Your diet sounds so healthy. Mine is pretty good, but not that good!
We get the results of the tissue testing on Wednesday. I think we will find out what the sex was as well. I don't know if I want to know though?

Hope everything is ok. FX the placenta moves up and doesn't cause any problems.Quote:

Could they write it down and you could keep it in an envelope at home should you want to read and find out you can do some in your own private time? xxQuote:

Research has found that placental lakes are present in about two per cent of pregnancies and are more common in thicker placentas. There appears to be no association with placental abruption (bleeding from the placenta during pregnancy), high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia, premature labour, small babies or stillbirths.
Because it would seem placental lakes are so common and have no significance, most sonographers do not report them, or even mention them to women.
Why can't things ever be easy hey? As long as baby and you are ok, that's the main thing :)Quote:

POP- you lost 4.5 k? Oh Im so jealous ! im sitting here like Jabba from Star wars and just hate it!!!
Bec- you know I would ask the gender for sure.Even if the next baby would be a girl and this was a boy at least I would know we can make boys to lol. (but lest just hope the next is a sticky boy)
I'm so using the PreSeed next time. Check this out http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ed-gender.htmlQuote:

My DD1 was an oops, and DD2 1st attempt success so I was a bit bummed why it was taking me so long. Probably "boy life style" decreased my fertility :rofl:
Pop, I don't think it would hurt to use preseed--I got pregnant the first month I used it, after 2 months of BFNs with real eggwhites. I had a lot of EWCM too. BUT, as Bec said, maybe the less stuff you put in you body the better.
Cinss, has AF officially started? Maybe you are still in....?
Bec, I hope you get some answers from the tests.
TTC5, I hope everything is okay. How scary for you! This pregnancy has been just one worry after another for you... what a relief it will be once you have your little guy safely in your arms!
Z- did you asked the gender at the 20 week u/s or not?
I also used preseed for this bfp. But not a lot .it's not like we need to swim in it you know.
Hey ladies!
LBAM, welcome back! I know what you were feeling....I tried to put it out of my mind for a while but the baby fever just wouldn't go away, so now I am determined to have one someday, somehow. Glad you are back!
Hobb, LOL yea I didn't really need to think about that in the midst of conducting business. He said he was sorry and also that he was too grossed out by the "collection room" to get comfy and have any fun with porn. Said he just did his thing and bolted. Incidentally, the urologist sent him to the local fertility clinic, and they are doing the huge sperm workup. He said there were a lot of unhappy and weary couples there. UGH so don't want to have to do that now! When is your scan again? I am so excited for you and TTC5, you are close to u/s time!
Flava, you are always welcome here.....I am apparently forever on this site and will be here myself!
POP, I am so sorry, hun.....I am with you and the others on not caring about gender anymore (well, you guys know I don't for sure!)......swaying is great if you can get pregnant fairly soon, but after a handful of months, you start to wonder whether or not your swaying is affecting your ability to get pg at all. And you know, you can still have a boy! There is absolutely no guarantee that if you don't sway, you'll automatically get a girl again. I think you are doing well with diet, and I would try a month or two of just a multivitamin and a fish oil. That's pretty much all I take now. I do take a calcium/D3 pill also. I have been trying to cut out gluten also (wheat protein) and I don't eat many carbs anymore anyway, so I'm losing weight and actually feel really good. That book that Hobbs recommended is really great! Let's keep our chins up that we'll get that sweet healthy baby soon, eh?
And Cinss, same for you. We'll get there. I'm so sorry about your bfn and how long this is taking. You'll get there too. But I do agree with the other ladies, if you are late and if you have gotten late bfps before, then I'm not thinking you are out just yet. You guys will get pg soon, everyone here does sooner or later!
Soni, I hope everything is ok! You are SO early, they cannot see things so early sometimes. When I had the 8 week u/s, the tech said sometimes they can't see anything at that point, so I would think 5-6 weeks is in the gray area where an u/s may not pick up a fetal pole, etc, yet. But if the worst is happening, just know that you will go on and have one. Lots of mamas who had awful m/c are having their desired genders now, it's kind of a lucky streak time for that. Hope you are ok! xoxo
Bec, you have one stubborn AF! I hope you are doing ok.
TTC5, oh gosh, that is scary, but your doctors will surely keep good tabs on you. Try not to google too much, you will find horror stories that you don't need to read. OBs deal with placental issues all the time, so this is not their first rodeo, and even if you need an early c/section, it will be what is best for you and baby. Excited for your scan coming up! xoxo
Oh, I don't think you should drop the preseed, POP. It has a perfect ph. The only way I think you can do harm with it is if you are using so much while doing the pre-sex applicator thing that you give them an ocean instead of a little river to get up your cervix with, like Flava was saying. I don't even use it that way anymore, we just use it as lube.
I think preseed is great, PoP, and I woudn't drop it, I'd just maybe not use as much....PoP I also think the diet idea of trying to lose weight and be eat really healthy is a good boost to fertility and will still sway boy! In my honest opinion, it's not just fat in and out of itself that sways, but I'd say healthy unsaturaed mono fats sway boy. It's just my :twocents:
Bec, it's totally up to you of course, but if offered the chance to find out what gender the baby was, I would def. find out, for the sake of total closure, and a chance to have an identity attached to the baby. But like I said, you gotta do what's right for ya'll.
TTC5, I'm thinking about you and your baby and hope everything will go alright....
Oh yes, Bec, I meant to comment on the genetic testing......I think you should go with what works best for you and your personality as far as coping goes. I am the kind of person who would find out but then fixate on that and let it make me sad forever, so I know now that I am best off not knowing things like that.....I have to put my 13 year old dog to sleep soon and I want to be with her, but I know I'll see her lifeless face in my mind for the rest of my life and sort of hate that I have that image, but I'm gonna do it. I think it is just up to you. The envelope suggestion is not a bad one at all, though. Then you could find out someday if you really felt compelled to know.
I have used the preseed every attempt so far, maybe too much? How much did you ladies who got BFP's actually use? I may decrease the amount this attempt!
POP- we did not used the preseed applicator at all this time. DH just put some on his fingertip and that's it. I would guess it was like a half to max 1g in the applicator?
I was thinking if we put in to much it would just wash everything out?
It say on the preseed box to use 3g ! That is way to much .I remember before we used once 2g and i was just swimming in preseed.
Nope, I'll have a nervous breakdown if I hear another 'girl' confirmation. 2 times was just about 2 much lol!Quote:

Thats why i have been thinking about the TBM, i am just worried that it will take the the love out of the love making if you know what i mean.
Bec it is such a hard decision for you to find out the sex or not, i don't think i would, i always wonder what the sex would have been of my first pregnancy that i lost. I think if i knew the answer it would make me feel the loss more, and i would relive the pain. I can just picture my little bean as an angel instead.
Whose starting the MAy thread ;)
Keep the pre seed, I agree. You only need like 1-2 mls MAX :)Quote:

Thanks POP! Spoke to a friend online whose a midwife and she said the concern is that is can cause a thickened placenta and risk of PPH after delivery. I had PPH with last two so they are always on look out for that anyway.Quote:
