April/May/June 2021

[Flowergirl]

I think we’re about the same. I was given a due date of June 7 by my perinatologist, but if they went by ovulation day I’d be due June 9. If I measure more than 4 days off at my scan they’ll change my dates.

We don’t usually announce until much farther along, like 14-plus weeks minimum. My last pregnancy was announced at 23 weeks. We didn’t announce the twins until 17 weeks. I had a cute announcement idea for when we’re at Disney World, but I’d only be 13 weeks and I’m not comfortable announcing that early with my history. It’s more likely we’ll wait until Christmas or New Year on the early side. If our trip to Thailand in early January doesn’t get cancelled (it’s looking likely it will), we’ll do a cute announcement from there. This is my last pregnancy and I’d love to show it off and enjoy it, but I’m just too anxious about something going wrong again.

I’m having my dating scan in a week but if I go off my LMP my due date is 8th of June so we’re right on par! Your hcg levels are much stronger than mine though. I am worried but the obstetrician isn’t because they doubled in 36 hours so that’s faster than average.

I’ll also wait to announce. I might even tell family on Christmas Day when I’ll be 16.5 weeks and social media after that (if at all).

When I saw my obs today he did a little scan in his room and he couldn’t rule out that there was only one gestational sac! It looked like there was either 2 sacs or he was picking up on an ovary and one sac. Eager for my dating scan to find out more because I was on clomid there’s a risk of multiples! I couldn’t see the yolk or anything in the sacs but my obstetrician said it’s probably too early (at 5 weeks) to pick it up.

I forgot to update on my HCG levels. I’m happy they have been rising well.
16DPO: 439
18DPO: 1272
22DPO: 7488

That’s a beautiful range! Lots of sticky baby dust to you

Flowergirl and Bunnygirl19, I am also 6w+1 or 6w today!
They said i am due on 6-6-2021!
I have got a little nausea since yesterday, but it’s not too bad yet!

We have talked about this being our last baby, I am praying so hard now that I am just able to feel happiness regardless of the sex... so scared for GD.

So exciting!! How would you feel about multiples? Excited, nervous...??

Haha oh my goodness it would totally be my luck haha! We were very much done with 3 and then we had a surprise #4 earlier this year which sadly didn’t work out and I was heartbroken even though nothing made sense to have another baby but the seed had been planted so we tried for #4 to see if it was meant to be. I was only going to give 2 cycles of clomid a go then close the door on this chapter if I didn’t fall in those 2 months (it took 6 cycles with my daughter). Well to our utter disbelief it happened the first cycle with basically one attempt!! So all I could really do is laugh if we get twins too haha. After everything though I realise just how much of a blessing and gift being pregnant and having a baby (or babies!) is so after the initial freak out I think it would totally embrace it. I love being a mum more than anything in this world so kind of pinching myself that I get to experience this again, at my age and also after really feeling like we were done it’s pretty special. :)

All that said, I think jumping from 3 to 5 would be next level so I think I’d be very happy with just one healthy baby if I had a preference! :XX:

Oh fab you’re close to us too! I started getting slight waves of nausea tonight and I’m 6 weeks tomorrow so I think it’s coming. How many babies do you have? I thought we were finished with 3 five years ago but here we are haha! I’m also scared about GD because I feel like going back to the baby stage was a big call when my youngest starts school next year and I finally have more freedom so I really hope our sway worked so badly. :pray:

All the pink dust headed your way!

I know that my DH and I BD’d on the day when the moon sign was cancer and my positive opk the day after was moon sign cancer but the day after it was Leo. Not sure when I conceived though...

[hotlikemexico]

Personally moon sign is not something I believe in. It makes zero sense to me that the position of the moon in the sky on the day you conceive has any effect. If it were that easy, all we’d have to do is look up the right signs and wait until everything is “aligned” ... it just doesn’t make sense.

If you search for moon sign here there’s a couple of topics on it. Here’s one

I hope all those who got sway opposites are ok, it must be disappointing although definitely have it confirmed at a scan if you've done the home tests! I have to say I am nervous still about ours but I'm definitely glad I have somewhere to talk about it. Although I'm more nervous altogether the last few days as my symptoms have all gone a bit strange, I was getting huge waves of nausea and feeling rough but its changed and definitely less nauseous. 7 weeks tomorrow so it shouldn't have gone yet! I say that and I think I'm probably non stop eating some days to suppress it 🙈 Definitely still super exhausted!

Told a couple more people over the weekend and was asked straight away if I had any inkling as to whether its a boy or girl but I really don't know! I'm not sure food cravings necessarily mean anything, particularly as I'm slightly craving salty crisps as well as orange juice, grapes and pineapple 😂 oh and chocolate but I'm not sure that counts as I always want chocolate!

I’d have to agree with you. It’s just one of those old superstitions. Maybe it’s something to look at for fun after the fact, but I definitely wouldn’t pin my hopes on it or try to plan conception around it.

Here's the problem with this, though. Studies have proven that highly trained experts using the best technology for tracking ovulation that there is, cannot pin down when they ovulated any better than one in three days. So if trained experts can't know when they ovulate better than 1 out of 3 chances, there's NO WAY that the average person on the Internet (in many cases with remembering things after the fact on pregnancies that happened years ago) can know when they ovulated and conceived to do the moon phase charts.

Time after time I have seen it, whenever people do moon phases, they just fiddle with the day of conception mentally or using the online program to make them come out right. This stuff does not work at all. It's fine if you want to try it (though it can reduce the chances of conception a lot if you don't have attempts in the fertile window) but PLEASE ladies, do not rely on this supernatural stuff to make up for things you don't want to do like diet and exercise, which actually DO work.

I got an email from Natera today that they received my test kit and my specimen is processing! I called them and was able to get my case number so I could register it to my patient portal. I know they won’t release the results to my portal until my provider authorizes them to, but at least I’ll be able to see the results myself after too!

I’m hoping we’ll get the results by Friday the VERY latest, but crossing my fingers for sooner... [emoji24] our 6y wedding anniversary is this Saturday and my parents are taking the boys so that we can go out to dinner. We’ve been waiting for these results before telling them. I really want to tell them in person this weekend when we see them! [emoji1695]

This cycle I ovulated right after we returned home from a mandatory wildfire evacuation. It had been several days with no sex, so we BD’d the night we got home and then the next day was positive OPK so we BD’d again. I’d been so upset thinking we’d have a wasted cycle due to being away from home and all of us sleeping in one big room together in a friend’s basement. With all the stress of everything going on I had given up on having hope of conceiving and was just feeling defeated. I’d even cried hysterically to DH that I didn’t think I’d ever get pregnant again. The next morning I got a positive test. Surprise!

[Flowergirl]

So close hotlikemexico!! So exciting!

I felt defeated too bunnygirl, I really didn’t think it would happen and knowing we were only going to do two cycles of clomid I just felt in my heart it wouldn’t fall pregnant at all. We bd day 14 then I got a pos OPK day 15 and didn’t bd again until day 17 so I still can’t believe it happened for us.

P.S. 6 weeks today and nausea and exhaustion definitely starting!

I’ve been hawking this thread waiting for you to post your results. Guess I have to wait til Friday now. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] I thought *maybe* they’d come today since I got mine on a Tuesday after a Thursday draw and you had your draw on Wednesday. Lol!

Happy Anniversary! How awesome would it be to receive your girl?!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL! Yeah, I read somewhere that Natera is one of the longest to give results. Argh! Plus it doesn’t help that they may not have actually sent it out until Saturday!! Someone on reddit said that her office told her that the blood is good for 7 days after they draw it so they don’t always send it out right away. I didn’t get the “test kit sent out” result in MyChart until Saturday... originally I assumed they just didn’t release it to MyChart right away but now I’m afraid they didn’t ACTUALLY send it until Saturday!!! [emoji58][emoji58][emoji58][emoji58][emoji58][emoji58][emoji58][emoji58]

I’m going to be stalking my patient portal like a hawk haha and either way I’m going to call them by the end of this week if I haven’t heard anything.

And thank you! [emoji178] Yes that would be so awesome! I can only hope [emoji24]

Yeah I hear you! Butterflies flies all the time in tummy! Hope you get it sooner, after seeing all the ultrasounds and these results I am too impatient for my appointment now.

Wait, you’re in MA?! Me too! I’m about an hour south of Boston! I’m at a new office too because my previous midwife moved her practice. I can’t follow her because I work for the local hospital system and I have to stay within their network. [emoji3525] But so far I’ve had a great experience, the midwives in this group are great too! I hope you have a similar experience!

When is your first appt? My area has been in the “red zone” for covid for a couple of weeks now. They don’t allow any visitors at any appts, which is fine with me as DH cannot make them anyway due to work. The office and hospital system though have tons of precautions in place, constant cleaning and disinfecting and social distancing, masks required at all times, phone screenings before your appt and they also screen you AGAIN when you present for your appt including temp checks. I’ve had other appts in besides pregnancy related ones and I have my first physical therapy appt for my back this week — I’ve felt very safe I guess, with all the measures they have in place to prevent the spread in the offices and hospitals. I hope your area is the same!

Ya I am greater Boston area! All the town near me in red zone .. ya they are not allowing anyone with me! My first ultrasound is on 28th October , they wanted me come a lil early though but I wanted to wait a lil for my leave of mind . They are doing all the screening before hand . Even I have to go for PT as my right shoulder and arm is killing me and can’t do much about it at the moment [emoji17].

Spoke to my midwife briefly yesterday and have an appt booked for next Wednesday which is a bit exciting! She'll send the referral for my first scan appt so hopefully I'll have a date to work towards soon!

Anyone else finding their nausea is worse at night? I keep feeling utterly horrendous from about 10pm for a few hours, its stopping me sleeping sometimes [emoji15] I'm getting waves in the day too but its definitely not strictly morning sickness for me.

Y'all I just need to vent for a second because you guys are the only social media I really check. This pregnancy is hard. Like maybe it's not, I mean I'm not throwing up and I can eat certain foods so I know I shouldn't be complaining but I just keep comparing it to my first which was def a unicorn. I can barely sleep because I feel sick when I go to bed, then get up to pee, then about half way through the night I feel so uncomfortable. I get like 9-10 hours of sleep but I feel like I haven't slept at all in the morning. The naseua is bad too. Some days it's worse than others. Usually it's morning/evening but sometimes it changes on me. Eating helps sometimes but there's only like two actual meals i can eat. Heat bothers me, spinning bothers me, even a rocking chair bothers me! I feel so helpless this time like I need so much support from my husband because of how bad I feel. Plus I haven't told me job yet because I have anxiety in general and just didn't want to cause issues, but my job is exhausting and I know I can't keep doing it.
Thank you ladies for listening.
Hot like Mexico- I'm exited for you to get your results!! I can't believe I go get my blood drawn in less than a week.

I felt that same, DisneyLover. I feel like my pregnancy is probably mild compared to a lot of those women with nonstop vomiting, however it is has been far more intense than my last. It’s been rough trying to do anything. I hate that I feel so lazy because of fatigue or like I can’t even move because of sickness. I’m 12 weeks today and hoping to literally wake up over one of the next few days with my energy back. Lol


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk



Omg I hope yours goes away soon too! I'm only 8.5 weeks so I have a long way to go to feel better. I've heard for some people it lasts 16-17 weeks or more. I really hope that's not true! I still have good days like today but it's already 11 and I feel exhausted. Like my normal daily activities are making me sooo tired. Plus not being able to have coffee help me through sucks. I feel bad too! I don't have the option to always be lazy because of work and because I watch my 1 year old while my husband works. I can't wait until next week when My family is in town so I get a real break!

[BunnyGirl19]

My symptoms are just starting to show up now that I’m 6 weeks. I’ve been more tired and having sleeping issues pretty much since I found out and bad bloating and constipation since then, too. The twinges of nausea started showing up over the weekend, but so far aren’t bad and I haven’t vomited yet. I’ve had HG with some of my past pregnancies, but also had a couple pregnancies with absolutely no symptoms at all.

I'm sure you've experienced it all! That's crazy. Yep now heartburn and back pain is already starting. I'm like isn't this a third trimester thing????? I've had symptoms since my BFP, even a little before. That's part of why I'm convinced it's a girl. I've said so many times when swaying/praying that I knew a girl was going to give me trouble during pregnancy! And I've had lots of people tell me they think it's a girl already. I mean if I have to suffer to have her I will

We’re intending to keep the pregnancy a secret until around 20 weeks, unless it ends up being super obvious before then. I usually don’t show much at all until then. I haven’t had any intuition at what the baby is yet, but I have caught myself referring to it as she or the name I have picked out. We swayed pink so I assume my inadvertent references are due to preference.

That is probably true, but it could be your intuition just deep down it's hard to say. I didn't show until like 30 weeks with my son but I find now I'm already "showing" aka bloating so badly it looks like I'm super pregnant. Or maybe it's my uterus already expanding because it knows what to do. Either way, I don't think I could hide it if I tried.

[ProudMom90]

I have been having nausea throughout the whole day now since this weekend. It started like you fifi17 in the evening and especially when lying in bed. I have been having very vivid dreams (read seeing things that aren’t there and waking DH to show him what I am seeing)

I know it’s silly but when I was pg with my DS i did a lot of magical thinking... like not wanting to swim under a red flag in the swimmingpool and seeing “signs” telling me the gender. Sounds like Im crazy when reading this myself LOL. I knew the day after conception that I was pregnant and said to my DH:We did it! And it’s a boy! We laughed and he told me not to get my hopes up too much, but i just felt that I was pregnant. I saw blue all around me, always swam in the middle of the lane with swimming and there would always be a blue flag above my head...

Now I find myself looking for signs again as I was almost convinced I wasn’t pg the day I got my bfp. I see pink everywhere... though I know I just want to... LOL
Looking at genderreveals... just imagining myself seeing pink confetti... That would be a dream come true. But I dont want to picture it too often, just to protect myself.

[Disneylover]

I have been so much more irritable too. With my husband, my son, with everyone really. I feel so bad but I get so frustrated I just break out in tears! I'm not usually like at all. Quite the opposite- I hate confrontation.

[fifi17]

I have definitely been irritable! I was blaming being exhausted though. Today has been horrendous nausea wise, particularly since I got in from work. Closest I've been to being sick but I managed to stop myself. I've had a teeny bit of pink spotting this morning and cramps on and off today so just hoping all is OK in there, I'm taking the nausea as a good sign but who knows. I had quite a bit of spotting with my daughter so my sister suggested maybe its how I carry girls but I'm nervous to believe that! (I did have spotting after a bump with one of my boys)

Hope everyone has had a good day [emoji4]

So tomorrow (Friday 10/16) is 7 days since they received my sample (and 9 days from my blood draw!) so I’m crossing EVERYTHING that I’ll get my results tomorrow! [emoji30] I’m going to call Natera again and ask if they can tell me if my sample is still processing or done and/or if they’ve send results to my provider yet. I’ve seen others do this so I’m hoping they can tell me the same.

I had my dating scan yesterday and I’m 6 weeks and 3 days today, due date 8th of June. There was only one!! :) and they picked up a little heartbeat 114 bpm and baby was measuring exactly to the day what my LMP calculated so all great news.

Feeling really relieved and happy although I still need to do all the chromosome testing and nuchal scan etc. so far so good :awe:

Is there any truth to the ramzi theory do you know? I’ve never heard of it before this pregnancy but now I’m curious!

Oh wow yeah forgot the time difference! I keep thinking... still nothing?! But it’s 3.30pm over here LOL! So excited for you!!

[Disneylover]

Hotlikemexico- I'm so excited for you! I hope you get your results soon and I hope they're pink! I go get my blood drawn on Tuesday and I don't know long it will take to get results by Halloween Because that's our anniversary! I've been dreaming about my results too and I haven't even gone yet haha.

Hakreug- if I go a day without crying it's a miracle haha. Everything has been making me so emotional lately it's insane. I'm sorry the symptoms haven't been letting up for you. I tried to eat something outside of my two usual meals yesterday and I regretted it. Basically didn't get to sleep till midnight because I was so nauseous.

Flowergirl-I'm so glad you had a good scan!! I don't think there's any truth to ramzi or even if there is it's almost impossible to get an accurate result because of different uterus shapes, different angles of the ultrasound, etc. there's just so much variance.

[hotlikemexico]

Just a super quick update from me... just got off the phone with Natera and they said my Panorama is still processing. So no results for me today. [emoji20] I have my next prenatal appt on Monday afternoon so hopefully I’ll get the results at my appt... [emoji30]

Flowergirl glad your scan went well! Its also so good to get to that first one and see them!

hakrueg thats a lovely idea to make you big girl a new bedroom! And it means you can play around with the nursery too!

Disneylover I'm feeling the evening nausea, doesn't seem to matter when I eat or what I eat.

HLM gutted for you that there's no results today [emoji17] might be worth checking the portal over the weekend as didn't they update it over the weekend last week?

I realised today its 4 weeks since I got my BFP which seems crazy! 7+3 today, so hopefully only about 4 weeks until our scan!

Oh gosh hotlikemexico I can’t imagine the suspense! I can’t wait to hear your news, I have everything crossed for you!

I had my dating scan yesterday and I’m 6 weeks and 3 days today, due date 8th of June. There was only one!! :) and they picked up a little heartbeat 114 bpm and baby was measuring exactly to the day what my LMP calculated so all great news.

Feeling really relieved and happy although I still need to do all the chromosome testing and nuchal scan etc. so far so good :awe:

Is there any truth to the ramzi theory do you know? I’ve never heard of it before this pregnancy but now I’m curious!

I’m starting to get super tired and nausea coming more frequently. I think the fun of the first trimester is here haha!

