Congratulations ABC!!! I remember talking to you awhile back after both of us experiencing the same losses! I’m so excited for you!! I just found out a couple days ago that I’m pregnant too! Have no idea for sure when I ovulated, but I’m early, between 4-6 weeks. I took a digital on Thursday that came back “pregnant”, so I’m cautiously expecting right now! And I wanted to give you hope, just in case! We have four boys and so far we’ve survived! They’re pretty rad! Although like you, we’d love to add a girl into the mix! So happy for you!! Any symptoms? I haven’t read through all the pages, since I just came here! So, you’ve probably already said if you have!Quote:

Nausea is mild but it's growing more consistent, and I've thrown up a few times. And I feel like I'm getting fat very quickly. I know it's bloat but I feel HUGE!! How about you - any symptoms yet?Quote:

Hannah - Yup, both boys and DH are driving me crazy :) :) DH took our older one camping for two nights so at least I'm down to one right now!
As our group is growing (yay!), would you ladies like me to edit the first page on this thread to list everyone's due dates and how they swayed (and confirmed genders when known)? I've seen other due date boards do this but let me know what you think. It would be fun to track when everyone's due (especially later on) since it's hard to keep up with that!
It's 4 pm now and I swear I could go to sleep right now for the rest of the night. I went to bed at 8 last night :( This fatigue thing is killer!!
Nothing really just yet. Although if I sit in the afternoon, I’m done!! So, some fatigue is starting. I almost hope I feel sick and have some more symptoms. I didn’t with my losses, so if would be nice to have something different! Haven’t called my doctor yet, but I will on Monday. How many weeks are you and what’s your due date?Quote:

I got my "pregnant" on my CB yesterday evening; I just really wanted the satisfaction of seeing those words. But I am only 12 DPO and already the fatigue and nausea have set it. I didn't have any syptoms this early with my son, other than being clumsy and forgetful [emoji23]

Lmboschma - Yea that's what having had losses does to most of us I think, makes us want more symptoms for reassurance!!!
Eighme that's great!! Something about seeing the word "pregnant" does make it seem more official!
Ladies I’m sad to report that I have added “seafood” to my list of food aversions. This one hurts. I am a Southern raised, Midwest misplaced woman and seafood was one of my comforts. I literally stared at a plate of boiled shrimp and could NOT will myself to eat it. So frustrating. Anyone else getting really strong food aversions?

I feel like I'm having an aversion to everything. I can't think of one thing I'm craving or even feel like. The idea of meat, fish, pasta, pizza, eggs all seem so off putting. But when it's in front of me I can eat it. It doesn't make me sick and isn't as bad as I thought it would be once I start eating. Don't know if that makes sense at all.Sent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkQuote:

Think we got up to 12 threads in my ddg [emoji23][emoji23]
Has anyone tried the pencil gender test? It was a big hit in my ddg for a bit of fun! If anyone wants to try it here's a tutorial [emoji12]

Hannah I can't eat meat :( My guess is part of that is b/c I was mostly vegetarian for over a year on LE and I'm just not used to meat - but I can't stomach it right now especially chicken. I had chicken aversions with my boys early on too. Basically I'm eating a lot of dairy to get protein. Most of the time only a few things even sound good but I'm getting a lot more hungry so there seems to be more that I can stomach now!
Pbn - YES my family has done that pencil test for generations and it's been eerily accurate for the women on my mom's side!! My mom tried it again on me after we found out it was twins and it said boy boy girl but seemed to then stop, which freaked me out (because where is the 4th baby?) so I don't want to believe it! She was moving her arm a lot though and I know when we did it on me before I ever had kids it would always do boy girl boy so maybe it's not right for me! Was it right for you and those in your DDG?
OK I'll watch the thread - right now we're at 42 pages so getting there :)
If you ladies send me your DD's I'll add them on the first page!
Thank you so much! I swayed girl and am due January 31
I already have food aversions and nausea. Eating has also been diffcult because when I was on the LE diet I only ate twice a day and rarely snacked. So trying to get back into the habit of eating has been difficult.
Also, I don't know my exact due date but based on ovulation it should be March 4th and I swayed girl
Thanks ABC for staying on top of this.
Due January 30, swayed girl.

