Hoping4agirl, I am sorry :(
Aidansmum - I wouldn't worry about the intelligender... I've heard it be wrong sooooooo many times!!! There's still plenty of hope for you!
Dreams - I'm sorry the bloodwork showed boy :( just try to focus on the fact that you have a healthy bubba! I know that's easier said than done! *hugs*
Hoping4agirl - I'm sorry for your loss hun :(
I am so sorry hoping4agirl.
Hoping- I'm so sorry..hugs to you.
Dreams- I'm sorry the blood work said boy, but congrats on a healthy little one.
Adiensmum- I wouldn't put much stock into intelligender. I think mine was a pink/ purple but more purple. The box said purple is boy..and we know that was wrong.. are you getting any blood work done or waiting for u/s?
I've been trying so hard to think blue.. But at night all I do is dream it's a girl and dream about finding out and dream about announcing it. I dream about it every night and it's exhausting... I wish I could stop :(
Sorry you heard boy, Aidansmum and Dreams529 :SS:
Dreams- it's not fair to be mad at yourself for being sad. You feel what you feel. Of course you're sad!
So sorry hoping :( hugs

I'm sorry to hear that, Hoping4agirl. Take good care :sadflwr:
No one who does intelligender gets a girl result. Are you still eating the way you ate when you were swaying for a girl? If you drink a ton of cranberry juice before the test , like magic it turns orange! I bought 5 tests!! Yes, I am on crack, but I finally got smart with the test. Nothing about that test is real & everyone gets boy result. Just because u get a girl means that maybe that is how you eat and it really just goes back to how we all swayed and what we ate. 4 of my tests were all boy & then when i drank cranberry juice I then was amazed it was orange!!
I am so sorry dreams it stinks but in the end all that matters is the baby is healthy, and I got a quick lesson that swaying at the end of the day doesn't matter at all & THE ONLY thing that matters is the health of your newborn baby.
Thank you everyone. I really didn't think hearing boy would hit me this hard. I am so very grateful I heard healthy boy instead of a girl with possible concerns. Don't know how I would of dealt with that. I know the sting will wear off eventually its not like I didn't know this was possible. I guess I just really thought I had such a good chance to hear pink I started to believe this may be a girl.
My 2cents if anyone has to get maternit21 maybe don't find out gender. I'm thinking this might not have been as bad if I had more time with baby before I found out. 11 weeks for me might just be to early to know I mean I haven't even felt my LO move yet. All I've been is sick & now let down. I've thought about trying again but that's not fair to anyone. My fingers are crossed for all those waiting to hear!
This is so me! I told myself from the beginning, I'm just going to assume its a boy, going to look at boy stuff, boy names, etc.! Well....all I think is girl! I hope this is my body's way of telling me it's a girl, but think it's just my deep desire for one. Symptoms make me nervous. When pregnant with DS2, though people said, it's got to be a girl, I always said I'm not so sure but I think deep down I assumed it was a girl and it never dawned on me I'd get two boys. Obviously I love ds2 more than anything and would never take him back, but the past couple years I've mourned I'd never get a girl because we thought we were done. I never got over it. Now this time I KNOW without a doubt we are done, don't know what I'll do if we don't get a girl and my 4 yr old doesn't get his baby sister he's been talking about for the past year. :(Quote:

Thankns snips. I am going for the NT next week, depending on the result I'll get an amnio, otherwise I am waiting for a gender scan at about 18 weeks as the blood work cost a fortune. I am looking forward to the NT just to see a nub and skull and try to guess. I watched my little boys ultrasound again recently and now, after seeing so many U/S pictures I think I can see he was a boy, and I couldn't have back then, so maybe the nub will show me something more concrete than the likes of intelligender, but it was a dark, dark boy result, very disappointing.Quote:

Maybe it's a sign or just wishful dreaming. It was a good dream at least and because I asked to dream of it it meant something to me, but of course, can't trust a dream either. :(Quote:

I get my u/s tomorrow so I will be sure to put up a nub pic as long as baby cooperates! I'm just preparing myself to hear boy!! I'll only be 14+1 so my sister (the tech) won't even give me a guess! Boo! :(
Been looking in to it & evidently false y's are not at all uncommon. Don't know at all for sure why, some say that DNA from previous sons can be in your system. I also wonder if my thyroid meds which are made from pig thyroids could effect the results(blood thinners made from pigs def can). I'm probably grasping at straws but who know. Wound up talking to the OB coordinator at dr's office again & she said that she would not count on the maternit21 results in regards to gender that really till you see baby you can not know for sure.
So basically I'm totally confused! Going to continue to believe baby is a boy & work on names & the thought of a 4th son. Actually all of my kids would prefer a boy & my youngest would have a playmate oh & I have plenty of clothes for him. Plus my boys really are all the sweetest & overall I think I probably am a better boy mom. Little by little each day I know I will get happier with another DS. Who knows maybe just maybe there still is a small chance that baby is a girl & in a few weeks I will have a giant surprise! Or maybe by the time I see this LO I will be so head over heels in love with him I will celebrate when the tech tells me its a boy!
Good luck tomorrow menlc611!
Cant wait to see the nub pic! x Good luck!Quote:

I will be happy either way but I miss all the things that come with having a *little* girl (mine is not so little anymore :sad: ) I had a 12 week scan and this is the best pic I have. I am not even sure if there is a nub in this pic. Hopefully some of you who are well versed at reading these things can take a guess based on this photo. Thanks in advance! :)

dreams, it can't be easy waiting and I would also be looking for any small chance the test might be wrong. I also heard about previous bub boy leaving Y's in mum's for a while. That is very true and I can see how it could find Y's even though one is carrying a girl.
I am glad you are able to see the bright side of having another boy though, I think it's easier to just accept it's a boy and be pleasantly surprised later if it's not than the opposite. Enjoy your little one, boy or girl, it's a little piece of you and how to love them once they're in there? :)
Welcome to the club! I am in no way versed in nubs but looking at it I would go with girl guess. Cute baby, regardless.Quote:

Can't see much on that one, but I guess I see a flat nub on the first one :)
I read lots of bad reviews since and I'm holding on to my dream still, even though I am prepared to hear boy as well. I called my boys from my first marriage, they are living in Brazil where the rest of my family is, one is 24 and the other 22, they make me me so proud, and then there's my 3 year old little Aidan who really is the light of my life, they make it easier to accept having another boy, cause they are so amazing and there is nothing I would change about them. Bring it on! :)Quote:

Savygrl, I'd guess girl too- just a guess- I haven't had practice with nub pictures.
My 12 week scan is tomorrow. I really want to see his/her movements and heartbeat and know that there's just one and that it is growing and nestled in the right place.... Other than gaining weight and having worse acne not a lot feels different in my body yet. I haven't really felt pregnant with a growing being. It's all very theoretical right now, and I hope it will start feeling more real tomorrow! I'm not sure if I want to know the gender yet, so that maybe I can start bonding without interference from knowing the gender.
Thanks for the guess :) I am not sure if that is a nub in the first photo because if you line it up with the other it looks like the bright white spot in the second photo. I think maybe that part of the body didn't show up because she was more trying to get a good profile shot. I'm not sure about the skull theory either. I have been staring at these for about 4 weeks trying to figure them out. I'm clueless :)
I'm so sorry hoping4agirl. I hope you're holding up ok, and really hope you get your little sticky pink bean soon... xQuote:

Thanks Bunnywabbit! I'm Due June 29th
Thanks bunny but I doubt it. I will be going to the Dr on Monday to get things started to be flown to London for my 12 week scan. I am living in Africa and since the conditions here are not great I will be flown there to get things checked out and have my scan. I am 36 so I am considered advance maternal age so not sure what all they are going to do.Quote:

I am nearly 12 weeks now Grease and I gotta say the only days I haven't felt nausea since week 7 was yesterday and the day before, so maybe, fingers crossed, I'm done with it. Hope yours passes soon. It's not fun. :(Quote:

My due date is July 27th and I like many of you are hoping and praying for a little girl as I have an almost 4 year old son and a 1 year old son.
Looking forward to the next 6 months with everyone!!
Welcome to the club jmm0616!
Gafan, wish we could spend the 9 months in bed hey? Maybe there's something to the good old fashioned confinement that ladies of the court used to be subject to! lol
Alright ladies. Feeling as fat as a cow! :o Here is my bump, at 12 weeks!

Welcome jmm0616 & congrats! We share a due date!
Aidansmum super cute bump!
I hear you ladies about spending the next few months in bed! Finally starting to not be as sick & now I have a head cold. Luckily I had nothing important to do today because all I managed was a shower than back in pajamas!
