Hitme :fx:
I hate getting cramps as well.... Hope they go away for you!

[XXforhubby]

My contractions feel like cramps, which make me nervous. I'm experiencing that now and pinching in my cervix. It happens twice an hour since 3:00pm yesterday. I'm probably dilating and effacing early like with DS1.

It's nerve wracking at any stage of pregnancy!!!


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

[Atsaukina1]

Hitme- I've only eaten meat one year of my life(18-19) and have 4 boys lol. If its meant to be it will be:)

[Atsaukina1]

Xx- anything they can do for that?

Big hugs Hitme xx. Congratulations on your new little wee man! I'm sure he will bring you a lot of joy even though I know you are probably a bit sad right now.

Hitme I'm sorry :hugs: I know it's not what you wanted to hear and we understand!! I'm certain we are facing into another DD too and I too feel I must somehow be set for girls.

Congratulations on your DS I'm sure he will be the greatest X X

[XXforhubby]

Huge hugs Hitme! Give yourself time- you have plenty of time to bond with this little guy. It's hard you know, when you gave it your all. But you did- you did everything you could! At least you tried instead of always wondering what would have happened if you swayed.

It just sucks. It will for awhile. Then one day it won't matter anymore. At least this is what my DH told me. I would do something special for yourself to try and cheer yourself up.

Hugs sweetie [emoji8]!!

Hitme, I am here if you need someone to talk to. I know you're going through a rough time. I wish I could help more. I like to tell myself, we have so many sons because we need to build a protective army of boys to protect our future little girl. :hugs:

[TaytumJ]

Big hugs and Congrats Hitme! I know you're probably going to need some time and we all totally understand that. I hope you don't beat yourself up over the moon or your sway - we're all only human and do what we can do. Take care of you and the little man!

[Atsaukina1]

Congrats on another awesome boy. I swayed last time also, its floating in sways somewhere, but alas it wasn't meant to be.
Having one gender is pretty unique when someone says 5 boys you are immediately in rock star mom status. I know its gonna take some time to sink in, I wanted to sway again immediately, but of course didn't get ppaf until 21m. Of course once the lil guy is here you can't imagine life without them.

[Gagirl0221]

TaytumJ , I'm new on here and wanted someones advise. I am starting my sway for a boy to ttc in Jan. I have questions about the High everything diet and wanted to see if you may could help me? But anyone advise is appreciated. I have 3 beautiful girls and have talked my husband in to trying one more time.

[TiffSal]

Congratulations hitme on your baby boy.

It takes me about a year to get af back - we won't sway again. It's HT or nothing and I'm not sure we will be great candidates at 41/43. (Estimated time)

I do like the rock star status lol

5 boys will be fantastic- I know this for sure! I'm so happy for you hitme and I do think you are truly blessed!!! I'm sorry you didn't hear girl but I do believe that we our "given" the right families for us :)

[Junie]

I also would go HT if we tried again. I can't see me wanting another baby enough to go through the hassle of convincing DH but since we're still young I guess there is a 1-5% chance LOL. I think your sway was so good hitme, I hope you aren't blaming yourself as my H said at a family get together he is the one who can't seem to make girls ;) :)

[Pearl327]

Hitme congratulations on your baby boy. The best sways in the world can lead to opposites

[Foxcubblue]

Hitme - hugs and congrats simultaneously xx

[Ashforblue]

Who's next to find out? I know a few of us are getting pretty close to 20 weeks..... Mandy, have you found out yet?

[Atsaukina1]

Hitme- I know this is a swaying site and some of us have fun and some of us damn near kill ourselves trying but really there is nothing we can do. It's that one second and fate is decided. Who are we to decide that? This is my last shot too. At 37 and with an almost 16 year old I'm freaking how old we are gonna be for this last one so this is def. The last one for us.

[mandyp85]

I haven't been posting on this thread for a while but I hope all you ladies are doing well?

Congratulations on your boys junie and hitme, I know you are finding it hard at the moment hitme and I hope you have all the support you need to help you get to a better place soon, I'm pleased for you that you may have a little ht light at the end of the tunnel. Xxx
Hi ash, no I haven't found out yet, I'm nearly 19 weeks now so realistically could find out any day but I'm still undecided as to whether or not to stay team green. I have a routine 20 week scan next week so if I get any gender clues I may just go ahead with a gender scan. Scared of finding out and having to deal with the disappointment. Xxx

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Thanks again mamas. I'm feeling much better about it today. I know he's going to be a fabulous fit around here, and my ht research is also a little of a saviour. Still not sure is going to happen but it's easier than squashing the full dream into the ground and calling it done. I do not want to sway again. It will be ht or nothing most likely. I'll be 41 or 42, and have to be prepared to dump a lot of money into it... And maybe come out empty handed. I'll feel like a high rolling gambler if I can get my hands on the funds lol
But Dh and I agree it's better than a mustang or a new kitchen or home Reno.... That stuff isn't for life.

I think hot cooked shrimp is fine healthygirl. I'm not sure about the cold stuff either.