Wow .. that’s a great new! So happy for you!congratulations

Today is one of the rare days I feel okay! Unfortunately they usually come right before a HORRIBLE day. But oh well. I'm taking advantage by giving into my milkshake craving. Can't believe I'm 9 weeks! It's gone by quickly yet somehow also super slow. I just can't wait to hear the confirmation it's a girl, that way I can start to decorate her room. I have a closet full of boy and girl clothes I need to work on sorting too. Ughhh. Getting nervous and excited.

Just wanted to say I'm so excited for everyone! I just love this group. Has anyone had any like "feelings" about a name? We were going to go with winter for a girl. But lately my instinct has been screaming a name starts with an E?? Like Emry, ember, I'm not sure! Also smells are really getting to me today. Like I can smell EVERYTHING and it's making me super nauseous. Like body odor, food, scented trash bags??? It's bad.
Is it wrong to just have smoothies/shakes my whole pregnancy??? ��Hot foods no longer sound good at all.

I love love the name winter for a girl:HH:
For a girl I really loved Nora Lynn but my DH doesn’t like it too much. So Now we decided on Evi Lynn (pronounce Avy Lynn) or Evi Liz.
My best friend Lisanne passed away a few years ago so if it is a girl, she will definitely be called Lynn or Liz for the middle name. I always loved the name Lynn. For a boy we have absolutely no clue. With our DS it was a struggle to find one name... plus my parents already have 6 grandsons so a lot of names I like have already been taken LOL

I’m getting excited to have another girl. We have decided to reuse Charlie’s nursery for #2 so we will be moving her into the guest room. For Christmas I am going to give her a big girl bedroom and I have been enjoying picking everything out. That has been helping me cope.

Yay that's so exciting!! We just redid the boys' room with our tax returns this past spring and got them a bunk bed, they love it! It's so much fun picking out the stuff for their room. :) What theme are you doing for her room / what theme is the nursery?

I LOVE the name Winter! It's always been one of my favorite girls names. Autumn too. DH doesn't like either of them though, sadly. And funny enough I loved the name Ember as well! I had mentioned that one to DH back in 2016 before we knew that DS2 was a boy... he vetoed it instantly because he "did stuff" with a girl named Ember when he was younger and said that's all he would be able to think of. MEN... lol! :sigh:

And the hyper sense of smell has been with me since day one!! Honestly since 7dpo.. no joke, haha. It's always the earliest symptom for me and I've def still got it. And yep, lot's of smells make me nauseous! I can't even open the fridge right now without holding my breath because some of the leftovers in there are SO strong.

I LOVE that name!! I actually just saw it in a name post on reddit and loved it so much, I mentioned it to DH as a possible middle name! He vetoed it unfortunately. He's really picky, apparently. I think it's beautiful, though. :)

YUP same with the smells! I remember a couple weeks back DH went to kiss me and I recoiled in horror because all I could smell was the peanuts on his breath, from a Snickers ice cream bar that he had eaten at least 30 minutes earlier... lol!! I can smell the shampoo on my kids' hair days after it's been washed! Pregnancy nose is wild. I can't look at food I don't like/can't tolerate either... We went out to dinner for our anniversary on Saturday night, DH got filet mignon (his favorite!) and I literally had to look away or put my hand up when he was eating bites! LOL. Just the sight of the beef made a gag rise!

As for us... I'm pretty sure we've finalized our name choices! I originally wanted Zoey for a girl, it's been my #1 for YEARS. However, it's rising in popularity now, I think it's in the top 100 in the US, and one of DS1's classmates is named Zoey. I don't like popular names. So, our frontrunner is now Mylene! :heart: It's pronounced like my-LEAN. If anyone's seen the show The Get Down on Netlflix, Mylene Cruz is one of the main characters on the show! It's uncommon, and I loved it from the minute I first heard it. It also flows perfectly with our last name. :) We were unsure on boys, but I happened across another name post on reddit talking about names people came to like from fictional characters, and one of them was Miles -- from Miles Morales on Into the Spiderverse. I mentioned it to DH and he agreed too! It also flows really well with our last name. It's not 100% set it stone, but so far it's the only boy name that we've both really liked and agreed on. I also love that our frontrunners are Mylene and Miles, almost like two different variations of the same name. :)

Crossing ALL of my fingers and toes that we get our Panorama results tomorrow! I don't think my heart can take anymore waiting :nails:

[ProudMom90]

I feel you hotlikemexico!
Been checking my phone all day to see if there is any news. Got fingers and toes crossed for you!

For DD1 room, we will be doing like a floral woodland type theme. I’m honestly horrible at interior design so really I’m just picking things I like that seem to match. I’m stuck on these prints on amazon so that’s kind of what I’ve been working around. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201019/9bdeecc8d8f0cedf25359e1ee4c4a5e4.jpg

Sorry for all the individual replies, its just slightly easier that way!

I've definitely had an increased sense of smell since before I knew I was pregnant! It's what made me think I might be!

We told our eldest son about the baby at the weekend as he was worried that I'd had to go for a lay down, my nausea was horrendous on Saturday. He's thrilled but keeps saying he wants the baby to be a girl [emoji51] Hope we don't disappoint him! He'll be happy either way, I'm sure

Full blown meltdown today guys. My emotions are running wild. I'm trying to buy a new car, plus my parents are in town. I heard they stopped at one of the only restaurants I can eat at, without offering me food and I just lost it. Am I crazy?!!

[hotlikemexico]

Just a super quick update, I’ll come back and reply to the rest later... just left my prenatal appointment, STILL NO PANORAMA RESULTS. I’m so upset. I feel silly being upset, but at the same time, what the heck!!

My midwife told me to call the office at 10am tomorrow to see if they’ve gotten the results yet, and if not, it’s early enough in the day that they can call the Natera rep and ask what’s up...

And now I’m heading back home to log back into work for an hour and try to take my mind off of it... [emoji20]

Disneylover- definitely not crazy! I agree with hakrueg, the hormones make us way more emotional for sure. I’ve lost my sh*t over some things that normally would barely bother me. Especially over food, that would really make me upset too!

hakrueg- love those pics! That’s a super cute theme! [emoji4]

I was actually 0-3 at my midwife appt today. [emoji24] First, still no panorama. Second, couldn’t hear the heartbeat with the Doppler. [emoji20] Third, I really wanted to get my flu shot while I was already in the office, but the office was out! [emoji30]

Not being able to hear the heartbeat made me really nervous. I asked her if that was bad, she said no. First she said that you usually can’t hear until 12w+, but tried anyway since I’ll be 12w tomorrow. Also, I have a retroverted uterus (it points towards my back instead of my front, which I already know), AND she said my c/s scar from DS2 is right where the top of my uterus is now. So she said the retroverted uterus plus the extra scar tissue from the c/s just made it where it wasn’t possible to hear it. [emoji3525] But my uterus is definitely growing, I could feel it as she was moving the Doppler all around haha! So at least that’s reassuring. Plus I have my NT scan on Friday afternoon so at least I’ll get to see baby again then!

She also agreed with me that we should definitely skip out on my mother in law’s pre thanksgiving get together that she always does the weekend before thanksgiving. This year she’s narrowed it down to “immediate family only” ... which still ends up being 20+ people from 7 households under one roof with no masks or distancing! She said definitely not worth the risk for ANY of us to go, and that even if only DH and/or the boys went, it would be the same as if I went too. None of our families know I’m pregnant yet, so I’m HOPING that will soften the blow a bit when we tell her WHY we’re not going... but it made me feel better to hear from the midwife too that we should skip.

Anyone else thought about what you’ll be doing for holiday/family gatherings with covid?

Ran upstairs and woke up DH. Shaking. Most important: low risk!! THANK THE UNIVERSE.

Now, the part everyone has been waiting for:

I was wondering the same Bunnygirl. What’s going on? I was feeling ‘girl vibes at the beginning but now I have very little faith it actually is going to be a girl :( I’m so sad for everyone although I know having a healthy baby is our ultimate wish as mothers but GD is hard...

[fifi17]

HLM I'm glad you finally got your results, sorry it wasn't the sway result you were hoping for though [emoji17] Glad everything is healthy though.

Definitely agree, give yourself time to process it and feel all the emotions you need. I totally thought you were going to be successful, does seem to have been a fair few opposites [emoji15]

Also where I am (UK) they won't even try the doppler until 16 weeks at the midwife, and even then it comes with the warning they might not pick anything up so I'm surprised they try before for you!

I go in for my blood test today and now I'm hella nervous. I'm still trying to be positive, I still have girl vibes. But I'm so sorry so far no one has gotten what they swayed for.

[reddevil]

Hi everyone - have just caught up with this thread and hoping I could join you.
REally sorry to see all the opposites, and hope everyone is ok.

