Welcome to the newest ladies! Congrats on your pregnancies!
I found the baby's heartbeat today :) It was only for about 15 seconds, but it was very clear and definitely baby... The machine read at 176. It was soooo comforting to hear that sound!!
How is everyone else today? Any weekend plans?
My SIL gets into town tonight so we'll be entertaining her until Monday. DH wants to tell her the news so that should be fun. I'm a little sarcastic because DH complained to her about how I was pushing him for a third, so not sure what her reaction will be.
Heard the baby's heartbeat today ♡ it was at 143. Most amazing sound in the world. Still doing the testing to make sure my hcg is doubling. My mom told me she had spotting with my brother and sister, so I'm thinking maybe I just take after her? Anyway that's all I got for now.
XX any word on baby's gender yet?! I'm dying to know.
Seabee, I had spotting with my first 2 pregnancies and I went on to have 2 healthy babies. Wishing you all the best.
I too can't wait XX! Fx for a healthy baby and your DG.

I'm feeling really worried at the moment since I have hardly any symptoms compared to my boys. This reminds me more of my blighted ovum. I don't note if I'm just being paranoid. I want to get some more tests as the last ones I used were ICs and not as dark as I would like but I don't know if it's because they are just crappy tests.
Purple I had some ICs that never got very dark while others had obvious progression, so that's a possibility. I hope that something happens (more symptoms, etc) to ease your mind soon.
How far are you purple? I'm on my phone so don't see the tickers.. Sorry

I'm 6 weeks tomorrow so it's still early but I'm sure I felt more sick with my boys.
Thanks temerity, I feel better knowing your ICs didn't get dark.
I have a scan in a week so hopefully I will relax then (assuming all is ok).
Purple, I didn't feel sick at all this time around till 6 weeks. And then I was only sick for 3 weeks... And for the record my experience with IC is that they are crap. They had me doubting my positive tests until the Dr confirmed it.

Purple- I can understand that you are worried. Early pregnancy is hard and it's hard not to! I know several people that ICs didn't work for them. Maybe go and buy a pack of FRERs to ease your mind until your scan.
Hang in there honey! I'm hoping you'll feel icky soon [emoji6]!

Xx, I saw that you posted and got so excited... I feel like I'm waiting for my results all over again

Purple.. Can you buy the clear blue tests that tells you how many weeks you are? That could ease your mind a bit. Tbh though, I think it's so natural to feel anxious... I have another scan coming up on Monday and I can't wait to see the baby again just to ease my mind.

Purple, when I was concerned I went and bought the digital tests that say the weeks. That eased my mind big time!
Purple-hope you get your reassurance soon
See-glad to hear you had a great ultrasound.
AFM, I'm having a rough day emotionally. We got to have an ultrasound today and thankfully everything is fine. I was told by a verifi rep that I could have my blood drawn on Monday. Well, the office staff is clueless about it, telling me that it's not completely accurate, etc. if my dreams of ever having a daughter are gone, I want to know sooner rather then later. We leave for disney in 2 weeks and this will be the 1st trip realizing I may never have a princess to dress up. So, I wanted to know before I go. So I can address my feelings before hand. I'm going to hate going with a little bit of hope that I still have a chance. Oh, and I ran into a friend while waiting for my appointment so now she knows I'm pregnant and we weren't planning to announce until 13 weeks or verifi results, whichever comes first. Augh. Sorry for the rambling ladies. I just feel like crying all day
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
XX, i also thought you are posting the results:)
Smarston, totally understand how you are feeling. I was crying for the last two day, thinking that I'm having another one, that my sway didn't work, why did i agree for that etc., etc. Then I went shopping...Feel perfect today,lol:) Maybe cry it out, let it out. It is much harder to hold it all inside.
Couple of days ago I had a meeting for my youngest DD's summer camp teacher, she is also due in December with a baby boy. I wanted to bite her. Then she asks if I'm hoping for a boy:hair: Of course I am, but why your asking me that!!!(i didn't tell her that).
I would have kept my pregnancy a secret, but mu tummy sticks out already, I can;t hide it.
Sc-that's exactly how I'm feeling. I feel like I'm going to be a joke when we tell people I'm pregnant with #4, let alone with DS4. I will absolutely love and adore him. I just want to be able to enjoy the pregnancy. So, if it's a boy, I want to know so I can start bonding with him. Now, I'm contemplating not announcing on social media, etc to try to stop the comments. Just tell close family and move on. But, running into my friend makes it more difficult. She's more nosy then supportive so she's not someone I can confide in during these emotions. Also, I weaned from my Wellbutrin when I got my BFP. And I'm having trouble determining if my feelings are normal or if I need meds again. Again, sorry for the vent