[Atsaukina1]

Love the name. My boys didn't have names for week+ after birth lol.so hard when you have to pick a boy and girl name that I just pick nothing lol. I don't even want to think name right now:)

[Pearl327]

Glad you are feeling better Hitme and I love the name Pearson. It is fantastic that your DH is supportive of HT in the future. You will have plenty of time to research it and decide on your options.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

It's ugly. What I've found out is that it really comes down to your prestesting, but the average success of love birth at my age that I anticipate being at for PGD ivf is 11% first try, at 3 tries it was still less than 35% ... We're talking like $45k ish maybe and sti walk away with nothing. This is such a let down of a week... I am going into that stage where I am mad at my natural emotions. I'll gonna stop posting for a bit bc I really don't want to be a Debbie downer every day.

[covered in blue]

You are fine Hitme. Would you consider donor egg or embryo? Embryo would be the cheapest option. That would be my choice I think. I wanted to do donor embryo this time instead of swaying but DH said he wouldn't go for it till we had one more try ourselves first. You could maybe do a cycle and if nothing to transfer then go donor?

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

I assumed that would be more for some reason but hells yes. My boys all look like their dad anyway.. My genes won't come through lol!!

Thanks for the tip - more to research

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[HealthyGirl]

Hitme sorry it's been such an emotional roller coaster. Whatever decision you make I wish you the best of luck.

Can someone tell me you can do either harmony or panaroma?
I was the impression that it can be done as early as 9 weeks but my obgyn said its done after 11 weeks and that I need to be referred to a genetic counselor first.
Is the info on 11 weeks correct?
What's the purpose to genetic counselor?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes - well you ask for an embryo that has already had PGD. So they would probably be leftovers from other couples doing gender selection. I think they quoted me $7,500usd which includes all the legals and the transfer so you would need to add pre testing and meds to that.
Become a dream member (it's only like $12) and start a thread there in the HT form. There is a few who have done it there. Beans and H4K off the top of my head. I'm sure they will be able to answer all your questions :)

Dreaming I agree that your nub is flatter than the other but they are similar. If you don't feel ready just yet that's fine too. Hugs xx. Just take it a day at a time and go when you feel ready.

Has anyone else popped out? I saw a friend at the park yesterday and she looked straight at me and said "you have some exciting news that you've not told me!" I can't hide this any longer. We will have to do bump pics soon :)

[Bobster]

What a lot to catch up on...
Huge congratulations to covered on your pink bundle.
Hitme I'm sorry to see your sway didn't work but I'm so glad baby was well and you are looking to the future at ht ways.

I feel like I'm showing already at 10 weeks! I don't have my 12 week scan until I'm 13+2 weeks on 20th October. I'm so nervous about seeing a boy nub but I know it's going to happen and want it over with so I can adjust and get used to it. I hate the unknown so much! Who's next to find out?

[babypinkno3]

Me and you Bobster are exactly the same. I just know in going to hear boy and part of me wants it over with. I went shopping today for baby stuff and the girl stuff jumped out at me but I felt out of place even looking at it. I saw a few boy items I really wanted but I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself. I'd like to just know already. The guessing was fun but I'm done now! :D

[covered in blue]

Goodluck with your nubs everyone! I was the same. Terribly nervous. And now that I know it's a girl I still haven't bought anything or told anyone IRL. I'm too scared. I feel like I'm just waiting for some strange twist of fate to come. I guess it just takes time to get used to everything xx

[DreamingPink2015]

Seeing a nub on the scan is definately a roller coaster
Good luck and hope u see something to hold hope on
Make sure you post your nub here Bobster

I was shocked to see a girl nub when I went in st 13 weeks as I was so expecting to see boy
Held on to hope that I might have a chance and now more and more I compare to others I guess the opposite feeling

[Atsaukina1]

Those nubs scans seem like torture. I'd rather pay for a 99% blood test than play guessing game with that.
Good luck everyone.

They totally are! I'd have done the blood test to but we don't have that option here :(

Had to go buy boots and tried desperately hard to not let my gaze fall over girl clothes at the store. I'm not a raging mess of tears but I know it's bc I'm clinging to ht. that being said in the back of my mind is so much doubt.

I can't remember who posted about harmony vs panorama - but I can only speak of panorama. I called Natera myself bc I really wanted to confirm. So if you have had a dating scan and/or you know you're at least 9 weeks panorama is super awesome and fast.

I have had it done in all of my pregnancies. I didn't ever do the bloodwork portion that is offered only the scan. Have them book it when you are 13 weeks so you can have a clear idea on gender. The cut off is 13w6days for a NT scan.

With this guy, I had mine done at 13w5d and he was measuring a week ahead. We saw very clearly a sac and a penis. 13 weeks is great for determining gender early, at least to rule out if it's a boy!!


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

[HealthyGirl]

That's my thinking. If I can tell Gender at 13 weeks I want to see if it's worth it to pay for the panaroma at 11 weeks.
Maybe I will just do the NT ultrasound. What kinda of shot should I ask for at that ultrasound?




Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Atsaukina1]

I try to limit ultrasounds so don't do unnecessary sonograms(none) and try to limit Doppler use( ultrasound)
I've always had a regular cycle or planned pregnancy so do not need dating scans. If I really had no idea I would get a dating scan. Weird your doctor wouldn't write you rx for easy peasy non invasive blood work but would recommend scan? I would question that. That blood work is becoming pretty standard at least to recommend to moms.