I got a BFP last Thursday. It was a massive shock as we hadn't really started TTC. We were trying to discuss TTC and if we wanted to (already have DS3 and DS1). I wasn't sure I could handle another DS and if I was only doing it to get a DD I didn't want to do it. My DH was being a complete pain and not having mature conversations about it, so we basically didn't talk for 3 weeks, then I finally lost it with him, told him to be mature (after quite a lot of wine!) we talked for a while and ended up BD without protection. The next day I freaked out and we used protection from then on. Lo and behold I am pregnant form that one time. So annoyed with myself as I only had about 3 weeks on LE diet - I wanted at least 6 if we were going to try.
I was distraught when I got the BFP but have come round to the idea now but am SO nervous to find out gender. Whats done is done now, but it will be another 5 weeks or so until I can get NIPT. I think about it constantly.
Can't admit how I feel to anyone apart from on here, and have only told one friend and DH so far and will prob keep it that way until we get results.

[Pretty]

There are not a lot of opposites. We are still in the realm we were in 2019. Sometimes when we have a support thread going, we have several opposites in the support thread and people get upset, but that support thread is not the site as a whole.

Sometimes if you take a handful of 50-50 pink and blue M and M's, you get more of one than the other but it doesn't mean that the numbers of M and M's have changed really. Same goes for swaying - the smaller the sample size, the more likely it is to be skewed. It's only when we look at bigger sample sizes we can see what is working and what isn't.

[atomic sagebrush]

If you are getting opposites I need you guys to BE SURE you have messaged me to be sure you're added to the yearly tallies I keep. I sometimes miss them when they're added to these threads as I don't read every post. We want our results as accurate as possible.

So my Appointment today was a joke. My doctor wasn't even there so they were super confused about what I had ordered. They told me at first that I had to have a pap. Then said no I didn't. THey also told me I could have my nipt today. Then retracted that too. Basically I sat in there for two hours for a glucose and hiv blood draw. Like wtf. I'm so pissed because I really wanted to do a cute gender thing for Halloween. Like I was shaking and crying when I left the office I was so upset. I'm tempted to do sneak peek clinical. I can literally go on Thursday! Is it worth the 129???? I'm thinking yes.

Good point Atomic, thank you for restoring some hope. I haven’t been in this group for long but ever since I’ve joined it’s only been sway opposites which amplifiers it a bit! But you’re right, it is just a handful of us chatting so we’re not seeing the big picture.

Come on mammas, let’s turn this around xx

Did you get the NIPT test done Disneylover? Is that what you were scheduled in to do? I’m sorry it was a stressful experience!! How exciting that you’re only a week or so away from knowing who is growing inside! :awe: I don’t know if you need to do sneak peek as well if you’ve just find NIPT because that would be more accurate anyway wouldn’t it?

Congratulations on your BFP reddevil, how exciting! You never know, you could definitely still get your DD. It sounds like there was only one attempt in the fertile window! Do you know when your due date will be? Wondering what the gender is sends me on a bit of a rollercoaster too so I understand your worries especially when you hadn’t 100% decided you wanted another baby yet.

I hope you can join us soon Pretty! 2020 is certainly cray cray. Last year I had absolutely ZERO intention of having any more babies and 2020 comes round and I’ve been pregnant twice!! What is this year?! Haha :p

[Disneylover]

Did you get the NIPT test done Disneylover? Is that what you were scheduled in to do? I’m sorry it was a stressful experience!! How exciting that you’re only a week or so away from knowing who is growing inside! :awe: I don’t know if you need to do sneak peek as well if you’ve just find NIPT because that would be more accurate anyway wouldn’t it? Hugs x

No I didn't get it done. That's the problem here. My doctor was out and I kept getting miscommunication left and right. Last appt my doctor told me I would be getting the nipt today. Even the midwife today told me that. But the nurse and intern said no not until my next appt. which is 3+ weeks away. I really don't want to wait that long because we have been planning a Halloween reveal. That's why I'm wanting to do the sneak peek. At least then I'll know like in a few days! I just really have this feeling it's a girl and I really would like to have that confirmed to start planning. I feel like if I was nervous it was a boy I'd be trying to push it back more. Idk I'm just very frustrated with my office today.

[g.pooja812]

Okay, ladies. Surprise of my life! 1am, finished watching my show, I said “let me check my Natera portal for funsies before I go to bed!” ... AND MY PANORAMA RESULTS WERE POSTED!!!!!!

Ran upstairs and woke up DH. Shaking. Most important: low risk!! THANK THE UNIVERSE.

Now, the part everyone has been waiting for:

Count me in the 2020 pink sway OPPOSITES! It hasn’t hit yet... I think I am still in shock. It’s now 130am, not even sure how I’ll be able to sleep tonight...

Oh how frustrating!! I’d be tempted to do the sneak peek test too but would you announce based on those results because they’re not always accurate? 3+ weeks feels like ages away though when you’re feeling so ready to find out :(

Yea I would do the clinical version of sneak peek. It's a tad more expensive but at least that way I know it's accurate. I also know I can't prick my own finger. I've tried before and failed. Hahah, plus the clinical one says you can get results next day!

A good friend of mine got totally wrong results doing the clinical version. She was told girl, but had a strong feeling she was having a boy and it was wrong. Her intuition was right and she had a boy. I don’t know exactly how these non-medical tests are supposed to work, but I’ve seen them wrong enough to not trust them. They always have excuses for the wrong result, too. If it’s a false boy it was contaminated by a male having existed anywhere near you. If it’s a false girl there wasn’t enough fetal cells to test or you did it too soon.

Well this bums me out:( I mean I guess I just figured clinical would mean it can't get contaminated and they should tell me if there's inconclusive amount of fetal dna. I know I could wait until NIPT but then I won't get an answer until like 13-14 weeks. Ugh. This is all so frustrating. I wish they would have just done it today like they were supposed to.

Oh in that case why not! I know I couldn’t do it on myself either!! How exciting that you can know so soon :)

Ahh edited to add that I’ve just read Bunnygirl’s experience. It doesn’t sound very reassuring after all!! I think if you want 100% accuracy it will be best to wait until the NIPT but I understand that it feels like a lifetime away when you were expecting to get it done today.

I likely won’t get results until 12-13 weeks either. My office used to run them at 9 weeks, but they were getting enough inconclusive results with too low of a fetal fraction that needed retesting (this is more likely to happen if you are overweight) that they now make you wait until 10w3d to be drawn and then it takes about two weeks for the results to come back. We’re unsure if we are going to find out the gender along with the rest of the test, though.

I've had my first appointment with my midwife today, well a midwife as she is retiring this week so not sure who I'll see next time! Just got to wait for my scan appointment to come through the post now, which will be for around 12 weeks.

Nausea turned into actually being sick this morning with very little warning [emoji15] only once thankfully.

How is everyone feeling?

So I caved and did the sneak peek clinical! I should have my result by Monday at the latest. While I agree it's possible to not have enough dna to find male dna I really didn't see how those could be contaminated.everything was clean, the girl drawing blood seemed very knowledgeable. I felt very good about all of it. I keep seeing a girl result in my head. At this point we're debating even doing the NIPT. Only because my office tests for other things using an ultrasound. I'm so excited guys!!

I too have seen some false results on even the clinical Sneak Peek.

I don't know what it is this past week with the Sneak Peek (no one was doing it and suddenly tons of people are doing it) but I do not think it's a good test, I do not recommend it, and suggest you guys all save your money for the NIPT which is more reliable. And under NO circumstances do the at home Sneak Peek!

[Abifasc]

I did peekaboo which is new and put out by the DDC. I got a boy result. I was sure I was having a girl. There’s a Facebook group for people taking the test and peekaboo made a giant mistake on a ton of tests and a lot of results were wrong. I’m hoping mine is too! I have an ultrasound on Tuesday at 12 weeks and then again at 15 weeks so I’ll know soon.

Hey ladies. I've been creeping this thread for awhile but have finally come to terms with posting. I am unexpectedly pregnant and due in June sometime. I have no idea when as I have no idea when I was ovulating or conceived. My dd2 was born in January (failed blue sway) and we love her to pieces but we wanted to wait to try until she was 18 months to try again so we could have a chance at blue. We did more blue friendly things but I feel not enough. I'm like 99% we are having our third girl in June :( I will love this girl just as much as our others but it is very hard coming to terms with being pregnant so soon and not having swayed at all. I am a control freak and so this not being in my plans is hard to come to term with.
I am so sorry for all the opposites I have seen and I wish you all peace and very healthy pregnancies and babies [emoji177]

I had my first appointment and ultrasound today and was quite disappointed with the tech. She couldn’t find anything, except sort of the sac abdominally. She switched to transvaginal and still got horrible views and images. Baby was very hard to see and when she was trying to measure baby’s size she wasn’t measuring the full length of the fetal pole. She also didn’t zoom in enough to accurately capture the heartbeat, although it was flickering away. She got a measurement of 120 and 150. Her measurements of baby showed baby to be 12 days small and said I wasn’t that far along. However, it’s impossible for my dates to be that far off. I would have gotten a positive pregnancy test before I even ovulated and my first beta level of 439 would have been at 4DPO. My doctor agrees this is impossible. I’m very aggravated and frustrated over all this and now I’m worried that baby really is that far behind and it’s a bad sign. I wish I’d never gone to my appointment now because it’s done nothing but upset me.

