Got a private early scan booked in for 8+5 weeks. I'm not coping at all. I'm constantly anxious and thinking about if it happens again.

Had my first US today, yay for the heartbeat which is 183:omg:
I'm also measuring 3 days behind, but my Dr said it is nothing to worry at this early stage.
They also gave me a number for Maternity 21 test to see if I can negotiate the price with them. If not i can have a gender scan at 16 weeks, also was able to book next us a little bit over 12 weeks, so hopefully will have a nice nub shot:)
I was training to ask where the baby attached, the tech said it is in the middle on top, she was also trying to figure out from what ovary I ovulated, but was unable to detect it. When she was looking at the baby she moved the cursor on the left, when she was searching for the sack she was on the right, if to look at the pic by ramzi the baby is on the left if to flip the image. It is extremely hard not to look at those OWT like measuring behind, heart rate and the side:think:
I hate this stage. Hate it with a passion. Too many unknowns. I'd just love to fast forward to 20 weeks when I get to start feeling better and stop guessing if my pregnancy is viable. :(
How are you doing 5babies? I've been thinking about you!

I know I'll end up being happy no matter what but I want time to grieve a girl for a few weeks ( if my bean is a boy ) before announcing it to the world.

Yeah that is why I want to find out before birth too. I was toying with the idea of having a surprise but I don't think I can do it as I can't deal with other people comments. I guess its just a matter of when we can find out... maybe the price will drop again in the next month and a half :)
Good luck when you get your results! I really hope you hear girl! Do you find out tomorrow?
Yes... I rang the Dr on Friday and the results were in although he wasn't. I'm guessing he'll call us tomorrow. My fingers are crossed however despite all the changes I made before conceiving this time I think I'll be stunned if it's a girl. I'll definitely let you all know although I may lay low for a while afterwards... Just not sure how well I'll take it

GL Sunbuny! I'm sure you'll hear girl [emoji175]! I'm excited for you!!

Sun-how exciting!!

Five, I'm sorry this is so difficult for you. This is my least favorite time, as well, not only because you just don't know what is going on and have few reassurances (as if feeling sick 24/7 was a reassurance) but I also start thinking about all the things I need to enjoy with my other kids now before I get all huge and pregnant (but of course I feel too sick to truly enjoy!). It's a catch 22.
Sun, I'm excited for you to get your results. I hope that you get your girl. I understand wanting to know before the day so that you can resolve your feelings before letting the world know. That's why I can never keep it a surprise, because even with my first I had to handle my disappointment for a little while.
I go back and forth between being excited to find out the sex and not wanting to know. Once I hear that result and it's boy, I won't be able to pretend I'll have a girl someday. It's really hard to stay optimistic. This pregnancy truly just feels meant to be, with the timing and it happening so quickly after so many months TTC my first two. So part of me thinks that either this must be my girl or a really determined boy, and I just have to accept that. But I'm not looking forward to the comments whatever the sex, because people always assume they know the situation and if it's a girl I will hear "Well now you don't have to keep trying" as if that's the only reason I have babies.
Thank ladies. Feeling better emotionally today. Still sick, of course. Still bleeding. Waiting until my next spot in a few weeks before I ask for another u/s. But I just might for reassurance and I'll get a nub shot! ;)
So excited for you Sunbunny!! We'll be thinking of you!!
Congrats to all of you! I am new to this site as of today! I have two adorable boys and am going to try for a girl to complete our family! Any info on how to start - do I need to buy the diet plan etc would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks:)
I'm a bad one to ask cmiller, as I just kind of jumped in. I did buy a custom plan, but received the info 4 days after I ovulated and then got my positive pregnancy test 7 days later lol.
Hi cmiller1, you might get more answers in the general ttc section as not everyone looks in here!
I didn't get a custom plan, just read everything and decided which options would work for me. I really didn't expect to be in this due date thread so quick though!
I can't speak for everyone but I will tell you what worked for me with my last baby. Did the same thing (only a little less) with this baby.
I skipped breakfast, dtd a LOT and drank double strength Crystal Light starting a few days before O and through O. That's a really fast way to lower your ph I read.
Good luck!!
Okay - I got my news today
I can't believe it but ITS A GIRL!!!
I feel shocked, elated and like it has to be a mistake!!!
I asked the DR to call my DH but he rang me anyway. I told him to just let me know as I'd find out later today anyway. He kind of dragged it out - asked me what I wanted and what DH wanted and then said you're having a healthy baby girl. I swear I thought he must of made a mistake or that I dreamt it. I'M IN SHOCK. I really made myself this time around that I would be having another boy.
I haven't told many people yet - just DH, a close friend of mine who really understand gender disappointment and gender desire. I want to keep this amazing news to myself for a little longer and I want to work out how and who we actually tell. Teremity, IKWYM, I do dread peoples reactions of "finally, you got a girl", like my first 2 were fails or something. I'm so grateful for my 2 gorgeous boys and am glad that I had them first because if I had a PP who knows if we would of went on to have 3 - that is something I'll never know.
Anyway, enough about me. Fivebabies - I'm glad you're feeling a little better. I hope the time flies by for you and that you feel better and have the reassurance that everything is okay. I hope everybody else is doing well.
Love you all and thanks for all your good wishes today xxx
PS: who next will find out???
Oh wow. That's brill news sunbuny. Bet it's hard to believe isn't it? Do u mind posting a link to your sway? I want to have a nosy.lol
<a href="http://lmtm.lilypie.com/A7Nop3. png" /a>
Not a problem Elena - I'm going to try and find it and then add my results. I'll post the link here once I've done that. I hope the blood tests are 100%. DH thinks maybe we should wait to see the US before we get too excited (he is very excited though) - softy.
It is very hard to believe. I feel on top of the world.
I found it. We won't be finding out till the 20 week scan which seems a million miles away. I'm not as bothered about gender as I used to be. I know that I did what I could to try for a girl.if it's another boy I will still be the princess of the house.lol
<a href="http://lmtm.lilypie.com/A7Nop3. png" /a>
Elena, that is exactly the way I looked at it. I was more then prepared to hear boy today and I had already stated that I would be the family princess to my DH and to my boys (they are only 1 and 4 so didn't really understand). When I fell pregnant the most important thing to me that day was that we were actually pregnant - not what we were carrying. But I am glad I swayed (even if it were a boy) because I know I tried something different and it if was a boy then that just made him extra special.
OK.. Shouldn't of done it but I googled harmony / Genea accuracy... Now I'm having doubts.. Grrrrr.... I hope it's right. Somebody actually wrote that their gender was mistaken. Does anybody else here know its accuracy. Lol... I'm such a stress head [emoji15]

