sick Junie! I Still have nausea at 13 weeks!!! Usually mine is barely there & gone quick.... I can totally commiserate! Lemon water helps me.....

[daisy4]

I am 7 weeks. Yea I was thinking of calling the doctor but was not sure if its normal due to stretching. I also feel more cramping the days I am constantly running after my 2 year old, just trying to relax a little more and see if it makes a difference. I am getting an ultrasound on the 25th, so I might wait until then. Thanks

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

My morning sickness stuck around til I was 15 weeks last pregnancy. I sure hope that I have an easier time this time. I am just constantly nauseated but haven't thrown up yet....

[Ashforblue]

Yuck Hitme, nausea w/out throwing up is almost worst!! I always feel better after I throw up....

Daisy~ i think that's a great plan! Not too much longer!

Who finds out the gender next?

So everyone knows now that it's a boy... We did a gender reveal! We videotaped the girls jumping out of boxes with blue balloons & sent it to my family.... It was awesome!!

[Junie]

What a fun surprise for your family Ashforblue! I've also been sipping on lemon water constantly now and that seems to help.Thanks for the tip.

Daisy- When I overdo it I definitely feel more. I think as long as it isn't constant and feels more like stretching and not too sharp of pains that I wouldn't worry.

Hitme- I also rarely throw up. I just feel like I'm going to all the time. I also have had an awful taste in my mouth and have started gargling with a water /baking soda mix and that seems to help quite a bit. I hope we all start to feel better soon!

Ashforblue- I'm guessing I will have results from the blood test back at around 15 weeks. I don't think they will tell me earlier.So in about 6 weeks.

[Atsaukina1]

Is there anyone here team green??
I have never been prego in a real winter so this should be interesting. Getting in my last days of summer swimming and feeling great so far.

[covered in blue]

I'll have to wait for U/S to determine gender. Probably 4 or so weeks (I'm 11 now). I will have my NT scan next Thursday (will be 12 weeks 6 days) so I can start nubsessing again lol.

That sounds like such fun Ash! I told my parents about the pregnancy yesterday. I wrote it in the Father's Day card for Dad. He was laughing. They took it pretty well. I wasn't really sure what they were going to say. My Mum did ask me if I knew what sex it was and then went off in a little blurb how she hopes it's a girl but she guesses 4 boys would be ok too blah blah blah. I just can't escape the gender comments I know.

I hope all the morning sickness makes a quick exit for everyone.
Hope you all have a great day (or sleep) xx

[Pearl327]

I have never been team green and was thinking of doing it this time, but I like knowing and being organised. I don't tell family and friends though.

I hope I get some clues on Wednesday morning at my 14+3 appointment. I will be counting on you ladies as I don't think I could even find the nub.

[TiffSal]

Gl on your appointment pearl and covered. Pearl For some reason i thought you had one last Friday?

Junie im 14+3days and the nausea still comes and goes. It really took me on saturday i felt like i was about to pass out and vomit! My husbands driving makes me car sick too 😫

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

I just woke up - I had a dream that I had the genetics testing and got the call back and I was having a boy. Then I decided to do a tarot card reading which I have never done but oddly enough own a stack in real life, and it said something about having only boys. I cried. I thought I wouldn't have GD after having so many but I guess after swaying and putting so much "effort" into it; that I very well might have a fair case of it after all.

Part of me is wanting to wait til ultrasound now. Im feeling so crappy that I think I'd react to that news better if I was further along in my pregnancy. The flip side is if we decide to wait I will have to start telling. I'll be showing long before I can get an elective ultrasound even.

I had a dream like that hitme. I was having my gender scan and i got told boy. My heart dropped and very disappointed. I got up that morning felt very weird as my dream felt very real. But i did hear you get the opposite of your dream...which wa true for me when are u finding out

[Pearl327]

Tiff I had to change my appointment as it was clashing with the school collection and DDs swim lesson. I wasn't thinking of any of this when I made the appointment in early august.

Hitme I was convinced that DD was a boy. I even dreamed of my little boy. It was like I had lost my son when I found out DD was a girl. In the early stages of pregnancy with DS I was convinced that he was a girl no dreams that time and when I saw him on my 1st ultrasound I just knew my sway had worked.

[Ashforblue]

Oh man Hitme, I can't tell you how many crazy gender dreams the week I was waiting for the results! Even now I dream this baby pops out a girl! Someone tell me again how right the Harmony test is!!!

Anyways, I'm super excited about the upcoming ultrasounds Covered & Pearl! & I think that was a super cool way to tell your parents Covered!!! Yay, more Nubs to guess on!

Just saying that trying to come up with a boy name that hubby & I love is hard! Good thing I have time, lol

[Junie]

I have my blood test on Thursday! I wonder if they will bend the rules and tell me as soon as they get the results? I hope so!

Hitme- That dream sounds awful. Pregnancy dreams can be no fun.

[Ashforblue]

Omg, I hope they will Junie!!! Fxfx!

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Im still trying to figure out what im doing. We don't have harmony here but the same test under different names. We can actually get it done (NIPT) at life labs which is the big lab that has hundreds of locations across Canada. It's cheaper than harmony but does all the same thing. It's between 500-600, or I can do just gender for a couple hundred bucks at a more no name location....

I just reread the life labs testing and its "panorama" which I've heard of a few times on this site.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

So it's been decided. We'll be doing Panorama for the main 3 trisomies for $550 (includes gender) at 9 weeks if I can get a doctor to sign the paperwork in time. I see my midwife next week, and hope that she is able to sign it but it says "physician" on the form, not sure if they're picky about this kind of thing. 9 weeks is under 2 weeks away!

[Ashforblue]

Yay Hitme, that's so exciting!!!! I know my gender, but I'm itching for my 20 week scan now just so I can confirm...

On a fun note, I bought a couple boy outfits for myself for the very first time:heart: I'll take a pic in a little bit & post!

[Junie]

Hitme- That is what I'm doing! It also costs us about 500 Euros. However I think it is worth it to be able to do this type of testing with no risk to the baby.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Totally agree Junie! And ash I can't wait to see pics!