Oh ladies, I just want to give you all a big hug! Why do people not stop and think before they speak? I feel like I am a minority, because I always think before speaking! Ugh!
Smarston- shame on your office staff saying that test is not accurate! That's bull!
SC- I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's ridiculous to think that someone with one gender wouldn't want the opposite when pregnant! I'm sure I'm the minority who wants just all boys, but to assume anything is preposterous! Humpf!
AFM- I'm focusing on my NT scan on Tuesday. I've accepted the fact that I won't get my MaterniT21 results before then. I'll definitely post US pics Tuesday afternoon!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
XX-do you think your office is waiting for you to come in on Tuesday to give you your results? Just a thought, are they there and holding them
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
When the nurse called me this morning to remind me of my appointment on Tuesday, I asked her about them. She said that none were faxed in this morning, and they call right away when they get them. So, onto next week! I'm just excited to get to see the baby again!! I'll be 13 weeks 5 days so a great time for nub shots!!Quote:

You know what? I'm actually surprised with the lack of comments I have received... It's been really nice. When we told DHs family (only one girl so far out of 8) most of them were ecstatic but I made it clear to my eldest nephew ( who wanted it to be a boy) that we do love our boys so much but that we're also happy to have another different experience. I got more comments when I told people I was pregnant but I made it clear ( even though it was hard) that I was expecting a boy and that we would be more then happy with that outcome. If people think you're happy then they might be less inclined to say anything...

Thanks again for the reassurance from everyone :) I think this week will be a tough week in the wait for the scan. I'm thinking about getting a digital test or FRER test today. I'm not sure how I will cope if I don't get the result I want though!
I guess technically I do have some symptoms as my boobs are sore but I just expected to feel more sick and have some heartburn too. It's silly as I should enjoy not feeling crappy but I would prefer to have more signs things are ok!
This is also the furthest along I have ever been where I have not told anyone. Only DH knows and one friend who is also pregnant but 2 weeks ahead (I couldn't not tell her since we have links to each others FF charts). I think we will surprise a lot of people when we tell them as I think most people assume we were done.
Well I tested with a digital test and it has given me 2-3. I was really hoping for a 3+ to put my mind at rest :( I have googled and read that lots of women don't get a 3+ when they expect to so it helps a little knowing that but I still can't help but worry :(
Oh Purple! Hang in there sweetie! I'm sure everything is just fine! Some women, like me, produce a ton of HCG (I had 5 times the normal amount this time!!) and some produce a normal amount. I think yours is just fine! Maybe you ovulated or implanted later than you thought making your levels right where they are supposed to be.Quote:

I'm. Still. Waiting.
I'll call today, if I don't hear from the nurse this morning. I may call the lab first to see if they have been sent.
I'm getting anxious. I had a dream last night that this was another boy but healthy. I was relieved, but DH was mad at me because he thought I was happy for another boy.
I just want to know so I can move on...and try to be supportive of DH. Sigh

Ugh- FX for a call today!
I'm getting my blood drawn this morning, so let my anxious wait begin.
XX-omg, please let them call today!!
Tem-good luck. What test are you getting?
I would really like to have it drawn (10w today) but I don't have any risk factors. I don't know if I should call one of the companies and have them send the kit to my doctor, and deal with the billing thru the company? Feeling a little lost, I'm being seen by two different doctors and I can't get it?! Frustrated!

I would call Smarston. I know with the MaterniT21 test, without insurance it is $200. Not too bad, IMO. You can call them, and they will send the kit to your doctor.
I'll update when I know anything. I just want to know something! I hope the baby is healthy...

XX I just had a dream last night that the ultrasound tech told me the baby was looking more boy than girl, but it was too early to tell. I was so sad in my dream, and have been a Debby downer all morning. As awful as that sounds, I feel guilty for it. I hope it's the opposite for us! Can't wait to hear what you're having!
I just found out that we are having a healthy baby BOY [emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]!! I'm so relieved, I must say. I told DH and he was so happy [emoji4]! He said he was stressed thinking about having to care for a newborn and having to learn to care for a girl. He said he wants to be done though- four just seems too much! I'm so excited!!! I simply love our boy name we picked out [emoji4]!!!

Yay, xx!!! So happy for you! :)
DH is already texting me more name ideas! He said he is so happy! What a relief!

Congratulations XX! A healthy baby is the best news! Your 3 boys are going to be so amazing together
It's actually supposed to be that you dream about the opposite gender that you are having!! :) I dreamed that the doc said I was having a boy when I was pregnant with my DD!Quote:

Congratulations XX!
Thank you! I'm so happy to have three of a kind [emoji4]! I was dreading finding out, because I was sad at not having another boy. I'm so glad that I am a boy mom to THREE sweet, funny, and smart little boys [emoji8][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]!!Quote:
