Do you think that every 3 days still gives me okay odds? I'm so scared it gave me two attempts in fertile window and that freaks me out.

I joined a gym before I found out I was pregnant . Do any of u exercise ?
I exercise atleast 3 days a week doing an hour of cardio and 15-20 of strength training with weights. As long as you were exercising before pregnancy you are fine to continue (unless your dr says otherwise.)Quote:

Lauren is right, whatever you did before you can keep doing now as long as it feels good.
Yes!! This is me too, I bet I don't consume more than 1200 cal a day which would explain why my weight is still down. I'm hardly ever hungry I only eat to keep the nausea at bay and I get full after only a little portion, not at all close to what I used to eat amount wise. It's just been so weird so while I did sway girl I'm just praying for a healthy little baby at this point! My calorie choices have been pretty poor, only what doesn't make my stomach turn so that has been cereal, pop tarts, muffins and smoothies. Any spices seem to make me sorry I ate anything at all. I got really sick last week after having a taco so that has curbed me from eating normal dinners with the family for awhile longer. :/Quote:

Can anyone explain the personality part of swaying? I just read that obsessive/anxious people tend to have boys. That is me to the T and I have two girls. Is it just bad luck? (Not that my girls are bad luck, they are phenomenal)

Have never once heard of this! I can be pretty high strung just in that I'm go go go and I like control but I am also capable of being laid back and I have one of each so maybe! Ha!Quote:

Of course it is always of the gender that you already have - people just assume that if you have 1 of one gender you will only have that gender. Of course I didn't tell anyone about this site...really no one's business if there is a reason for all of the wheatgrass I had. LOL! Anyone else dealing with others' opinions/guesses at the moment? Anyone else waiting for harmony tests?
I'm waiting to get the test next week, then I'll be waiting on results. Hopefully both our results come sooner than later.Quote:

Also, we are considering keeping it a secret from family/friends - just seems fun to make everyone wonder. It seems to bug a lot of people when we say we may not tell!! Of course I'll let you ladies know! :)
I thought of doing that too but A: getting old using nicknames B: I'd slip. I just know I would. I'd say he or she, him or her. I'd put money on slipping up lol.Quote:

I'm having Progenity done next Monday at 10.5 weeks and we're keeping it a secret from everyone!! After two girls I'm soooo praying for a boy.

I'm pretty sure we're keeping it a secret. Well actually I know we are only I'm sure I'll slip up at some point too. What really irks me is when I tell me we're keeping it a surprise they act like I'm doing them some injustice- like it really affects them . Lol. And I KNOW I'll have people trying to get me to slip up and that pisses me off in advance. Let us have some fun- this is our last one- sheesh!
Looks like we're having one of each. Twin A is aboy and Twin B is a girl.
Congrats bunny! That's exciting news!!

Bunny girl, how do you feel about that? Were you hoping for two girls?

I'm so mad. I found out yesterday my doctor's office filled out the form for Harmony incorrectly so they canceled the order and I have to go back for blood work again so they can re-submit it. To make it more frustrating my doctor knew this early last week and never contacted me until I left a message for her inquiring about my results yesterday. So another 2 weeks of waiting for me. I'm so sad and frustrated. I was waiting to share our news until we had these results so we could be sure all was well with the baby. Now I'm not sure I'll last another 2 weeks or that I won't show too much bc this bump is definitely expanding!! I know its not a really big deal but now I'm questioning my doctor's ability to be my primary care provider throughout this pregnancy. She has one of the biggest patient loads of one of our large healthcare system's here, my wait is at least 30 min. every time I see her and she always seems to get confused or write things incorrectly every time I have an appt. I'm thinking of switching to the nurse midwife in her office who has a much smaller patient load (and I wanted a midwife for this birth anyway). :P
Trust your instincts crd. Midwifery care is gold standard anyway. You don't need a dr unless something is abnormal. I'm sorry that she screwed up your test. How disappointing.

