3boys - welcome and we all understand what you are going through! We are here for support and all hope you hear pink :)
business woman - I posted about the cheese and I'm so glad it helped you. When I go to the store I buy all different cheese sticks and baybel flavors.. my fridge looks like a cheese shop, lol .
So I thought I would share this with you guys.. back in my October 2WW thread I mentioned I was going to be flying on my ovulation day. Someone mentioned if you fly on ovulation day (I think it was tarasue?) you are likely to end up with twins because of the air pressure splitting the egg? I laughed it off because I couldn't find anything else online about it, but sure enough... so crazy! I didn't take clomid because I was paranoid about the small risk of twins and I have no idea what else could have caused them. We have no twins in our family and this news is just very shocking to us. I'm so worried it's twin boys. I will love them dearly but my DS is SO DIFFICULT. He's extremely high energy and destructive and I worry about having three very high energy boys under the age of 3 to deal with by myself as a SAHM. I actually would prefer b/g twins to g/g twins. My lifelong dream has been to have 2 boys and one girl and I would be over the moon if this is b/g twins. I know statistically speaking b/g twins is the most likely scenario, but I just can't believe I'd be that lucky!
At this point I'm just really really worried one of the babies won't make it. Although I never wanted twins, now that I've seen their 2 heartbeats I love them both and pray that they will both make it to term. I've seen so much heartbreak around twins and it's all very scary. Thanks for listening ladies! No one IRL knows we are having twins (or are even pregnant) and DH is tired of me talking about my pregnancy fears 24/7.
ETA: I looked back on the October 2WW and it was Tigerlily that told me flying on ovulation day causes identical twins! So scared it's identical twins now! OMG!
3 boys I wasnt around here to know you from before, but I too should find out test results for gender this week. I will keep you in my prayers can you do the same for me? 💗💗💗I am a complete emotional wreck.
Flying on ovulation can cause twins true blue? Interesting theory. One in which I hope isn't true as I also flew on ovulation and had sex that night! 🙉
I think twins these days, with such modern care available, aren't as high risk as they once were. I totally understand your worries tho! I would be the same way. One fetus is enough worry, two is double that.
Thnx alot blue for ur advice !
Omg flying could cause twins !
I will put that in consedration lol
Maybe in the future 😍
Thank you Boysway, hope you feel better asap, nausea stinks its like a tease because you dont know if or when you will get sick.
Thank you JunieQuote:

My NP told me yesterday that twins are a high risk pregnancy so that does mean more ultrasounds so maybe we will both find out sooner than 20weeks.
Good luck and also happy to have someone to share the journey with!
Good luck on your results hope you hear healthy and pinkQuote:

I am 5 weeks today, and my bump is getting bigger by the hour, it's crazy. At this rate my clothes won't fit me by next week! But what's really worrying me is that I've had some spotting today :( I always spot early in pregnancy so trying to remain calm. Not much I can do about it anyway right? I'll try to book an U/S appointment for next week. Take care mammas!!
Wow, congrats Miss and blue on your twins....exciting!!! I have also read that flying can cause twin as the air pressure cause egg to split.
Kasey I see girl nub lots in pics and video but also couple of times in video it looks boy. Hope you get your desired gender.
AFM my nausea it's eased lots during the day but still get it of an evening. Just 8 days until I get to see our baby again and hopefully get a peek between those legs :D we are having a party on boxing day for close family to celebrate Christmas together so I have ordered some personalised scratch cards to reveal babies gender. I ordered a boy set and girl set and hopefully will be able to give them out as a little suprise at party :)
Kasey it has to do with the blur from the motion. Like this one for example. It looks like your baby has 2 spines. So which one matches the nub captured is the trick. because it goes by angle. never trust a fork they are deceiving! Attachment 22613
The second pic makes me go boy as well. And on the second video you see the tops of the legs when that good nub shot was caught, she tipped the angle too much so it looks flat when you are looking more down than straight. I could over analyze all day long and still be wrong LOL good thing you want to stay on team green!
I will try to take another pic for you. I hear what you are saying, but the girl nub shots, are very clear girl nub shots on my TV. I just don't have any print pictures of nub shots so all that I have are sort of blurred. I do agree with the video at 14 seconds throwing me off. I actually like that you are over analyzing! It keeps things interesting :D So far I have two boy guesses on here, and all the rest girl on here and In-gender. I will post on that nub board and see what they say. I love nub guessing. To me it is all in fun. And it makes me laugh how good I am at guessing for everyone else, but when it comes to my own I just can't do it lolQuote:

I've got it down to minimal times per day until this past week where my axietyiver it has spiked in anticipation of the results.Quote:

I was so upset by so many of the comments for the past pregnancies that I was at my limit :( . I did not even tell my best friend, whom I rarely see in person. She made a comment last time that I "wasn't that girly" ( which is absolutely false...I'm just not materialistic or a shopping addict...I guess that's her definition). So she said that was why I did not have any girls yet. It devastated me that she let that come from her mouth. I could see on her face that she instantly regretted the comment, though. I was shocked as I felt it was a passive aggressive type comment, which is so uncharacteristic of her. Maybe she did not know what to say...I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she is a good person. I guess that was why it hurt so much. Well...let's think positive, though. I have been putting a lot of positive thoughts and energy into my entire sway and thought process this past year and I've had lots of good feelings this time.
I'll be praying and hoping for us BOtH to hear Pink and healthy baby news this week!
I have not told a soul either. I am just not ready to hear all the crappy comments about how "how nice a girl would be" or "what if it's another boy". I just can't handle it right now.
I admire your positivity! I have been pretty negative lately...I didn't imagine this waiting game to be so hard on me. I am going to ask my midwife to write the results down and seal it in a envelope so I can have my reaction at home in private. I can in no way imagine how sad I will be if it's a boy. It's going to be devastating and I originally thought I could handle it but I think all the pregnancy symptoms have made me change my mind! I am tired and nauseous and I just ate 10 Lindt Christmas chocolates because I am such an emotional mess!!! I was a happy pregnant person with my sons, not this crazy lady.
Anyway thanks:) I am cheering for you!
YI'm right there with you! It s very hard to feel positive when pelople have been so awful in the past and it's not like you can just brush it off...its cuts deep:(Quote:

I keep trying not to be negative by comparing my pregnancy symptoms, but I always have lost weight in the beginning of all of my boy pregnancies and this one as well. I have not been ale to handle much food and always feel hungry. It's finally easing up, but I can't handle sugar-another reason the old wives' tales would say boy�� the only difference I've had is zero heartburn. I've had it with all of my previous pregnancies from day one, almost literally and really bad. My middle son was bald but it was still awful. The Dr. Said it actually does mean more hair more times than not, but I wish it had something to do with gender....I won't bank on it, though. I feel like it's just a trick��.
I am hoping and praying for us both. I fall asleep every night praying for. A Healthy baby (girl please!) for you now, too. Hang in there. I know many of us could talk about this for hours and days and never feel like our feelings are completely understood, even with others in our same situation at times. It's such a hard thing. I feel constantly like I need to justify my emotions.
Still no news today...maybe tomorrow we'll both hear some good news!
Well people are finding out slowly as their christmas cards arrive and its already slowly going down hill.... Well we know you want a girl BUT.... I really dont think you should be getting an early gender ultrasound its just not good.... You already have your hands full with one.... you better not be doing this or that.... UUUGHHHHHHHH MAKE IT STOP!
Seriously...Oh my goodness I would go through the roof! BIG HUGs to you, Nahri! People just are so much more insensitive about the subject they should be MOST sensitive about! I really think it's none of their business to say what they think you should be doing with your uterus:-PQuote:

What an ordeal!
Just had my panorama test yesterday and it was horrible! They needed 7 vials of blood. I have what phlebotomists have called "rolley" veins: it looks like a good vein and then they go to stick me and it rolls around! It often takes 2-3 sticks to get a good vein and sometimes my veins just "dry up" mid draw! The first guy who tried (who looked like he was 18) promptly blew out 2 veins. Third time he was able to fill up 2 and a half vials before the flow just stopped. well the half vial had to be thrown out and we had to get a whole new kit to have the right amount and kind if vials. He stuck me a few more times, couldn't get it, called in an older gal, she tried some veins in my lower arm and wrist, another 1/2 vial and so we had to get a third panorama kit. At one point she asked if I wanted to come back the next day and let my veins heal but I said no, I just wanted to get it over with. All in all it took 90 minutes, 4 different kits, 2 different phlebotomists and 8 sticks to my arms and wrists
If for some reason this test comes back inconclusive I'm going to cry! Have you heard of anyone else having this issue?
Mine dont roll but they are insane to find carmella. They end up doing more damage to me because they cant find the darned thing and they guess! Then I start clotting mid draw like you did. I can usually start it back up if they let me move my arm a bit and I usually try that mid draw just so it doesn't. Thats when they go after my hands and can usually get it. One girl just really couldnt keep it going so she actually drew it out with a syringe and O M F G I've never had so much pain in my life. I feel your pain.
3boysblessed- Most of it comes from my mother on a daily basis. I am a former smoker and I quit for the attempts as did hubby and stayed quit but apparently i am secretly smoking "because she just knows these things" The only words out of her mouth when she was told in October was Oh my god... and not the good happy excited omg more of a what the hell did you do. She then passes these sentiments onto others and they all gang up. My 86 year old grandmother cornered me today about the early ultrasound and of course I hear mom in the background "tell her you dont think she should go to the early ultrasound" and then grandma starts in on how it cant be a good thing etc etc. So I know where most of the fire is being fueled from but holy hell say congrats and then move on continue to talk about me behind my back while I responsibly choose to have kids when so many cousins etc did it the irresponsible way and are on their 5th or 6th. I haven't heard much from hubbys family yet. Waiting for that shoe to drop. Ive thought about being spiteful and making her wait when we know the gender on Sunday..
Im really bad at giving blood, they find it hard to find my veins and guess alot and then when they do find out they collapse :( I hate giving blood, I come out looking like a pin cushion. After many failed attempts they ask can they go into my foot my answer is "he'll no"!!!
My veins have gotten better for finding recently but as im so anxious at have blood drawn from previous attempts I go all queasy. Only took 2 attempts last time but OMG you wanted to see the bruise I was left with, right before my mummies Xmas do I couldn't even cover it with make up!
What a terrible ordeal Carmella!! At least it is over now but that sounds really really awful!!

