Belliboi- I think you're right because I had the ovarian cyst (on my right , too!), which dr said is what starts the pregnancy hormones just by being there (progesterone I think)...correct me if I'm wrong. I had never known that about the little ovarian cysts in early pregnancy, though. But after things get going with the placenta, the cyst fades away. Anyway, I find it all quite interesting!
Great news 3boys! Even though my blood tests said XX I don't think I'll believe it til
I'm holding her! But seeing girl bits at 20w will help! I am already nervous though!
I still can't quite believe it and I'm 31 weeks!! Guess it feels to good to be true XxQuote:

This is different from follicular cysts which is where ovulation started but something went wrong and instead of the egg release you get a cyst. Which is why if you have PCOS you have a harder time getting pregnant because you will still see the LH surge but no eggy just a mean ol cyst. You can see the two types of luteum that just close normally over time, those are what they see on the ultrasound when they check the ovaries.
This is what happens when you sit around reading medical books your entire first pregnancy LOL I am such a geek!!!

Wow! You're very knowledgeable. That's cool Nahri.
Im so serious about the medical books LOL. I practically walked into my OB's office and told her what was up LOL. she only did fundal measurements to check that the one I had done was correct for liability reasons. She told me on several ocassions "stop stealing my thunder go buy regular pregnancy books" LOL
WOnderful news Miss & 3boys !
So happy for u !!
Just had my gender scan at 16w 4d and baby was being very awkward and kept crossing it's legs + not showing us anything, the pics I have are from underneath/side view of the bits, the tech said she saw nothing to suggest boy and that what she thought she could see was swollen girl bits with the White lines on, after what seemed like forever she said Girl!
But it didn't exactly fill me with confidence + too scared to get excited, my 20w scan is now 4 weeks away. What do you make of the pics?