Great idea ABC! My due date is approximately February 5 and I didn’t get a chance to sway but hoping for a girl!
Due Jan 3 and swayed boy ;)
That was me with my DD! I ordered calamari and could not even look at it. I was so sad!Quote:

And @sinkan, re: vivid dreams. I wish I could say that was a boy thing, but I had them with DD and even when not pregnant! I had yet ANOTHER dream of a girl (this time dreamed of a nuchal scan and was REALLY angry in the dream after that I was still not getting what I want). I know the OWT is always the opposite, but I had dreams of a girl with DD! It's making my much desired sleep less appealing, all these dreams!
TP, I have had several dreams where this baby is a boy and just cried and cried. You are not alone in your anxiety. And I understand completely. We are team green for the sole reason that I don’t want to face the depression possibility if it is another little boy. Pregnancy is already so tough with an older body, 4 kids demanding my attention & normal pregnancy stuff. I really hate to think of the low. But the chance is still 50/50. I want to think positive and enjoy this pregnancy.

This seems to be the same theory as the ring testQuote:

Then it showed girl for my second pregnancy which was not. So now I'm a sceptic.

Sorry I haven't contributed much since first saying hi. Have been struggling with juggling 2 toddlers and horrible nausea and vomiting. So much worse than with DS1 &DS2 but DS2 was much worse than DS1 so makes me think another boy. Haven't had food aversions (don't want red meat though) but craving custard and cheese like crazy! I can understand the low patience with kids, I seem to be frustrated at my 2 yr old all the time at the moment and just don't have the patience to deal with his tantrums like I used to.
Had my NT scan today. Was trying to go team green so booked it early - showing 11w6 days. Promised myself I would not look at the nub area but couldn't help myself occasionally, not clear at this gestation anyway I know. Not sure how I will cope with anatomy scan, will just need to keep my eyes closed! Hope everybody coping ok.
Lightly swayed girl (was a surprise baby) due 9 th Jan. Attachment 39789
Lovely scan pic kelbear! A bit early for me to guess but congratulations on a gorgeous Bub!
I can't see anything from that scan, Kelbear. But beautiful baby and congrats and pink dust!
Just left the doctors office. There is a baby with a weak heart beat. It’s measuring six weeks one day. I have a subchorionic hemorrhage which is likely causing the bleeding. I have to go on bed rest. I have to go in for another scan on Monday to ascertain fetal viability. I am so confused.
Oh kikurose! Praying for your little miracle to make it out of this!Quote:

Praying for a miracle for you! Already a bit better news than last time. I know what it's like to go through a pregnancy confused constantly getting "bad but hopeful " news. It's hard but there is hope. My little boy is a healthy (apart from minor issues that just need to be checked on) 18 month old. I hope you get a miracle too.Sent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkQuote:

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it. I'm getting betas done as well. As you all know I was charting and my first positive test was May 24 with a FRER. I just don't understand how the baby is so behind?!? Last week it measured 5 weeks and today it measured exactly a week later at 6 weeks. I still believe something is wrong, but I'm trying to be hopeful as well. I have a follow-up ultrasound next Monday and hoping for no bleeding and a strong heart beat, but preparing for the opposite.
Kiku, I’m hoping that you continue to see a growing bub. I have heard crazier stories that ended in a healthy, happy little one in the end. In fact, our 2nd son was conceived and we still have NO idea how. I was tracking and charting and all of the ttc things. And he just showed up one day. It was crazy. I also had a SCH with him. It was scary in the beginning but with rest, we ended up with a growing baby & healthy placenta. Amazingly. Praying that for you too!

Did the doctor have any other explanations for you?
Will be praying that this all turns out OK and that this little baby is a miracle in the process!! But again I'm so sorry you're having to go through this period of limbo and not knowing what's going on - it's the absolute worst!! Vent here any time you need to!!!
Thank you so much ABC. So much limbo, is right. Just waiting and waiting... AF started 5/1. I should be 8 weeks today. I thought I ovulated on 5/13. My first positive test was on 5/24 so 11 dpo. My OB didn't really have any explanations. I think miscarriage is still a HUGE possibility at this point, but she was very kind and encouraging. I know miracles can happen, but I feel like there's something wrong and something doesn't add up! BUT I also know I don't know everything... Not finding much encouraging about a weak heartbeat. She didn't even measure it. But I was shocked a baby was there!Quote:

And we seem to keep having our scans at the same time (today was nuchal!). I legitimately said, "Don't let me see nub -- I'll know and don't want to know!" She insisted she didn't even check herself and only gave me shots without it, but these two have me pretty devastated. I showed them to some people who think these aren't nubs so IDK. During the scan, as like last time, I thought I briefly saw both a pointy up and long nub at differing times when I peeked. Clearly my good guessing only applies to everybod else's scans! Measured 12w5d.

On top of everything else, we had some issues with the nasal bone :/ The tech insists she saw it but it's not "bright enough" and they pushed the NIPT, so I guess I'll be doing it afterall. Probably won't request sex though I feel gutted already.