[XXforhubby]

You don't need to ask. They have to take measurements of everything. They have to look at all parts of the baby, including sex organs, to determine the "risk" for any abnormality. You will get plenty of shots including potty shots, profile shots, shots of all the organs, you will see the heart beat and fill with blood, etc.

I've had several friends hear girl and then later hear boy.

[HealthyGirl]

I haven't see him yet.
I don't think he will say no but he wants me to see a genetic counselor.
I've already had a ultrasound at 6 weeks. Will have one at 8 weeks. And probably one at 12 weeks.
Is this too many ultrasounds? Should I be worried?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's personal choice really. You always have the right to say no if it's not something you want. I've personally not read any studies that make me think that pregnancy ultrasound is not safe. (And I studied physics, anatomy, and physiology at university so it's in my background). But I know others feel it isn't safe, or is too much of an unknown and I respect that too. So I guess it's best to you weigh up the pros and cons and then decide.
You probably don't need one at 8 weeks considering you've had one already. Saying all that though I had a ton of scans with DS1. I was constantly bleeding for 10 weeks quite heavily at times and I totally lost count of how many I had so I think 3 isn't hugely excessive. Especially if they are just quick :)

[HealthyGirl]

[Atsaukina1]

If you have reason to see a genetic counselor then see one but just for the test no, its a regular recommended test.
Why so many early ultrasounds? I thought in the US only the 20+ one was recommended?
There are different studies for and against "routine" ultrasounds and of course mall, sneak peak 3d ultrasounds. I posted a big China study the other day.

But it wouldn't only be 3 because people usually get them between 14 and 20 and later. Plus use of dopplers are ultrasounds. In 99 when I had me first was not even offered unless there was a medical reason.routine us have went up and up and have not helped out the US maternal deaths not one bit. Of course if they are medically indicated no one is questioning that. There are risks to everything and we have to weigh them but when we say personal choice its blurred by what culture/ medical doctors have ked us to believe and not question are safe.

[covered in blue]

It's a bit like the vaccines debate. It could go on forever. If you wanted maybe you could start an ultrasound thread? I'm sure you would get more responses and that would leave this one free for general pregnancy support etc.

[Junie]

In Germany we get ultrasounds almost every appt (so basically once a month in the beginning) and I'm not worried at all. If you are worried you can always choose to not do any ultrasounds or only 1 or 2.

[Junie]

Once I see some peer reviewed studies on the subject with a clear negative correlation I could see changing my opinion but so far I've seen nothing of the sort. I think talking to your Dr. and making your own decision on the subject is the best bet.

Also in Germany we have to have a medical consultation with the Dr before having the harmony or panorama test done so as to understand exactly how the test works and help understand what the results can mean. Maybe meeting with the genetic counselor is similar?

[Bobster]

Well you can officially see my bump now when my bladder is full and I'm lying on my back with an empty stomach. It's raised more on the right side which it was with my ds. I'm so convinced I'm carrying another ds. He was raised more on the right all the way through my pregnancy up to the labour. My bump was almost lop-sided as he sat on the right all the time. I feel a bit sad about it as I'm blaming myself for all the multiple attempts :( I only had one chance and I feel like I've blown it a bit. Sorry to be a downer.

[Bobster]

Does anyone know the link between right and left sided implantation and gender? I'm not sure where I read that more girls are on the left and more boys are on the right. I know about Ramzi but that is about placental location isn't it. Roll on 13 week scan on 20th! Feeling stressed as its approaching.

[True Blue]

The theory is left side girls, right side boys but I don't believe in it.

XXforhubby had confirmed left side ovulation & left side implantation and she's having her 3rd boy so it doesn't always hold true.

You won't see any as its unethical to do studies on prego women:) we are the studies. Just like the decades of xrays they did no prego women:)
That is why china study is interesting because they use aborted babies :(
Germany probably has it right w the geneticist because if you get good or bad news in America you get it on the phone and are left to deal with whatever news by yourself

http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/50-in-utero-human-studies-confirm-risks-prenatal-ultrasound/

At some point though the baby is already developed. I have read the studies too because my 4th was high risk and I had to have u/s every 1-2 weeks for the last part of my pregnancy and I think it's probably like everything else, if you approach it sanely and not go all Tom Cruise having an ultrasound in the house doing it every day. He's perfectly normal give or take a little "kid weirdness". :)

Some of the studies are also misleading because people who have had issues during pregnancy have more ultrasounds and more issues = more issues regardless of the ultrasounds.

Even the most dangerous things ever 110% proven to cause harm during pregnancy only cause harm a fraction of the time. Like Retin A which is one of hte most dangerous things ever, only caused birth defects 20% of the time. So with things that aren't glaringly obvious that practically everyone has done and yet most people have perfectly healthy kids after that, personally I suspect those things are probably NOT a super huge deal for the general population.

Now the argument can absolutely be made for that we don't know the risks and that they do cause unneccesary stress for people lots of times - like all the ladies who were told they had some sort of marker for something but then turned out to be nothing - but they do save lives too like with placenta previa and so forth.

I know about Ramzi but that is about placental location isn't it. Roll on 13 week scan on 20th! Feeling stressed as its approaching.

