thank you for sharing this Z! Very interesting and it's nice to have the links for all of us to see. :)
** just wanted to update, I'm having a girl
So I finally got my results from my 12week, 3 day blood work... what do you think??
HCG MOM - 1.3
PappA MOM - .97
NT MOM - .84
Just wanted to BUMP this up.
I got my NT bloods back also.
My free Beta HCG - 0.53
PAPP-A MoM - 0.88
If this theory is correct i will be having a boy.
Will keep you all updated
I will hopefully get a copy of mine on Tuesday but the sonographer said mine were all around the 1 mark - she thought girl from my nub so we'll see. My DS2 had abnormally high hcg levels though so that doesnt really relate to this?? It is interesting though
Dont forget to post you numbers Bimby.
I think the rule of thumb is, if both your numbers are over 1.0 MoM than its more likely a girl, if both your numbers are under 1.0 MoM than more likely a boy - If you have 1 number over 1.0, and the other under 1.0, then its 50/50.
Hope this makes sense?
For sure I will! Maybe DS2 was a 50/50 one - From what I saw at a glance at my scan my levels were both over 1 so hoping so, as that will make me even more confident that I have my little princess :) The nub was pretty girly but Im still not convinced
Just got my numbers today:
hcg MOM: 1.10
PAPP-A MOM: 1.08
NT MOM: 1.09
For reference, my DS1 values at week 16 were:
hcg MOM: 1.0
PAPP-A: 0.96
didn't do NT for him
So, we shall see! Not a big enough difference in my book to run out and buy pink, but still interesting nonetheless. I'll update in about 6 weeks! :)
