I went back to their website and looked and I couldn't find anything about not getting picture, so now I'm wondering if I read that on another site - I was researching u/s places like crazy today and must have visited about 10 different sites. When I call to make an appointment, I'll confirm that I can get a photo. This is what the site says:Quote:

Well, it seems to me if they didn't offer pictures, they would say it there! I would go for it if they give you pictures. :)Quote:

Mocha ~ if you get a picture then i would go for it! As they do say if not 100% sure no charge (even tho this may not apply at 16 weeks) but alot of people get confirmed at this stage my DS was confirmed in 15th week, and of course we will be able to have a look :D
Pinkin ~ I totally understand how you feel about finding out the gender. I have been thinking about the same. I found out with all my boys with 1st 2 at 20 week scan but as i swayed alittle with DS3 we went for private one in 15th week as i couldnt wait. I was alittle upset hearing boy but soon got used to it and would not be without him now. But if i hear boy again i know both me and DH will be upset.
DH wants to find out so I think we may find out in secret and not tell friends/family as if it is a boy i dont want all the comments i know i will get.
Hope you lovely ladies are all well x
Purple, you were right about there being a twin. Did you suspect it because of your blood levels or something else? So sorry they did not keep growing.
HappyLea, I am not surprised you could not be without DS3 now, he is just adorable.
I can't keep up with all the posts! Hopefully I will get some free time on the weekend to read and reply to more. Take care everyone.
I am not able to upload the picture because of the size, even after resizing. Nothing much in the picture just a "lil raspberry". I asked them to keep the second sack out of the shot because I didn't want to have DH asking about it. I don't see the point in bringing it up to him.
Well I need to pack and get ready for our weekend away for DS1's 4th birthday.
I hope you have a nice weekend, pp :HH:
Grats on one healthy bean, PP! Have fun this weekend, and sorry about twin, but amazing that you had sensed the twins!
Most of the time, my DH is pretty sweet and he is understanding about my wanting a girl. Sometimes, I guess it just grates on him, and he'll tell me what he thinks. He's really black and white kind of fellow too, Pinkin. Things are either right or wrong, there is not much middle ground with him.
I am actually a little scared and excited at the idea of a daughter. Maybe my husband is rubbing off on me too much! I think having a daughter would be so exciting and new, but the idea kind of scares me a little, because I'm so used to boys now, I think it would almost seem strange to have hot pink and baby pink stuff in our house! Obviously, I am still hoping for a girl, because I know how much I'd enjoy it (once I got over the fear of something new), and it would make my mom so happy, since she only has one granddaughter.
And also, while i do have a potential escape plan for #4, I really, really don't want to have to use it. I really think 3 kids is all I want. Maybe a few years down the road, a 4th would be OK, but being pregnant again so soon after DS2 is harder than I thought it would be.
sorry to hear you lost one little bean, I hope your other little bean is a healthy baby! and have a lovely weekend xxQuote:

got a cold, am feeling dreadful, hope everyone is fine and well xx
Hello! So I first went to the wrong due date area (Nov of 2011) and was very confused since I just got my BFP and am due 11/18/12...couldn't figure out how people already knew they were due 11/30/12 and then realized I was looking in the wrong area.
I didn't try this month...it was a happy accident but it was a pretty weak sway. We had an oops 5 days before O which I covered myself with vinegar douche and acijel just in case through O, tracked O after that, and then we DTD in the shower on O day with a perfect pull out.
DH is starting to be okay with the news...he was NOT wanting another one just yet.
I am TTC a girl but if its a boy thats okay, too! I have two boys.
Welcome and congrats, onehealthybaby!
bumblebee, sorry you are sick! I just got over a cold, and it sucked. :(
Auroara, having girls is more fun than I thought it would be ( I always wanted boys), but I am terrified of the teen years! I went to the school to drop something off in my 7 year old's classroom, and she wasn't as excited to see me as she used to be when I stopped by her class... I think the whole "my mom is embarrassing" thing is starting. :sigh: I didn't think that started yet?? I asked her later if she was embarrassed that I came by her class, and she claimed she wasn't. Maybe it was just an off moment. But it was a preview of what's to come! Boys don't go through that, do they?
Anyway, you will love having a girl.
pinkin, my m/s started around 5 weeks and hasn't let up yet. But it isn't horrible; it was much worse my previous 2 pregnancies. Hopefully it will go away soon. I hope yours isn't too bad.
PP, why don't you want your DH to know about the twin?
We have the same due date!! My sway wasn't as strong as many do either, but at least we gave it a shot. I did a lot of things differently to when I had my boys. Like you, I have already wrapped my head around the idea that it could well be a boy, and feel ok with that. Are you in USA? You write dates differently to me, so I can tell you aren't in Australia! Glad you found the right thread in the end!Quote:

Miscarried Mar 4, 2012...I've been out of it all week. Just can't believe this happened twice in a row. Wanted to let you ladies know, but I've got to focus on something else now. We're not going to actively try anymore just for the heartache. Just let things happen. I'm starting some progesterone cream from the pharmacy in case it needed to be in my system before getting my bfp (my dr. always puts me on progesterone after a bfp for the first trimester) I'm thinking since I didn't have any losses before both dd's that the progesterone in the mini-pill I had taken before them allowed it to be in my system enough before we ttc. Fell pregnant first month off mini-pill with both of them and no problems. I didn't take mini-pill after this last one, and I'm having problems just like before DS. Hoping taking the progesterone with these losses allowed it to build up in my system enough for next time. I don't know for sure, just a theory.Quote:

I also lost the last one too and had spotting with it. Im so worried right now.
Yahmama-im so sorry for you loss! I know it's so sad.Big hugs to you!
Flava - I'm praying this bean sticks! :pray:
Flava, I hope it settles really soon. What a worry to be hanging over you. I had some early bleeding with DS1 and had an early ultrasound to check it wasn't an ectopic. Is there anything you can have done, like bloods or an U/S? I realise we are both really early into our pregnancies, so not sure what can be done. Will be thinking of you.
Yahmama, I really hope the plan to not plan and just let things happen works for you. It is just awful what you have gone through.
Thanks but I can't do nothing at all .Im only 12dpo today so I hope it's just because AF would do but it will stay away!
Really what can a doc or any one do this early? Nothing. It happened to me before and I know they say they can't help it's wait and see.
Anyway first I have to take care of the insurance no doc will see me before.(gotta love the usa) So to my pregnancy care to kick in first I need a proof of pregnancy and send it to them. BUT they do a urine test here for that not a blood test.they do blood test on the fist appt. only. SO I can't even go in early to get it because if it don't show up on the crap test strip they use or if it's to light they say it's a negative and send me home! (happened before)
I have to wait till like 6 weeks to make sure my lovely pee test show positive to get the proof of pregnancy.
So lucky me huh?
Flava, I agree, our insurance system sucks! I hope the spotting stops and your bean is safe. :hugs:
Yahmama - I'm so sorry for your loss :broken:
Yamaha ~ so sorry for your loss :hugs:
Flava ~ hope the bleeding has stopped, hope you have a healthy sticky bean in there.
Sorry ladies not been on for a couple of day, Grandad had a heart attack yesterday so lots going on. As for me have been having pains kinda like period is coming and also dull aching pain in lower right back. Everytime i pee and wipe i am always checking expecting to see blood. I dont know why i am so paranoid with this pregnancy and think something is going to go wrong :( I feel like we are very lucky to have 3 gorgeous healthy boys and are we tempting fate with 4th....iykwim!!
Off to mum's to do some decorating tomorrow and then appt with Dr at 3.30pm to confirm pregnancy and get refered to midwife team.
Hope all you lovely ladies and beans are well x
Hello ladies, I just joined and our 2nd baby is due 4th Sept. I look forward to sharing in your journeys and sharing mine too.
We already have a beautiful DS and I'm hoping to give him a sweet little sister but will be happy with a brother as well.
I hope you are all well, my 1st trimester horrors have ended and I am finally getting my 2nd trimester energy back YAAY!!!
Welcome littlebean. What sort of sway did you do? Congrats on reaching the 2nd trimester milestone!
Flava and Hobber, yes your medical system sure sounds crappy to me. It seems to just put you all under a vast amount of pressure and stress. How are you going now Flava?
HappyLea, how's your grandad going? Was it a small heart attack or has he ended up with surgery? Sorry, my medical brain can't help but always be curious about anyone who is sick! I hope your tummy and back settle down soon. Make sure you drinbk plenty of water. It is easier to get a bladder infection when pg and then it can travel to your kidney if not picked up. See...I'm hopeless!! I'l butt out now!
Welcome to all the newbies!!!
Thank you Peonyprincess and TTC5 :)
Peonyprincess I tried to sway girl using Shettles, which was successful for my boy sway when TTC with DS. I am hoping I didn't BD too early to O though as I think I ovulated earlier than I was meant to so fingers crossed!
So I told DH on the weekend. Took him out to a nice restaurant (OMG there was so much salty food, I actually found it too much!) and ordered a glass of wine. Then when he said 'cheers' I said that unfortunately he would have to drink my wine and put the +pg test in front of him on the table. He was lost for words, looked completely baffled and ended up saying "I don't understand"! The poor guy is still in shock - we were both totally convinced it wouldn't have happened in Feb.
We are going on holiday next weekend and my MIL will be there. He thinks we should tell her because we all normally drink a fair bit of wine and it will be pretty obvious I am not drinking. I have decided I am happy to do that but obviously tell her it is still very early and I took some medication that is not recommended during pregnancy, so we want it kept very quiet, etc. The only thing making me sad is that I am very close to my mum and would love to tell her first of course. But she is travelling overseas and the only way I can contact her is via email. I just don't want to say it on an email. But if I wait until she gets back to Australia, that is not until the 1st of May, when I will be 12 weeks.
Peony Princess, glad you were able to tell your DH is a nice, romantic way! What meds did you take that weren't safe in pregnancy? I think telling your mom over email in this circumstance would be totally acceptable. She will be happy to hear the news!!
Welcome littlebean! I have a "successful shettles" baby girl--I put it in quotes because I actually wanted a boy, was NOT swaying, but she was an oops baby with a 4 day cut off (we were trying to prevent, but I O'ed early, and surprise!). So I learned later that she was perfect Shettles timing!
I took some anti-parasitic medication containing mebendazole, and a herbal anti-parasitic. My boys had intestinal worms (unfortunately it is common living in the tropics) and you are supposed to treat the whole family. We thought the Feb attempt would not have worked, so silly me did not hesitate in taking them. Anyway, it is only an extremely small chance they will cause an issue, and there is nothing I can do about it now except not take any more! I go to the the doctor tomorrow, so will see what they say about it also. AS said taking them so early should not have harmed bub.
I am sure you are right about emailing my mum. She just heard that a friend she was going to visit on their travels has died from the cancer they were battling, so I am sure she could do with some happy news. I'll ask if she can skype me one day and if that's not possible then I'll email her before our trip.
Happy-thanks Im so happy to see creamy cm today and high temps lol. I stop temping now and have one more test left I will take it sometimes next week just to see if it's darker. I also can't stop checking the paper....
How is your grandpa???