The study found that ONLY IN A THREE MONTH PATTERN where ovulation had been monitored for 3 months and was L, L, R were 75% boys conceived. That was the strongest pattern. All the other patterns had varying rates of B/G conceived but they were all 3 month patterns and they all were less than 75% (so you still have plenty of a chance even with L, L, R pattern of having a girl) . And unless you know the pattern of your ovulation for 3 months running it is useless info anyway really.

[Bobster]

Ok thanks. I thought I felt ovulation twinges on the left but clearly I was wrong.

[Bobster]

Good luck today dreaming for your gender scan. I think your nub looks very girly and will be surprised if you hear boy. I have fingers and toes tightly crossed for you.

Thinking pink when is your nub scan? I will definitely post on here. Wish we had option for panorama here.

[DreamingPink2015]

Starting to worry and stress
gender scan booked in for 2:30 tomorrow

I have not told anyone but you girls you are my rocks

Even my husband knows nothing of it (really hoping for pink so I can somehow surprise him after)

I've got everything crossed for you dreamingpink!

[TaytumJ]

Crossing everything for you dreamingpink! I really hope you hear pink - I'll be stalking tomorrow! :)

Nausea seems to be coming in ups and downs; usually after I eat. Someone said that if you have taken prenatals for a while sometimes that can ease the MS. Hope so - I've been on them for a year, so maybe that means I'll skip out lightly with the MS!

First ultrasound Thursday!

[Bobster]

Good luck dreaming and taytum.

I found my Ms less severe with ds too but perhaps that was because I took prenatals for so long while Ttc.

I had a scan today at 11 weeks. There was no nub at all I could see but the skull looks round like my ds's. It was amazing to see it wiggling around. The placenta was also really far on the right. When I saw baby moving I just felt such a love which is amazing. All thoughts of gender went out of my head. It was even swallowing!

Next scan due 20/10 at 13 weeks so will be interesting to see how baby's grown!

[covered in blue]

Very cute Bobster! Glad everything went well :)

[Ashforblue]

GL Dreaming, fxfx!!!

Awww, super cute baby Bobster!

Thursday is coming soon Taytum !:)

[babypinkno3]

Bobster, congrats on your u/s!

I have my NT scan tomorrow and I hope we get a good nub shot. If not we have an elective us in a week. Aahh! Not sure I'm ready for this. I know either way I'll be happy.

GL everyone getting checkups this week!

[Bobster]

Good luck baby pink. I think if you are anything like me you will be so in awe whatever you see. It's so amazing isn't it. Fingers crossed for a lovely flat forked nub though. Post pics!

I amazed at how quickly they progress. My 8 week scan looked like a jellybean!

[ThinkinPinkin]

New here! :) Due May 19th! Swayed pink :) Looking forward to getting to know the rest of you :)

[ThinkinPinkin]

I had my first ultrasound September 28th. 6w5d! Everything looked good. It looks to me like the placenta is mostly left sided (transvaginal ultrasound) but we'll see!

Your baby is doing well bobster. I hope you get a good nub shot at your next scan which is the day before my 20 week one. I haven't seen my baby since 14 weeks so I am really looking forward to it. But I am feeling regular movement everyday now so that helps a lot.

Good luck today baby pink. I hope you have a good scan

Welcome thinkingpink. I hope you have a healthy pink bundle on board.

[DreamingPink2015]

Thank you Atomic!!!!!!!! You are the best :bowdown:

My dream has become a reality

It's a GIRL!!!!!!! :DD::ballerina::DD::ballerina::DD::ballerina:27703 27704

[True Blue]

Congratulations dreaming :cheer:

[Pearl327]

Congratulations dreaming. That is fantastic news.

What do you ladies think of the name Seana it is a Gaelic name meaning gift from god and pronounced shawn a. Would I be condemning my daughter ( if she is on the way) to a lifetime of correcting the way people say her name - a common problem with irish names.

[TaytumJ]

Congrats dreaming!! Fantastic news!! Enjoy your little girl!!

Bobster - what a beautiful baby! Can't wait to know what you're having! :)

Pearl - I'll admit when I first saw it I thought "Sea-Anna". Around here (Midwest US), I always see Shawna. It's a beautiful name and I do love the spelling, I think it's up to you on correcting people - and if it's spelled that way around where you live and people know then I don't see it being a problem! :)

[daisy4]

Congrats dreamingpink [emoji1]

[mandyp85]

Congratulations dreaming!

I had my 20 week scan today, no mistaking the boy bits, I said to the tech I think its a boy and my dh mentioned a gender scan and she said I wouldn't waste your money, essentially confirming my suspicions. I'm feeling so sad at the min, all I want is to give my dd a sister and I cant even do that.

Hope everybody else is well. Xxx

[Mulberry Smurf]

Hugs Mandy, sorry you didn't hear girl and that your daughter won't get her sister but I bet she absolutely adores her new brother when he arrives, xx

[Junie]

Congrats on your girl dreaming!
I'm sure your DD will love her little brother Mandy- Congrats!

[Pearl327]

Sorry you didn't hear girl Mandy. But congratulations on your Baby boy. I know I will be the same as you if I hear boy sad for my DD not to be getting a sister. I am sure she will love her new baby brother.

[mandyp85]

Thank you ladies. The tech didn't actually tell us gender and didn't actually look for it but to say to us about not wasting money on a gender scan when we both said we thought we saw boys bits says to me that she must have seen enough for her to know its a boy. I got upset and my dh was not amused about that. I'm thinking now I may as well just pay for a gender scan just to confirm it, hardly team green now anyway am I?

