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?
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.
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

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/202...38660cb635.jpg
This is an abdominal ultrasound, heart rate measured as 142.

That’s so wonderful g.pooja812! Yay very happy for you!
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.
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
I know right, struggle is real! We had a Halloween party yesterday and I could barely move .. everything was making me exchausted! I am glad you are going to have your NIPT really soon and I hope you get your desired gender! Girls are real treasure[emoji7].. my elder one will be 8 in feb and she is caring and sensitive towards me as she really needs a sibling. She prays daily for a healthy baby! My husband wants to be team green this time however I might not have that much patience as I have been waiting for this happiness since long! I wish we all get out healthy rainbow [emoji64]

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:
Turns out I will be waiting longer than a week. My first appointment isn't until the 17th. Which based off my LMP ( may be a little off due to longer cycles) I will be 10 ish weeks. Guess I will just have to rely on my nausea for it to feel real [emoji28]

I think I’m miscarrying again. I started bleeding tonight and I’m waiting to be checked out now. :(
Oh no Bunnygirl :( I’m praying for you and baby!!!
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.
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.
Oh hopefully it’s resolved Bunnygirl! Keep us posted xx
I see my Obstetrician for a check up and another clinic scan in 3 days then will get my NIPT 3 days after that. Can’t believe it’s nearly time when I can know who’s growing inside! 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.

I’m now having light red bleeding with small clots. I have an appointment for a Rhogam shot and blood work this afternoon. I’m no longer optimistic since it’s turned red and heavier. :(
Oh Bunnygirl :sad: I hope you can get some answers soon. I wish the bleeding would clear and everything just be okay. Thinking of you!!