[Flowergirl]

Oh Bunnygirl, I feel for you. My first scan went much the same where I left with so much uncertainty. My obstetrician measured a sac which was empty and measuring 9 days behind where I actually was meant to be measuring. He then said he thinks he can see 2 sacs so I left feeling like I possibly had a twin pregnancy that hadn’t progressed in over a week.

Thankfully I had a referral for a proper ultrasound a few days later where after an abdominal that they “couldn’t see much” they did a transvaginal and picked up on the yolk sac, fetal pole etc. and everything measured perfectly.

If I were you I’d ask for another scan maybe elsewhere for peace of mind. I’m so confident everything would be on track for you because your beta levels have always been so reassuring.

For reference this is what my transvaginal scan looked like exactly a week ago at 6 weeks 2 days :awe:

[Flowergirl]

Actually Bunnygirl, can I ask you - did you find your girl pregnancies all similar and the boy pregnancies all similar or was it a complete mixed bag for you? I’m definitely craving sweets (as I did with my DD) but I’m sure I was more nauseous then this time around. Mind you I had two very active boys to look after when I was pregnant with my girl which I think exasperated the symptoms whereas my kiddies have all grown a bit more independent now so I’m possibly not as physically pushed. Just really curious!

[BunnyGirl19]

They were all different for me in terms of symptoms. I’ve ranged from no symptoms at all to full HG. No relation to gender.

[BunnyGirl19]

After talking with my doctor again this morning and him reviewing the ultrasound, he said the gestational sac and yolk sac were the correct size for my dates (measuring 7w1d), so he assumes the crown-rump measurement was just off due to poor visibility and that measurements can be off +/- 7 days normally. That makes me feel a little better, but I’m still stressing about how measurements could be that far off.

I think at 7 weeks its hard to measure as even 0.5mm makes a huge difference!

I had a 7 week scan with my eldest as we were using fertility drugs to conceive and they wanted to check for multiples, and I should have been 7 weeks but they measured him as 6+1. When I went for my 12 week scan, I was put forward 10 days, so the original 5 plus another 5 based on those measurements. Thing is, with the fertility treatment, my dates can only have been off by a day, if at all! Not sure if that helps at all. I think 7 weeks is still quite a difficult stage to measure, I know that my hospital wouldn't scan me until after 8 weeks last time when I needed an early scan as they said before that it's hard to date a pregnancy.

I had a monitored cycle with CD3 labs, CD10 ultrasound to check uterine lining, and then 7DPO ultrasound and labs to confirm ovulation. On the afternoon of 7DPO my HCG was 2. I got a faint BFP on a HPT the next afternoon. Considering all that, it’s impossible for baby to measure what the tech says. I’d have been pregnant before I ovulated by their dates. LOL!

[fifi17]

I remember saying exactly the same with F, if I used their dates it was nearly a week before I ovulated, absolutely impossible! Hope your next appointment shows more along the lines of what you're expecting.

Sneak peek clinical came back. It's a boy. I'm so numb. I don't know what to feel. Husband is mad at me because he thinks I'm refusing to let him be happy. He wants to celebrate. I want to die. I don't even know anymore.

Anyone know anything about sperm spinning? My husband refuses to do IVF for moral issues but is open to sperm spinning. I know it can't be done in the US. I'm just done leaving this up to chance. Even with swaying. I CANNOT have another boy, but I also WILLNOT give up my dream of a daughter.

[Flowergirl]

Disneylover I wish I knew what to say to help you to feel better. I know you were so sure this was your girl so you’re probably in shock and disbelief. Give yourself some time to absorb the news and hopefully the strong emotions will become easier to handle and you’ll feel better. I’m so sorry, my heart breaks for everyone who didn’t get their DG. I felt it with my 2nd son and although I wouldn’t trade him for the world and we had the most beautiful bond when he was a baby, I couldn’t hold and love on him enough, I remember crying and crying when I was pregnant and first found out he was a boy. It does pass and you will feel better I promise. Hugs x

[Flowergirl]

PS is there a chance it could be inaccurate Disneylover? I wouldn’t feel 100% confident until you get the NIPT?

[BunnyGirl19]

I’m sorry you didn’t get the results you were hoping for. It’s also possible the test was wrong. I’ve seen that a lot recently.

Shock is the wrong word. Hopeless pit of despair is probably better. I suppose there is a small chance they could be wrong. But when I try to google sneak peek clinical wrong I have only found like TWO stories. I feel it's pretty naive to put myself in that category that I could be like those two people. Yea I will wait until the NIPT I guess but I really don't want to get my hopes up thinking it's wrong then be shattered all over again.

Thanks for the support everyone. I feel fine right now. Because im really good at disassociating. I'm not too sure what that means. Like if everything's okay, or maybe it really isn't a boy. I have no idea. It feels separate from my body right now. I don't feel pregnant. I'm just me. Yep. It's kind of concerning how good I am at it, but yeah my next appt isn't until 12 weeks(in two weeks).

I'm so sorry it didn't go the way we were all hoping. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Some people do sell sperm spinning in the US. It is just Microsort that isn't done in the US. The unfortunate thing is that the Microsort works (but has very low rates of conception), and the sperm spinning really doesn't...the clinics will quote very high success rates but when you read the fine print it is spinning + IVF/PGD that yields those higher success rates and not just the sperm spinning alone. They often don't even HAVE sperm spinning success rates for their methods and will quote you some other person's "research" (which has been unable to be repeated by independent researchers.) I SO SO SO wish it worked but it just doesn't.

[Disneylover]

Thank you. My parents have offered to pay for more high tech options, but my husband just doesn't morally agree with IVF. That's why I asked about other things. I saw Microsoft and did seem like the results were pretty good but like you said, low conception rate. So I'm not sure if a trip to Mexico is worth it for that.

I know I might need to do PCOS diet for my next sway. I don't have that, but I do have the tendencies like longer cycles and more body hair. What do you see in terms of people swaying a second time with success rates?

Also part of me thinks my sneak peek is wrong. I know it's a long shot but I just can't help but FEEL it's wrong. Not in the "I hope it's wrong" but in the "I know it is." I'm just sad because I feel like swaying is all I've got. The money is no object for IVF but my husband won't do it. So here I am

[atomic sagebrush]

I understand, a lot of people's hubbies just aren't on board and in that case we will do what we can.

I always recommend the alternate diet for people with a sway opposite. We do have many people who had success after a failed sway (myself included) but I don't think we ever tracked that specifically.

I make no secret of the fact that I'm not a fan of Sneak Peek but the clinical is more reliable. It is probably wise to try to accept the results for now and then it may be a miracle happens, but at the least you're forewarned that you're probably going to hear blue. :heart:

The thing with Microsort is this - they can get a good mix of X and Y sperm, but that is no guarantee, unfortunately. I have seen SO many people do so SO many Microsort rounds (when I was originally on the InGender site, it was still being trialed in the US) and only two people got pregnant. Of those two, only one got their desired gender. The other woman had a boy with something like a 92% X sperm sort. All the other people invested all this time and money and had nothing to show for it, and the poor woman who got a boy was absolutely broken by the experience. I truly think the FDA did the right thing in banning MS with IUI because it caused endless amounts of heartache (including several people who spent so much time doing MS they ended up unable to get pregnant at all, and ended up with no money and no baby) I so, so wish it was possible to come up with some reliable way to select gender without the moral considerations but here and now it just doesn't seem to be possible in any reliable way. :heart:

[BunnyGirl19]

I tried sperm sorting in 2010 to conceive my DS1 whike swaying with girl diet from IG website. Got pregnant on second cycle with a high percentage of X sperm. We miscarried in the first trimester and testing showed it was a boy. We tried again using the diet and sorting and had an even higher X sperm percentage reported. I had DS1. DS2 was another failed sway using just IG’s girl diet. DD1 was a successful sway following the diet on this site. DS3 was an accident while on a 6-week course of prednisone and no swaying was done. My twins were two months into the LE diet, but I still had my IUD in. I conceived about 6 weeks before my appointment to have it removed. I’m not sure if I’d call the sway successful or not as I conceived G/G/B triplets, but ended up with G/B twins. DD3 was a successful GD sway as well. The pregnancy I lost in March I did not sway for. We had spontaneously decided to try for a baby and I ovulated within a couple days of that decision. We started swaying girl after our loss and after having testing done were told DH’s sperm parameters were at the low end of normal, as was my egg quality. My doctor put DH on zinc and me on folate, CoQ10, and inositol. We were only on them for three weeks before conceiving, so not a lot of time for them to do anything, but I also worry that somehow taking any sort of supplement for any period of time could have affected my girl sway. ����*♀️

[Disneylover]

I feel like th GD is worse this time than the last in some ways. Last time I I was a crying wreck but I still was able to take the weekly bump photos and be slightly happy.
I literally can't even open my pregnancy apps. I don't even wanna think about it anymore.
My husband and I had ANOTHER talk and I think we're finally getting somewhere. Possibly doing mini Ivf with microsort. That way we only get 2-3 embryos and hopefully they will all be girls. He just doesn't want the possibly of 8 embryos sitting somewhere or having to decide to get of boys. Even if we got 1 boy 1 girl I would still keep both. What do you guys think of this option?