[Boyzmommy]

Mandy hun your dd will love the little bro. Atleast u have one princess there with u.
Dreaming congrats ��

[TaytumJ]

Mandy, how many weeks along are you? Is it possible it could have been a leg or something else? Depending on how much gender scan is, I might do it to just ease my mind.

Ladies I need your help/advice - his morning I had a BM (I haven't had bad constipation, I usually still go at the time same every morning, just sometimes it's harder than others), and I thought I saw a little blood, but didn't think anything of it and I don't think I strained or anything too crazy. This morning then when I went to the bathroom later in the morning and wiped there was some blood. Not a lot, and none in the toilet, only after I wiped. When I did a quick check of my CM I noticed that it was still just white/creamy - no pink/red when I checked my finger or wiped it on toilet paper. Could this just be from the BM? Should I call my doctor or wait and see what happens the rest of the day?

[Ashforblue]

Taytum~ if you checked your cm & it was normal, then I would assume it was from your bm..... If it makes you feel better then I would call the dr just to be sure :)

[Ashforblue]

Congrats Dreaming!! :cheer::cheer:

[Ashforblue]

I'm sorry Mandy.... Hugs

[HealthyGirl]

Congrats dreaminpink.

Thinkinpinkin no I took the clomid under my RE care.

Sorry Mandy. If it is a boy he will be the joy of your life and your daughter will still have a little brother to play with.

Congrats dreamingpink!!! That's awesome! How exciting :)

Mandy, I'm sorry you're feeling sad. I'd probably do a gender scan anyway just to confirm, but don't go in expecting them to have gotten it wrong. With DS2 I had the technician say "I don't see any boy parts" so I was convinced she was insinuating a girl. Nope, she just really didn't see his boy parts which were very apparent at an elective gender u/s later that day. I was excited about a girl for about 2-3 hours, then when I saw my boy I was SO in love...definitely love at first sight (which honestly didn't even happen with my first!). I'm sorry if your DD doesn't get a sister, but whats most awesome is that you're giving your children siblings!

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Hugs Mandy. I'm awol for the most part on this forum as I too heard boy and I'm struggling more than I thought I would. Xo

Bless you hun, big hugs to you as well. I got so upset today as well, was crying and dh just didn't get it. I have a gender scan booked for tomorrow so just expecting to have them confirm boy. I'm so annoyed as well as I had just finished telling the tech that I didn't want to know, just for her to say that about the gender scan, as lovely as she was she should not have said anything like that. I hope you work out a way to get your dd hun, I have already decided that I will most likely try again if it is a boy, just got to convince dh, he is dead against having anymore currently.

I'm 19 weeks now, I thought it may have been cord but for her to say not to waste money on a gender scan says to me that she thinks it was boy bits, she was not actively looking for gender (we have to have a separate scan for that in my hospital which we have to pay for) so for her to say that she must have been really confident.

I ditto what ash said re your cm and bm. Xxx

[DreamingPink2015]

Don't give up hope Mandy, anything is possible
Especially if the Tech did not tell you the gender

If it will make your pregnancy journey more at peace I would recommend get the gender scan done. It will give you a chance to see your beautiful bubba again x

[mandyp85]

I'm 99% confident its boy #4 but I am having a gender scan tomorrow as at this point I feel I may as well just know, seeing as she pretty much told us anyway. I've had the conversation with my daughter and she was really grown up about it, she said she will be a bit sad if its a boy as she knows its our last baby and that she will never have a sister. But I'm already thinking about swaying again and including exercise next time.

I can't blame you for going back. I hope your tech was just being a knob and you have a beautiful dd cooking.

Afm I AM going to get my dd. I'm now a dream member and have filled out forms for a consult with Dr potter. Due to my age and how much worse things could be in a year and a half, I am planning an embryo adoption. I just have to find a way I come up with the money and figure out how I can overcome the laws here, and manage to complete my pretesting And get meds prescribed.

Swaying again for me is no longer an option :(

Xo keep me posted on tomorrow's Scan.

[mandyp85]

I hope she was too but I saw what looked like a willy several times so my only hope is that it was the cord we were seeing. I'm scared to sway again but have no option for ht being in the uk and there is no way we could afford to do it abroad, unless we get a big lottery win of course lol. I will update as soon as I get confirmation :-) good luck to you on your journey hun, I hope things go well for you. Xxx

[Atsaukina1]

Mandy are they not allowed to tell you gender when they are looking right at it? I've never had a scan and I'm in the US but we don't have specific scans just for gender. Sorry she wouldn't just tell you rrrr. Good luck tomorrow

Crazy with technology I am 9 weeks and could find out next week if I wanted. Still debating if I want to go through the hassle to see on just to get blood work out the way and no its all covered. I usually don't see midwife till around 14 weeks when I start feeling better. Def. Wouldn't drag my butt to an ob's office right now. Feel like shit. Only a month more to go hopefully.

The first trimester will be over before you know it ladies. Hang in there xx

Well she pretty much did tell us but not in the exact words, just when we said we were sure we saw boy bits she said not to waste money on a gender scan, I took that to mean don't bother with one as you are right. Cant see what other way she would have meant it really. Thank you.