Congratulations Sunbury!! Step away from google :) I don't know what the gender accuracy is but I would say it is pretty high if they are confident enough to say girl.
Sun-congrats!!!!! I'm so very excited for you. Your sway is a lot like mine so I hope it's a sign of the pink storm in our group starting. Absolutely thrilled for you!!!

Oh, and from what I've read and talked to the rep, the accuracy is extremely high. The opposite happens when you have a tumor in your body that can carry a Y chromosome so, the test will say boy even though it's a girl. So, that is NOT the case for you! Enjoy this wonderful moment!!

I'm so happy for you Sunbuny! Please don't google! The only people who post mostly are the ones who CLAIM their results were wrong. If you notice a trend, once they post their results were wrong, they don't continue to post. I think it's bunk to drum up drama. Even the gal who did it on here NEVER posted before, nor after. Coincidence?! I don't think so! Drama drumming!!
You have a GIRL!!! For the love of anything good in this world, GO SHOPPING and ENJOY!!! Please?! So the rest of us can live vicariously through you until we find out!!

I get my US on 6/2. I'll be 13 weeks 5 days, so I think we will have a good idea if gender by this point. I'll also get BW drawn for MaterniT21 then too. The results should be in on or before my appointment on 6/10.
So excited!!!

Congrats Sun! What marvelous news. I am so happy for you! I think I would just run with those results, to be honest. Have you felt any different with this pregnancy than with the boys?
I will be having my blood drawn for Q-Natal on June 1 at 10w1d. I have no idea how long results will take since I've never even heard of that particular test.
DO NOT drink any more than 2-3 12-16 oz. servings of Crystal Light a day. That is the proven safe level of Crystal Light. It doesn't work anyway so using more doesn't gain you anything.
We are getting best results with one attempt and not DTD a lot.
Huge congrats Sunbuny!
Yah!!!!!! Sunbunny enjoy every minute!! Blood tests are super accurate way more so than a scan. But I hear you, it didn't totally compute until she was in my arms!! Xxxx
Sunbunny how SUPER exciting!!! You did it!!!
:running:
Attachment 25303
:princess: I bet it's accurate! :HH:
OMG ladies! I just got a call from my doctor's office, and I can do the BW for the MaterniT21 any time!! I'm going tomorrow to have it done!! I'll know what we are having within 7-10 days from tomorrow!!! Aaaaah!
On one hand I'm excited and on the other hand I'm nervous. I just hope it is a DD for DH, because I don't know if I could hide my excitement if it is another DS. See I'll be excited either way, because I'm not the one who has a preference- I just wanted another baby. I also feel like I'll be the one to end the pink storm going around, because someone has to! I just hope and pray for a healthy, hopefully baby girl, for DH. I don't think I could have done anything differently, I honestly stuck to the dietary exercise so well, for DH's sake.
Aaah [emoji51][emoji4]!!

XX that's great that you are going in sooner! I admire your commitment to gender swaying solely for your husband. I always wanted three babies, but in my dreams I had a mix of both sexes. Having two boys off the bat just put a lot more pressure on the third haha. I wish I had known more about swaying before I TTC my second, but then again I wouldn't trade my precious middle boy for anyone else. And I know when it comes down to it I won't regret a third boy, only that I won't ever have a daughter.
Huge congrats sunbunny!!! I'd be the same if I heard girl, doubting the test was correct lol. That's so exciting :)
Congratulations Sunbunny!
The tests are accurate, smth like 99 point smth, don't worry about it:)
Thank you so much everybody. To top it off today is my birthday... What an amazing present.
XX - that is so exciting! My fingers and toes are crossed for you and your family.
Teremity... I wouldn't trade my boys for anything either. They are so energetic and full of beans. They are adorable. People who don't appreciate boys just don't know what they're missing.

Not really much different in this pregnancy.. About 4 weeks of feeling sick, in getting insomnia... All very similar to my pregnancy with DS1. That's partly why I suspected another boy. The only difference is I am eating more fruit which is unusual for me.Quote:

Congrats Sunbunny!!!! And happy birthday!!! I had 2 boys and then a girl so I know that feeling. So happy for you. :)
XX- yay! You'll know so soon!!! Let the shopping begin ladies. :)
I was only sharing my experience on what worked for me. We shall see if it worked again. :)
I think I'm going to go in for an early private scan at the end of June.