What is mini IVF? I’m not familiar with the term.

[Disneylover]

What is mini IVF? I’m not familiar with the term.

It's more of a natural IVF so you don't have to take all the drugs beforehand. You still have to take one or two but none of the shots and all that. They only harvest 2-3 eggs instead of like 20. Then with ezivf(a form of mini) they can actually let the embryos grow inside you that way they have a better chance of reaching blastocyst.

Slight complication for me, my initial bloods with my midwife showed abnormal thyroid function so I now have to go to see the consultant next week to see what treatment I need. It may mean an early scan (I'll be 10 weeks so not early but earlier than planned) to check baby's viability but I'm feeling fairly positive with how crap I've been feeling that all is ok! Well that and I feel like I have the start of a tiny bump, but that may just be a food baby[emoji23] although my appetite has been shocking!

My doctor ordered more blood work for me since I was adamant their ultrasound dating was wrong. Yesterday when my originally due date would put me at 8w0d (7w5d by ovulation date) gave me a progesterone of 43 and my HCG was 159,000-something. Again, much more consistent for the range of my dates than their dating. My next ultrasound isn’t until 11/11.

Hello ladies,

I am due 9th May and had swayed pink (I will post my sway) I have two DS’s aged 5 and 9.


I had been waiting to post in this group until I got confirmation of my babies gender which I am now pretty certain of.

I submitted a private 11w 6day and NSH 12 week 1 day scans to various nub websites (I know I shouldn’t but I just couldn’t help myself) Anyway I feel devastated as both the nub techs and nubologist both said boy [emoji22]

I understand that these are rather early but if they are seeing a raised nub now I feel I’m guaranteed another boy. I feel like all the hope I had for the first girl in our family is gone and I’ll never have a daughter

Hello ladies,

I am due 9th May and had swayed pink (I will post my sway) I have two DS’s aged 5 and 9.


I had been waiting to post in this group until I got confirmation of my babies gender which I am now pretty certain of.

I submitted a private 11w 6day and NSH 12 week 1 day scans to various nub websites (I know I shouldn’t but I just couldn’t help myself) Anyway I feel devastated as both the nub techs and nubologist both said boy [emoji22]

I understand that these are rather early but if they are seeing a raised nub now I feel I’m guaranteed another boy. I feel like all the hope I had for the first girl in our family is gone and I’ll never have a daughter

I hope you’re okay. Hugs xx Will you get NIPT to confirm gender or wait til 19 week scans?

[polaris.kai]

So sorry to hear people's opposites. I hope everyone can start healing we are always here[emoji177]

He looks perfect Abifasc, I’m sorry you didn’t hear pink this time.

I’m not sure if I should go for the NIPT test, to be honest I was going to stay team green but I couldn’t help myself submitting scans for nub predictions.

I submitted scan pictures to 4 different nub sites. All of them used a different image which is frustrating. The two boy predictions were very detailed with the outline drawn on, but after sleeping on it I’m not 100% convinced.

The one the nubologist used was quite blurry and baby was clearly moving, they gave a 85% accuracy rating and said the nub was 32 degrees. The nub techs also said boy and used a different image and said that the nub was stacked, which was not something you could see on any of the other images.

The other two sites said girl but they were less detailed and offered no explanation as to why.

Maybe I’m clutching at straws. All the old wives tales and Ramzi said girl and the skull looked so different from my boys I was so hopeful. I think I need to start accepting boy or get a definitive answer [emoji31]

I will try to upload the pictures but I was having issues previously

Oh no how that’s disheartening Mrs_Holms. Hard that you got those early signs saying girl now some boy. I’ve had girl ramzi guesses today and it’s hard not to become hopeful. Will it bug you not 100% knowing if you don’t do NIPT?

[BunnyGirl19]

If it makes you feel any better, my DD1 was guessed like 90% boy. I only got one girl guess based on her nub. DH and I felt very sure we were having a girl and got all girl Ramzi guesses and then the nub guessing groups were pretty much all saying boy.

[Mrs_Holms]

Thank you Bunnygirl, it does massively!

I’ve read research about the accuracy of the nub angle being very accurate but then they were in controlled environments where the angle is precisely measured and not from a blurry scan picture. Although I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up just in case but the more I look at the predictions the more I am questioning them.

My DH and I agreed to stay team green so I felt the nub predictions were not really finding out but I just felt so devastated when they said boy [emoji53]

Sometimes I’m my own worse enemy, and I should have just not looked into at all or out out for certain.

On a more positive note I am so glad I found this site and ladies who feel like me about gender desire; when I’m around my family and friends it’s as though I’m the only one who feels like this

[BunnyGirl19]

I feel like there is a better guess if you’re actually watching the ultrasound versus printed images. With my girls the nub didn’t move much when baby moved, but the boy nubs were more “floppy” and moved around more when baby moved.

Hello everyone,

I had my dating scan today at 7 weeks 3 days today and baby is measuring right on the track. I was so blessed and happy to see the little bean. It was so disheartening for me to have 2 losses in last 1 year and lost all the hopes that I would be able to give sibling to my daughter who really needs it. God answered my prayers [emoji120]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201028/bf46850623822d9e09f9d238660cb635.jpg

This is an abdominal ultrasound, heart rate measured as 142.

I’m 8 weeks and 2 days now and have just started vomiting with my nausea and just so exhausted. I felt like this pregnancy was too good to be true until this week, now I’m up struggle street! I’m scared the next month is going to be like this. At least! I vomited with my daughter and it never really stopped until she was born :(

Thank you dear! I hear you completely.. I have been vomiting 5-6 times a day since 6 weeks. Now my doc has put me on zofran as nothing else was working.. I have lost 6lbs in 1 week[emoji17].. I hope you feel better soon! Are you taking something to ease the nausea?

Oh no!! You poor thing, you started early. It’s so exhausting when you’re vomiting too isn’t it. I was sick 7 times yesterday. My doctor has written a prescription for maxolon incase I needed it, I’m thinking I will get it made up today because I’m constantly feeling sick. I thought I dodged a bullet but it’s hit me hard now! Hopefully a good sign of healthy, strong babies after our losses :heart:

How is everybody travelling? Ladies who have received your gender news, are you feeling okay? Those who are yet to find out are you as anxious as I am? I’m on such a rollercoaster with it.

Hey, thankfully Zofran is working a bit and I am feeling lil better! But too tired to do anything.. I am 8 weeks today.. I am anxious too however didn’t sway for anything , so just praying for a healthy baby this time. I will go for NIPT test around 18th Nov so too nervous! Wait is killing me! How are you doing? Did you take NIPT test?

Yes. I am so anxious to find out. I have tried telling myself it is a girl since I am sick again and don't want to get my hopes up. I know symptom spotting is useless but it just feels like my girl pregnancies did :( maybe the universe will surprise me this time. I feel so bad because I am grateful and we wanted more kids but I'm having a hard time getting excited? Idk we haven't even confirmed with the doc yet due to covid they want to wait. so I've only had a positive test. And I'm chasing after my two little girls so maybe its just being busy that it hasn't sunk in yet. I do feel bad because I told my husband if its another girl it'll just kinda be "meh business as usual" since we already have two.

I’m also so exhausted, it’s debilitating. I’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow. The nausea is awful too, not feeling like the meds are helping much. I wish I could just curl up and sleep for a month haha!

I’m thinking I’ll do my NIPT when I’m 10 weeks 3 days so that will be on the 13th. The closer it gets the more I’m realising I really really want this one to be a girl. I feel like I’m going to struggle a bit with 4 because I really have no support and I run my business on my own so I’m fearful that if it’s another boy I’ll feel upset that I’ve had another one. I’m so scared. I know I’ll absolutely love my baby regardless and a healthy baby is our ulitimate wish, I think GD is just kicking in a bit more now that I’m feeling overwhelmed with what’s on my plate while I’m so exhausted/nauseous...

I can relate. I’m feeling anxious because my youngest goes to school next year so it’s been a big commitment to go back to sleepless nights and nappy changing etc. I just hope I don’t feel depressed if we get another boy. I feel so blessed that we did get our girl last sway I’m just freaking out about having 4 now that my symptoms are at an all time high and I’m struggling a little bit with what’s on my plate as it is.

I wish I could give you alllll my blue dust in exchange for your pink. It’s such a huge commitment to have another baby when you have a DG and there’s no guarantee you’ll get them.