[mandyp85]

Yes I would also lean boy baby pink. Will you try again if its baby boy 3? I always thought I wouldn't have anymore but now I'm in the position I am going to, as long as dh doesn't go to the vasectomy clinic lol.

[Atsaukina1]

They can tell that early? I thought it was 20+?

Are you in the US? Just wondering why you didn't ask and they didn't just tell you?

[mandyp85]

No not in the US I'm in England. The hospital I had my scan in just don't do gender at the anatomy scans. They will tell you to book in for gender scan at a hospital down the road if you want to find out and you have to pay for it. This is just the policy for this particular hospital, many others in England will tell gender at anatomy scan and do not charge.

[mandyp85]

My baby is most definitely a boy, I don't feel too bad about that right now but I will most probably sway again and sway harder next time.

[Atsaukina1]

It's interesting to see the care in different countries.

[XXforhubby]

My baby is most definitely a boy, I don't feel too bad about that right now but I will most probably sway again and sway harder next time.

I'm with you sweetie! When this little guy is 3-4mo, I'm planning on LE Diet, cardio (walking DS2 in a stroller while wearing DS3 to a park to play), one attempt by BDing every 4 days, folic acid and fiber. That's it. No other supplements.

I don't want to do a kitchen sink sway- I've seen too many opposites with those. I just don't want to take supplements this time- they messed with my fertility too much last time.

FX for you too- in the future [emoji6]!


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

[TaytumJ]

I feel like my emotions are getting the best of me - I started a new job this year (began in August) and one of my male coworkers had told me a few weeks ago his wife was pregnant again (they have three little boys). They had lost a little girl at birth a few years ago. He told me yesterday they got their panorama back and it's a little girl! I seriously cried for him; and I don't even know them!! I am just so happy for her (and I've never even met her! Lol). Little miracles. :)

Bright and early tomorrow for my first ever u/s! Lots of prayers!

[Boyzmommy]

I would hve cried too. We emotional women

[babypinkno3]

Most likely not. I'm done at 3. I can't see myself with 4 kids, much less the possibility of 4 boys, but who knows. Never say never I guess.

[Ashforblue]

Babypink~ super cute baby!! I'd give a blue lean b/c of the stacking at the end.... Hope I'm wrong!

I said no more after my 3rd and I'm now pregnant with number 5 ha ha, kids are a blessing and I always think I would never regret having more but might regret not.

Hehe cool :). It will be so fun swapping stories etc. I was lucky enough to have a friend just a short walk down the road who had her DS1 and DS2 the same time as me. We were actually in hospital together BOTH times lol. She even saw them wheel me into L&D about 5mins b4 DS2 was born lol. That can't have been pretty haha :P

[Bee]

hitme, I've always hoped I'd be pregnant alongside a friend. So cool! You have an awesome family :)

Taytum, seeing your little one makes me want to go get a sono <3.

mandy, So sorry you didn't hear pink but congrats on your new little guy.

babypink, I was kind of the opposite when I found out DS3 was another boy. I took it really hard and was determined then and there we would have a fourth. Wouldn't change him for the world, but I'm still hoping this one is pink. I start thinking about HT and adoption if this one is a boy, but I think DH is definitely done. We live in a really HCOL area and I don't know many who have 4 kids, let alone more.

[True Blue]

So happy for you Taytum :)

Hitme I am pregnant with 2 friends and 2 SILs for the first time. My friends are due end jan and mid feb and expecting their 2nd girl and 2nd boy respectively and my SILs are due 10 days before me and 10 days after me. I cannot wait to see the little heads of the cousins playing together. There will be 11 of them 5 and under. Both of my SIL have 2boys and are hoping for girls. None of the ladies believe in swaying. I tried to tell them.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Welcome Pink!

Last night I finally had a decent sleep. My last thoughts were this time next year, or soon after, I'll be flying to California for my daughter. Now i can just focus on this current pregnancy and the family I've built so far. Gender disappointment and gender desire are so strong sometimes that we really get taken away from what we have right in front of us.

[Junie]

Pearl our 2 current sons and also our expected son all have cousins within 6 months of age. They love it and are really close friends!

Especially after spending more time on this site I think swaying is not for everyone. Even without swaying you always have a chance at either sex and I think some people are much more disappointed by a failed sway then they would be if they had just gotten the same sex again without trying.
I mean don't get me wrong I think this site is fantastic and I think Atomic really knows her stuff but I can understand people who would choose not to sway.

[Atsaukina1]

Welcome pink. I'm beginning on may too.

Pearl- wow that is so awesome to be surrounded by friends and family.
My kids have 11 first cousins but they live on opposite coasts so don't see often enough. It's a pretty lonely prego.
Hitme- mil has 6 grandsons. My dd is from previous relationship but would def. Not make a thing to say it was her first granddaughter although tech. It would be.

What are you eating?

Ats - that kinda sucks - I think if I had a biological daughter from a previous

I went crazy staring at lines and went for a digi.

[Boyzmommy]

Thanks hun

[Bobster]

Boys the amount of hcg this early is tiny so lines can vary a lot with different urge concentrations. I was like you and tested a lot. Try to use really concentrated urine if you can. Failing that go to Dr and ask for some bloods.