I'm so sorry Carmella - I absolutely hate blood draws so I would have been livid. I have a huge bruise from mine on Monday, but at least they only had to poke me once this time. Hope you get good results shortly so it's all worth it!
Nahri - I'm sorry you don't have your family's support. My mom hasn't been very excited about this pregnancy either, and keeps making mean comments like "are you sure you want another kid?" every time my 2 year old acts out. I'm hoping when we reveal it's twins on Christmas that might generate some excitement but in reality she will probably just ask how we are going to handle that many children.
What a horrible experience! Sounds like you had some inexperienced professionals, unfortunately. How many weeks are you? I know with my MaterniT21 test they said that sometimes, not often, when the blood is drawn too early in gestation the fetal blood isn't identifiable and the sample would need to be re-drawn. I have this fear as mine was drawn at 9 weeks instead of 10 because of a family funeral. The company claims that fetal blood is stable at 8 weeks but rarely some pregnancies just are not "normal" and the blood isn't detectable between 8-10 weeks.Quote:

I dont get why family have to be the ones with the negative comments for me it hurts much worse than a stranger. I freaked out a few weeks ago for some negative comments from my family and put my foot down and told them if they have negative comments than they can start paying me to say them lol!!
Good luck hope it gets better try not to let anyone get to you, i know it can be hard. Xxx
Quick question that I'm hoping one of you ladies might know the answer to.. going to call my midwife's office when they open to ask, but here's the question: I am having my blood drawn this afternoon for the Harmony genetic test. I went to the doctor yesterday for a bad cold/infection and they put me on antibiotics... does anyone know if amoxicillin in my system will skew the results in any way or if it's ok to be on that while having the test performed?
I don't think any medication would interfere with this type of blood work carlyandlee.
I wouldn't think so either. Thanks for your input :)Quote:

There was no congratulations and no smile :(
missxo - I know you are earlier than I am, but I have a few questions about your twin pregnancy so far. I'm 10w3d and so far this pg has been so much easier than my DS. I've had far less nausea, been much less tired, and much less hungry. I've gained less weight and my stomach is still pretty flat (compared to 10w with my son). How does this pg compare to your singleton pregnancies? I saw the babies on Monday but I'm so worried they aren't OK because this doesnt' feel like a twin pregnancy. Also I didn't get my BFP until 12 dpo and at 2 weeks the dates estimator on the CB tests only said 1-2 weeks pregnant (I would think with twins it would have said 2-3 or 3+?). Dh is telling me I'm being crazy and paranoid but it's so hard not to worry when my singleton pregnancy was so much worse.
Ugee, Nahri, Kasey, others...what the hell is wrong with people?? Where have the world's manners gone? How about "Congratulations!" as a response when you tell someone you are prego. Of course they will all have their own opinion but that isn't what you told them. Ugh, people are so damn rude in our modern society. How on the earth is having #3 acting like the Duggars? They have double digits and almost 20, not 2!!!Quote:

I am almost 40, I have a 15 year old, we can't really afford another child, we have 2 kids with special needs, etc. I have one brother and a crop of extended family members that have been as rude as can be about anyone that has more than 2 kids...(my parents had 7 and they are still being criticized). Another brother thinks anyone over 35 having kids is "SO OLD!". My mom will be livid if I don't tell her soon, but I just don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear what anyone has to say....because chances are, it won't be anything close to "Congratulations!" That would be just too easy and POLITE.
It's so hard not to take offence but I am trying to keep positive and I'm not doing this for anyone else so they can trot on. My mum actually took it rather well so I am pleased about that. Maybe your mum will too Adia? The friend with the bad reaction so to speak has no children and doesn't want them so I just shrugged her reply as her own feelings and wants. My husband is thrilled until our two boys have a bad moment then he just sighs lol!Quote:

I told a friend at school I was expecting, one day my MIL picked kids up and was speaking to my friend. My friend said to her "are you excited about another grandchild?" My MIL shrugged her shoulders and said "each to their own I guess"
When my friend told me I was fuming and so was hubby and we confronted her, she then started to be over nice about baby which I just new was her acting. She has always thought we should be just like them and have 2 kids. Makes me angry, what has it got to do with anyone else? As long as you, your partner and kids are happy thats all that matters.