[BunnyGirl19]

I’m completely exhausted all day every day and struggle to do what I need to. Except I also have restless sleep and insomnia issues. I’m hoping this phase passes soon. LOL

Hey I really hope you get your desired gender this time! Symptoms barely tell you anything and i can bet on this. I have seen my friends vomiting whole day , hospitalized twice due to dehydration in her first trimester.. however she delivered a healthy baby boy! So you know never! I will keep you in my prayers for a healthy baby boy[emoji4]

Bunnygirl I feel like I have no right complaining about exhaustion when I think of your tribe you’re handling! :bowdown:

I also suffer from insomnia and have to take things to help me sleep otherwise I’d be even more useless! I think it was all the years waking and breastfeeding (6 years of feeding), it’s made me such a light/terrible sleeper.

Finally was able to get in and confirm with the ob but then thats all it was :( usually it's a test, labs, meeting OB and ultrasound but due to covid it was just a test. OB nurse will call in a few days to set everything else up. Was really hoping to see baby and hear heartbeat so it would sink in but will just have to wait a week

I had an early scan last week at what shoud've been 6weeks.
I BD on 2nd Oct, but not sure when I ovulated. There was a sac but it was empty - no yolk or fetal pole visible. Going back next Tuesday to see if it's grown. argh the waiting is killing me. One week to go.

Hang in there reddevil :heart: I had the same thing when my obstetrician did an abdominal scan at 5 weeks and 6 days although he thought he saw two empty sacs so I had no idea what was in store! I had a transvaginal scan at 6 weeks and 2 days with a sonographer and they found a yolk sac and fetal pole and heartbeat! And ONE sac so a lot more clarity on everything thank goodness! I think it’s pretty common to see nothing when your 6 weeks or less with an abdominal scan. I hope that gives you a bit of peace of mind.

I also hosted a Halloween party which was full on then had to work the next day. I feel like I’ve hit a wall today because the last 4 days have been non-stop. I’m very very nauseous today too.

Thank you so much. It would be my ultimate dream come true if this little rainbow is a baby girl but I’m also just concentrating on babies health at the moment. We had our loss at 11 weeks last time and I’m only 9 weeks now so feeling quite anxious. I’m scared to get the NIPT results when they come. I just want everything to be okay. :awe:

Bleeding slowed to pink-brown when I wipe and they couldn’t tell me where the bleeding is from or much else. Baby was seen with a heartbeat, but they didn’t measure it or baby’s size. I have an appointment with my doctor next Wednesday, so I hope things stay okay.

[Flowergirl]

Okay a heartbeat is reassuring. I wish they measured baby for you and were able to detect where the bleeding was stemming from. I had a sub choronic haemorrhage with my last baby and they could pick that up on ultrasound. It would just help ease your mind a bit to have more clarity. I’m so glad baby still looks okay though, will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, hope you’re feeling okay :heart:

This morning I have a lot of brown discharge, but no pink or red at this point. I’m hoping it all lets up completely so I can stop stressing so much. The best they could tell me was that maybe I had a small SCH that they weren’t seeing or that it was my cervix. It was just a small portable bedside machine that they did my scan with. They did have me stop my Lovenox and aspirin for a few days in case it’s contributing to the bleeding.

I sent away for a ramzi test to see if another group also thought girl and they did which is amazing but I know they can inaccurate so trying to still prepare myself for blue. I hadn’t heard of ramzi with my other 3 so I think it’s just a novelty to me at the moment haha.

Ultrasound done Friday afternoon showed baby measured 8w6d, but no longer a heartbeat. I would have been 9w4d by gestation. We’re having testing done on baby to see if anything was wrong, but the doctor said it was likely due to a combination of my age and my blood clotting disorder. They expect testing back by the end of next week.

It must be so hard not having had an appointment yet. Without even a dating scan you probably have no gender clues either aside from the nausea (which I keep reading doesn’t mean much at all!). How many weeks do you think you’d be now?

I’m going okay, almost 11 weeks. Had my NIPT done a couple days ago so anxiously waiting those results to know everything is okay and if our sway worked :fingers::awe:

Congrats mommylife! [emoji322][emoji170] I believe thirdtimelucky also had a successful (pink) sway.

Bunnygirl - I’m so, so sorry. [emoji174] I wish there was something I could do or say to help. I’m thinking of you and your family. [emoji177]

Also, I’m sorry for disappearing on you all! Thank you to everyone for all your comments and support, and those who private messaged me too, thank you so much! [emoji170] I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten back to anyone yet (I will, I promise!). I’ve been keeping up with the posts in this thread, I just had to step back from the site for a bit. It’s still hard for me to come here. [emoji53]

It’s like abifasc and I had both mentioned a while back. I love having boys and being a boy mom! At this point I’m actually excited for a boy! [emoji170] We’re about 97% sure Miles will be his name and we’ve been calling him that already. [emoji4] It’s just that this is almost definitely our last baby, and the thought of never having a daughter still makes me SO sad.

I had my NT scan three days after we got the NIPT back and it was great! Normal NT measurement, and it was SO cool to see him looking like an actual baby already. He was moving all around! I actually had tears seeing him. That helped me SO much. I’m 15+4 today and have been feeling tiny flutters for a few weeks now, and I love it. [emoji170] I have my next appt on Tuesday at 16w and I’m excited to finally be able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler in the office!

I’m not sure why it’s so hard for me to come here still. At this point I almost feel like I’m dealing with this awful sense of “I failed” rather than gender disappointment, if that makes sense. There’s still a huge part of me that is sad at the thought of never having a daughter... but almost more than that, I almost feel like, what was the point? What did I do wrong? Looking at even just the 2020 stats alone, there are SO many pink sway successes. I did only the things that work for most people, most of the time. LE diet, exercise, one attempt, and alcohol, coffee, and fiber. I don’t know what I could have done differently. Maybe the PCOS diet? However, I’m not even sure I COULD do that — I actually lost TOO MUCH weight, I was underweight when I got my bfp. I struggled at the end with trying to keep on weight and had just started to increase my calories and fat when I got my bfp. I almost feel like cutting out sugar on the PCOS diet would make me lose TOO much weight, I’m not sure I could do it. So what else even is there? Nothing!

I still feel like we might just be “too fertile” of a couple to have a girl. Despite all the weight I lost, and being underweight, my body kept right on ovulating on CD13, as it’s done basically for the last 9 years (I’ve charted on and off since 2011). We had only ONE attempt (perfectly timed, of course, but still) and I STILL got pregnant on the first try. I’ve actively never experienced a negative pregnancy test (and I’m SO thankful for that!). I’ve been pregnant three times — three times TTC, three times pregnant on the first try, including the this time with just one attempt. And three boys. I know the average couple has something like a 30% chance of getting pregnant each month, even with perfect timing, yet it’s happened for us every single time we’ve ever tried. I just think that together, as a couple, there must be something that increases our chances to more than the average couple? And the entire point of swaying pink is to lower fertility enough to still get pregnant but up the chances of a girl. Maybe we are just TOO fertile together, that no matter what we do, it’s just not enough to lower us into the pink territory?

I just don’t know. I was destined to be a boy mom, I suppose! And clearly this little boy was meant to be ours. In the end, we just wanted another BABY. The day after I got my NIPT results, someone in my May due date group on Reddit got her results and they could only find one X chromosome. They told her there was a number of things it could be (including lab error) but it was a super stressful experience for her, and that kind of put things into perspective for me. My NIPT results were all low risk, and I had a great NT scan, and everything is going perfect so far. We could be in a completely different situation right now, and I’m so grateful that we are not. [emoji170] Plus, my due date is in exactly the time frame we were hoping for, so the timing is absolutely perfect! We have absolutely nothing to be upset about, other than the fact that we didn’t get the girl we hoped for.

I hope it will get easier for me to post here, because I miss it! I think I just need to shake the feeling of failure. Every time I come on here I’m instantly reminded of all that I did and it just brings back the overwhelming feeling of failure and sadness. I know it’s silly, I didn’t fail - I’m making a baby! It’s still so crazy to think, sometimes I still can’t believe I’m actually pregnant again! I’m going to try my hardest to keep up here because I miss posting and talking with you all!

Thanks for reading my ramblings if you made it this far. [emoji170]

Ultrasound done Friday afternoon showed baby measured 8w6d, but no longer a heartbeat. I would have been 9w4d by gestation. We’re having testing done on baby to see if anything was wrong, but the doctor said it was likely due to a combination of my age and my blood clotting disorder. They expect testing back by the end of next week.

Oh bunnygirl19, I’m so so sorry to hear it [emoji22] As a person who had 3 miscarriages out of 6 pregnancies I know how heartbreaking it is every single time. Sending you hugs and thinking of you xxxx

I’m so glad you posted again HLM, I was wondering how you were! I feel your pain about wanting a girl so bad, I had it when I found out my DS2 was a boy (He is the most amazing human being though and I would not swap him for a million girls right now). I know having a healthy baby is what matters most but the desire for a daughter was there nevertheless! You are also lucky to not have miscarriages (I have had 3, so my success rate is only 50%). Plus also you and your DH are still young, maybe a few years down the track you decide to have another bub? I know a woman who had two boys and was desperate for a daughter, got pregnant after years of trying at 37 with a girl and lost her at 27 weeks! Then had two girls at 39 and (a surprise) 41! Wishing you all the very best with this pregnancy! love the name!!!! P.S. and you definitely didn’t fail! No one really knows what works/decides the gender from all those things that we tweak. I thought you had a perfect sway!