[Bobster]

Taytum awesome scan picture. Was it vaginal or abdominal? I will try to Ramzi you :)

[babypinkno3]

I said no more after my 3rd and I'm now pregnant with number 5 ha ha, kids are a blessing and I always think I would never regret having more but might regret not.

You got me thinking about a 4th for a split second, and now I'm back to thinking that's crazy! We both come from small families so three already felt like a big family. I'm not ruling out the possibility though. I just need to be prepared for a 4th boy before I make that decision.

[babypinkno3]

Sorry Mandy.

Congrats dreaming.

Baby pink I think the nub is online with the spine but does look slightly stacked. Do you have anymore pics?

That's what I see too, but I also think that nub is 100% shaped like a boy. I have a gender u/s on Monday to confirm gender and I'm totally expecting to hear boy.

If it is a boy, I still think this nub is kinda flat. Agreed it's not like a typical girl nub, but still. I'm glad it's not just me that sees that though.
I know this family of three boys that I admire, and even had me wishing for a third boy. I often found myself admiring all her pictures and thinking how awesome 3 boys must be. I also know a family of 2 boys 1 girl, and I kinda felt sad, like that little girl wouldn't have her same-sex sibling. Her pictures never really caught my attention as much as the 3 boys. Before seeing this nub I swore I'd be happy (possibly even happier) to have a boy. Now I can shake the feeling of missing out on a girl. I guess I felt that 3 boys looked good on HER and not exactly what I wanted for me. Oh stupid feelings. Why don't they ever make sense?!!!

[Junie]

Hi pinkcomestrue!!

[Bobster]

Feelings are very confusing I agree. I think it's good you feel like this though as either way you are seeing the positive aspects of either gender on your future family. I feel similar in that I think seeing my ds with a brother would be a delight. I want a girl more selfishly for me as I feel ds would have a better bond with a brother. You never can tell though. What will be will be. I do think your baby's nub looks flat though.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

At this point telling people my excited news is rather pointless lol it's more like show and tell http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/09/4124a7175af78c4519fd61ba5c2978c6.jpg

[Boyzmommy]

U look good hitme. Stay blessed

[Bobster]

Hit me your bump is so cute. I have a bump too already! I can't feel the bottom of my ribs. It seems to have grown quicker this time.

Tayytum I think your placenta is on the left so girl guess. I submitted mine to the gender experts website and it predicted pink. I got excited but I know it's only for fun.

[HealthyGirl]

Bobster what's the gender expert website ?

My best friend just found out she's having a girl yesterday and I kind of thought it would be a lot of fun to have girl bffs :).

I'll have to look more into it!

[True Blue]

[daisy4]

Ladies do you know where the placenta is in my sonogram?. .thanks 27781

I have the sweetest husband! I told him at 8 pm that I needed something sweet.... So he put the kids to bed for me & is off to get me some ice cream! I can't say this is the first time, he does it whenever I ask:heart::heart:

[Ashforblue]

So I don't have the cutest bump since I've already gained a good amount of weight from swaying & pregnancy already.... But here it is!27782

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Adorable ash! And how awesome is you hubby!?

That's so cute Ash. It's sitting quite high isn't it. Or maybe mine is just really low. SIL came over today and she was just like "OMG would you look at that". I only just saw her last week lol.

[Pearl327]

Cute bump Ash.

Here is my big bump at 19 weeks and 10lb up.

Looking good Pearl! Thanks ladies & Covered, I do think my bump is high..... I do think my girls were actually low!

Another thing I'm excited about is the fact my baby is moving ALL the time! He's pretty active :)
Three more weeks until my big ultrasound, super excited to see him again!

[Pearl327]

Thanks Ash. My big scan is in 9 days time. I can't wait to see baby again too.

[True Blue]

I love your bumps mommas :pregnant:

[HealthyGirl]

This was taken at 8 weeks 5 days. It's a vaginal ultrasound ( heart beat of 173)
Can someone please Ramzi me?

Ladies looking good. I don't have bonified baby bump just looking chunky:)
Sorry all ultrasounds look like we are all having cute alien babies lol.
Only thing under 18-20 weeks I would believe would be blood test but I know its always fun to guess:)

[babypinkno3]

IT'S A BOY! [emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]

[TiffSal]

Congratulation babypink!

[mandyp85]

Congratulations babypink. Xxx

[Boysboys]

Hey ladies! I'm due June 7th but my csection will most likely be May 30th!lol I'm a bit behind yall but may join for some chatting if you don't mind. My due date thread isn't too chatty. I think there was a baby boom during yalls months. I go to the doctor for my fist ultrasounds Oct 28th. I will be 8 weeks! Currently 6 weeks.

Congratulations on your sweet boy! :)

Healthygirl, your baby look right in the middle! I will say though, my sisters ultrasound tech said they recently went to a conference and learned that if the Ramzi method is determined correctly its 97% accurate. I still can't trust it though!lol I will says both of my boys were on right. My sisters girl was on left. Her baby boy was on the right. And her friend recently had a boy on the right. again, I know it's probably not always accurate but still fun to guess! :)

[Pearl327]

Congratulations babypink on your bundle of blue.

7.5 days until I find out. I am so excited to see who will be joining our family.

Congratulations and welcome boysboys. I am a c-section momma too and will be having my baby March 1st.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Pearl- exciting. You have one of each so can't go wrong either way:) do you have anythink making you think it's one or the other ?

[HealthyGirl]

Congrats babypink !

Welcome boyboys. My due date is May 19th. I will most likely have a c section as well.

I can't wait till you find out Pearl!

[babypinkno3]

No we did an elective ultrasound, which was the same way we found out about DS2. He had no problem showing us his penis!

[Pearl327]

I am not really sure. I am thinking girl because of the sway and that this baby is measuring a day or two behind dates like DD did. But I am happy to hear boy too

[TaytumJ]

Big congrats babypink!! How exciting! ����

[babypinkno3]

DH keeps saying he thinks he saw three lines. Not gonna lie, at this point I'll be sad if they say it's not a boy. I'm already growing to love my little family of three boys. I read online that 14 weeks can still be too early, and considering I was always measuring a couple days behind I'm technically still in my 13th week. I know it's best to wait till the anatomy scan to confirm but I'm already in full planning mode! Oh, and we are now seriously discussing going for a fourth [emoji51][emoji4]

[covered in blue]

I'm glad you are so happy with your 3 boys babypink. It will be lots of fun.
Going for number 4 is fun too. No one expects it :)

DH is still wanting to go for a sister for this little one but I keep telling him I'm done. I'm determined to leave this all behind and be happy now. On a brighter note I bought 2 little pink outfits today. (Finally lol. It's taken me a while!). It still feels a bit wrong though. I just can't believe I am actually going to have a girl. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it came out with a penis lol. Also feeling lots of movement finally which is so cool :) Can't see my belly jumping around though yet. This little one is so gentle!

Anyway that's enough rambling from me :). Good night everyone xx

Good luck with it all. I will honestly say that I found my first baby the hardest to adapt to, baby 2,3 and 4 just fit right in to the routine and I really didn't "notice" the extra work as much as I thought I would which is why I'm not ruling out a 6th lol. I will see how life is with baby no5 here and make my decision from there but I do think once you get into the realms of a big family any additional children just slot in really.

[Atsaukina1]

Bigger family are just more work no doubt about it. I have been feeling horrible, hubs is out of town, and kids still need to be fed, taken to school, ect. It is feeling really hard right now as I have zero family here to help and only aquantices no friends so no one I would ask to be a sitter. This is def. Our last as I am not having kids in my 40s. A lot easier being prego at 21 w zero kids than 38 w 5 lol that's for sure.

[Pearl327]

I would love 5 kids. I just love being part of a big family and even bigger now with DHs side. I have 11 sisters and sisters in law. A quiet weekend where we don't see anyone is rare and there is always support on hand when you need it. I want to give my kids the same

[Boyzmommy]

I m already thinking of having a fourth one but dh was always good with two boys

[Boysboys]

I would also love 4 but my husband was more than satisfied with 2 so we met in the middle at 3. But maybe we can oopsie daisy one day!lol

[HealthyGirl]

For those who have done harmony or planning on doing it is there a form I need to take for my obgyn to fill out? How do I get my obgyn to order it ? How is the process?

I have 4 sisters and three brothers and would have lots of support except I live cross country from all of them and dh's family as well. It def. Is not what I planned or want for my family:( We get back about every other year for a couple weeks but its a long expensive trip and just not enough time. It's very sad seeing them all together and having family stop by or be able to help. When my kids are sick or I'm sick and dh is out of the country I literally have no one to call. I have tried getting dh to just leave his job and begged and pleaded for my happiness as well as our families but he makes good $$ to allow me to be a sahm and he's older and doesn't want to start fresh. How can I argue with common senses lol. It's always harder when I'm prego and I think how no one will be there to come hold baby, congratulate us, or anything:( sorry 1st trimester sucks hoping when I feel physically better my mood might lift.

Girl, I cannot imagine!! So where do you live and where do they live? Do they come visit when the babies are first born??

My MIL lives across the street and SIl lives behind us. Most would hate it, but we love it. I call my MIL my personal assistant.haha My parents and sister and brother are very involved too, so that's always nice. I'm a teacher but we don't have to pay child care or anything. I just walk them across the street to my MIL's house. She has dinner prepared when I get home. I'm spoiled rotten. I hope to stay at home when number three gets here though!! I've always wanted to be a SAHM :) You are very blessed to be able to stay home!

[Boyzmommy]

Sahm is a blessing seriously.

How early is too early for Braxton hicks. I think I'm having mild ones already.

Atsaukina that must be really tough and I can imagine a bit lonely for adult company when your DH is away. I hope you get lots of visitors to help you out when baby arrives

I usually start getting them around 14 weeks. I've been getting them for a few weeks already. Not too bad yet but if I do something like lift my 2 year old or even just stretch out on my back when I'm laying down I can set them off.

[Pearl327]

It is definitely not too early for Braxton hicks Hitme, I think we can get them all the way through pregnancy just most of us don't start feeling them that early

[covered in blue]

OK ladies if you know the sex already can you please put your information into the spreadsheet. You will find the link on the New Complete Pink swaying statistics thread or Blue swaying statistics thread. We have to do this to help the next lot of swayers out :).

[covered in blue]

I'm just off to do mine now xx

[covered in blue]

It's super easy - just multiple choice and doesn't take long at all :)

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]