I'm sorry :( If it makes you feel better it looks like I won't be getting the harmony test. Just a basic first trimester screening :( So it looks like we have another 6+ weeks of waiting to find out :(Quote:

I *think* I'm going to find out and not tell anyone. We'll see if I can do so successfully without slipping or letting on I know! Ha! I think it fun to keep it a secret and if I didn't have so much boy clothing to unload I'd refrain from finding out too but I'm a planner and a purger. I don't like to keep anything we don't need and less is more to me! ;)
BunnyGirl, I hope you're feeling ok about the genders, I *think* you were hoping for two girls? How did DH and the rest of the kids feel? I think it will be so much fun to have twins. I knew a boy/girl set of twins in high school who were so close with each other. They had such a wonderful relationship. :)
I'm old (36!) Twointow so our insurance covers everything but $100 for ours because of my "advanced maternal age". I honestly didn't feel like it was necessary until I was given the statistics of birth defects that increase with age, then I got nervous. :/ We would welcome any baby regardless of any anomalies but I would like to know if something is terminal. I had a friend whose little boy had anencephaly, he lived 48 minutes after being born. Ever since her experience I truly take nothing for granted.
Yeah, I am 32. I lost our DD to a chromosomal abnormalities but DH and I's bloodwork came back normal so now they are saying I am high risk but not high enough risk to warrant the Harmony.Quote:

We were hoping for two girls to even things up in the house, but just one being a girl was all I needed. I'm not disappointed aside from being minorly bummed about not dressing them in matching outfits, but they can still coordinate. DH is glad one is a girl so I won't have a meltdown. I feel a bit relieved that I don't have to pick a second girl name though. DH and I don't agree at all and none of the compromise names seemed to fit. We have an easier time agreeing on boy names so I think we have them both named now. I'll probably look at boy names a bit more, but I like what's picked already.
I'm so sorry, Twointow, I think your history of miscarriages would qualify you as high enough risk to cover the tests. I dislike the stipulations that insurance companies get to place on lives when we know our bodies and medical history best.Quote:

My morning sickness came back this morning as I tried to work out. I'm 10 weeks! I've never had it this long and I had girls.

Yeah my insurance won't cover mine so my doctor had said the cost was $138 which I thought was good compared to the $1200 first trimester screening. Let's hope he is right! When I called harmony the guy who answered said that seemed right. Quinn... I am in the same boat! Maybe threw up once with my daughter and was nauseous but not this bad. It did last until week 17 with her though until symptoms were gone. Last night I had tried to cut back on Zofran and was puking at 11. Thought I was better but I guess I still need the medication a bit longer. I'm at 12.5 weeks.Quote:

It hasn't been a pretty 6 weeks, that's for sure. I can't wait to feel better soon. I hope you all start feeling better too. I've had two girls and one of them, I was sick with till 20 weeks, the other till less than 12. My little boy who was my third I can't remember but I think it was a little bit more than 12 but not as many as 20, so I am not sure that I can make any real inferences about gender based on how sick I get, as it has been so different with each one. We aren't finding out this time again, but I do find myself kinda wishing we were at times cos I have so many clothes for both boys and girls that I just want to sort out!

Yeah I don't know if there's a real correlation between ms and sex of the baby. It is very weird to me to feel this nauseous for so long. With my girls I really lucked out I guess. Still hoping it could mean boy! My dh sperm count was twice as high than it was with dd so hoping we were in overall better health.

Fingers crossed Quinn. I yearned so much for my boy. I don't love him any more than the girls, but I desperately wanted to raise a son. He is a delight. I would love another little boy this time, but it's done now and I am trying to let go. I will have my fingers crossed for everyone in here that they get their gender of choice.

Bunnygirl - love your pic because for some reason that's how I saw you in my mind - I think even with the pink hair!!! Nurse just called with Harmony test - my heart was beating sooo fast...!!! I didn't think the anticipation would be this much! She said that everything was fine with the tests but that she forgot to check the box for sex! LOL!!! So now another 48 hours or so....!!!
Oh no! So glad everything is ok!! Sucks you have more waiting to do though!!
Blue bear- Do you have a baby bump at all you wouldn't mind showing off. I don't know why but I love to look at baby bumps :)
I'll have my hubby take a pic when he gets home - I feel like I'm just fat from the HE diet at this point! LOL!
That's funny! My favorite color is pink so a lot of my clothing is pink. I don't work anymore so I decided to have fun with my hair while it's not considered freakish to have crayon colors.Quote:

Without the blood work and NT scan factored in the chances of having it are 1.9%. It was over 1 in 10,000 without the soft marker. I was offered an amnio, but declined at this gestation since the complication rates associated in di/di twins are much higher than in singletons. I'm contemplating doing it after I pass viability just to have a definite yes/no, but I feel like chances are tiny she has it. My doctor didn't feel it was anything likely or that we should be worried over. I get ultrasounds every two weeks to monitor growth and placenta from here on out so we'll be able to see if it resolves or not or if there are any other markers. I just don't like the idea of leaving the possibility out there without looking further. I wish this were an easier decision!