It must be so hard not having had an appointment yet. Without even a dating scan you probably have no gender clues either aside from the nausea (which I keep reading doesn’t mean much at all!). How many weeks do you think you’d be now?

I’m going okay, almost 11 weeks. Had my NIPT done a couple days ago so anxiously waiting those results to know everything is okay and if our sway worked :fingers::awe:I think I'm around 10 weeks based on LMP. But its almost guaranteedto be adjusted as my cycles were longer. I have a scan on Tuesday so its soon! But yeah I feel like I've been waiting to see baby forever lol

So good to hear from you HLM, I’ve been thinking of you and hoping you’re going okay! I’m so glad you saw your sweet boy and was able to bond with him. Love the name Miles! I hope you feel like you can come on here more if you enjoy chatting to us! I don’t ever think of opposites as a ‘failed sway’ but that God had plans for us that will make sense one day and they are always better than what we could ever plan for ourselves. I know it probably doesn’t lessen the longing you have in your heart for a DD but hopefully you can feel like it’s not ever something you did or didn’t do. Oh and I was SURE we had shut up shop with our 3 but here I am 5 years later with #4 on the way!! :)

So glad you're back! I feel the same. I haven't been on here in forever either because it was just too painful. I'm still holding onto a small shred of hope my sneak peek was wrong. I took my NIPT last week but honestly I don't think I'm going to hear those results. We're just going to wait until our ultrasound. In all honesty I wish I wouldn't have found out anything until birth but it's too late for that now lol. I can't imagine deciding it's your last child and dealing with never having a girl. My husband had a brief few hours after he found out where he acted like that and I couldn't handle it. That feeling was something I never want to feel again. At this point hubby and I have agreed that if this is indeed a boy we are 1000% doing ivf. My parents are going to help pay for it, and hopefully we will get one or two healthy girls that way :)! Feel free to message me anytime. I'm always here to talk

Finally saw baby today. Healthy! We got pushed back a week as dating scan only measured 9wk 3d but that was expected since I was having longer cycles and had no idea when I ovulated.

Embaressed to say I'm starting to spiral a little bit as heart rate was 167bpm which is girl territory. I know heart rate doesn't matter and people have had boys with high heart rate but with both my previous girls being in the 160s I have no hope left since nausea and heart rate both point to girl [emoji24][emoji24] maybe I will be surprised but even my OB kept saying girl since I've been so sick and heart rate was high.

We wanted more children so I am grateful for a healthy baby over everything. [emoji177] thanks for listening ladies and I hope everyone is having their ideal pregnancy.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201118/6d953446c9e9ec5697a731030a1d8b6b.jpg

Seriously heart rate is debunked! At least in the way people take it. It is actually scientificly proven but it's shown girls have a higher heart rate...starting at 36 weeks lol. And of course rhis is on average so it really doesn't work unless you have a different baby to compare to. Either way I wouldn't worry! Plus your early babies always have high heart rates early! As for having my desired pregnancy... I mean the sickness has subsided but I'm always tired. And my back is KILLING me. Like I mean I'm so much pain I can barely move. Still craving sweets. Still anti- spicy or Mexican or like idk anything I wanted with my last pregnancy lol. Still holding onto that 1/100 chance my sneak peak was wrong.

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh no I'm so sorry to read this Bunny. :heart:

[atomic sagebrush]

Heart rate is completely debunked. It is gestation ALONE that determines heart rate and not gender. So since you've had girls in the past, it is meaningless what their heart rate was because it was their gestation. This means nothing.

FWIW my girl had a lower heart rate than a couple of her brothers.

Your OB should know better. Terrible advice. Not only has heart rate been debunked, but the idea that sick = girl is also debunked (in several studies now). ONLY in cases of hyperemesis did they find a SLIGHT increase in the number of girls, and it was minor. Like 53% girls, 47% boys. That is still very close to 50-50 and no connection was found to normal morning sickness.

Again, my girl debunks this old wives tale - 3 of my sons I was quite sick, one of my sons and my daughter I was barely sick at all. I have talked to I'm sure nearly 100k people by now about symptoms and there is NO TREND there. None whatsoever. I am always on the lookout for trends and there is nothing there to be found.

:agree: the only study that ever found any correlation with heart rate and gender was more like 39 weeks. And that was just one study, other studies have found other results. Early pregnancy, the only thing that determines heart rate is gestation, not gender.

Well I got my NIPT results! Healthy baby! Yay. We didn't find out what gender that said though. We want to wait until ultrasound. I know NIPT are accurate. But there are some of them that have a 1.2% inaccuracy rate for gender . I know this isn't a lot when you say it like that, but that's 1/77 people. My gut just doesn't trust it, for the gender part at least. So we are holding out :) especially after my sneak peek results. I'm just over the blood test stuff.

I’ve had some brown discharge (TMI) and been to emergency because I’m so fearful something will go wrong or is wrong. Baby still has a heartbeat and looked happy. I’m not really any clearer on why or where the old blood came from, I’m praying it’s going to resolve. My obs noticed my placenta is low so he’ll keep an eye on that. My NIPT results are probably 3 working days away and my nuchal scan is in a week. I’m so scared :(

So glad you finally got to see your sweet baby! And they’re happy and healthy and you have a due date etc. gives you some more clarity! Will you do your NIPT in a week? I’m still (anxiously) awaiting my results...So I'm waiting for a call from our maternal fetal medicine! The base had to refer me out to do all the in depth stuff since I was high risk with my first. But whenever we get it set up I will have a super in depth scan and all the NIPT and genetic testing done [emoji3059] I wanna say last time they did it during week 12 so hopefully I won't be waiting super long.

Hi ladies! [emoji3531] I’m looking to chat with Atomic. I cannot login into my account on here. I’ve been booted off it before about a month ago. The only place I can write anything is in someone else’s thread. I’m sorry to intrude!

MFM just called and my scans and high risk stuff are coming up quick! Kinda disappointed as I'll only be 11+2 when they do the huge scan so nothing that will have nub shots or anything but NIPT should be accurate anyway so hopefully we will get the results super soon after that. Send me all your blue dust because I am spiraling [emoji24][emoji24][emoji170]

I think nub theory can be accurate with the right picture at the right gestation. I think some ladies on this site are pretty good with the nub theory if you want to post it on one of the guessing threads

I’ve had some brown discharge (TMI) and been to emergency because I’m so fearful something will go wrong or is wrong. Baby still has a heartbeat and looked happy. I’m not really any clearer on why or where the old blood came from, I’m praying it’s going to resolve. My obs noticed my placenta is low so he’ll keep an eye on that. My NIPT results are probably 3 working days away and my nuchal scan is in a week. I’m so scared :(

Hey Hope you are doing ok now! Don’t worry everything will be good.. sending prayers your way.. take care and keep me posted!

Thank you. I’m still getting brown discharge which is concerning me.

I’ve received my NIPT results and baby is healthy :) but it’s a boy. I’m not sure what to feel right now, it’s going to take a little while to process.

Sorry to hear FLowergirl. Must be a confusing time for you - fingers crossed everything goes well for you.


I have just caved and bought a sneakpeak on blackfriday sale - which I know is stupid as I've read enough here I wouldn't believe any result I got anyway (if it came back girl I'd be too worried it was too early for male DNA to show, and if it showed boy I"d think maybe it had got contaminated from my sons or husband!) But I'm finding time really dragging and so I just wanted something to break it up!

[Flowergirl]

It really is reddevil. I’m not sure what I feel right now. Relief that the baby is healthy but heartache that our dynamic is different to what I dreamed, confused by feeling “girl” this whole time so it feels like the rug has been pulled from under me, upset because I know we were content with 3 and now I’m putting strain on our whole family by having another baby. I don’t know.. I wish I felt joyous :( just right now I’m a bit lost and sad.

[Flowergirl]

Thank you for your kind support Polaris. It’s going to take a little while to process I think. I was fearful of how I’d feel if it was another boy but had so many girl signs that I though there was a chance we got our dream. I feel like I should be grateful (and I am) but I really should of considered having a boy for my 4th before I committed. I thought our sway would work again because I also had a loss and my age as extra tactics so to speak but it didn’t work and now I have a lot to get my head around... I hope I cope mentally, emotionally and physically with this pregnancy, I feel like I could of pushed through for a girl now I just feel like I’ve tipped everything over the edge :(

[Flowergirl]

I was obsessing over ways to find out gender to past the time too reddevil. Frustratingly they all came back girl and now my NIPT says boy so I’m completely lost after having false hope x
