It still doesn't mean you are out !
Can you hold off testing for 48 hours?
Then see what the colour is like ?
Welcome PrayingforPrincess! Congrats on your BFP. What an exciting time.
Robin, don’t spend too much money. Use cheapies you if you have to, but trust your body too. Each day you go without spotting or signs of AF should be your “positive” that things are still going in the right direction. I like Sparkles suggestion of waiting 48 hours but I know that is hard to do.
Amelia- that is awesome that you had your testing today. I haven’t heard of the Counsyl Test. Is that the same as all the other NIPT tests that tell you chromosome issues and the gender based off the DNA in the mother’s blood?
I am getting nervous to know that ladies will start to find out genders soon if they are doing early testing. I think doc will send me for mine last week of November. So I might know by early December. It both excites me and terrifies me as I have seen so many ladies have their hearts broken by finding out they are not getting their desired gender. I don’t think I am at all prepared for that heart break as I keep telling myself it is for sure a girl and I won’t even consider that it could be a boy. I have no reason to think that it is a girl, but it is the only hope I have on these long days of feeling sick non stop or throwing up. I just want every single lady to get the gender they want and I hurt for those that don’t.
I had my ultrasound yesterday and saw Bub wriggling around! Yay!! :) Nice strong heartbeat 166bpm. What a relief!! It's measuring one day ahead so bumping me up to June 13, but I went 40 +6 last time so I wouldn't be surprised if it's born on my husbands birthday lol. Now just waiting to start feeling little flutters and for this horrible ms to subside!! We told the boys last night that they'll have another sibling next year and they all said they wanted a sister �� I'm so hoping that their (our) wish finally comes true ��
Yes, the Counsyl Informed Pregnancy Screen is the same kind of test as the Panorama, Harmony, Maternit21, and other cell-free/NIPT tests.
GirlieC, I am also so worried to find out gender, which I will start December/end of November. I tell myself I will be allright if it's another boy. In fact some days I fancy about having four handsome sons to take care of me when I get old... this could be cool.
I know this will be my last baby so I have promised myself to see this as a huge gift sent from heaven no matter gender. Well, this time is hard. I think I can relax more as soon as I know it's a he or a she.
Mummy4boys, congrats with your healthy and fast growing bean. How exiting that you told the family. Did you also tell friends? It must be nice to be able to share this great gift with your loved ones. I think I will first tell them when I am 11 weeks. I go and hide my growing stomac and only my mother has noticed if I have put on weight (she notices everything). She thought I was way to underweight before so she is happy. I gained 7 kilos in 5 weeks! Only DH and two good friends know I am preggo.
When will you find out gender?

Dreamsister : I know how you feel about the gender.
I am trying to tell myself it doesn't matter, and that anything is a blessing, which of course it is...but I still think I will be disappointed.
Mummyof4boys : Congratulations on being able to tell people now, you've passed a massive milestone, must be such a relief.
Dreamsister : I am gaining now everyday (surely not normal), so I am hiding my little bloat with a big baggy jumper. We're lucky that it's winter hahahah. Summer might be harder to get away with.
Oh and I'm 9 weeks today, so baby is the size of a southern pecan...how cute :D
Sound like lots of us will be finding out around the same time early December! I'm eager to find out, but sort of dreading it too. I think I'll be okay either way, I hope I'm reading myself right. I'm afraid I'll be more upset than I think if my sway doesn't work. I want to know though so I can be prepared for the family we're going to have.

I will be 10wks tomorrow, it's crazy that if it's a boy testosterone started developing this past week!
I am with you ladies, I want to find out but it causes me so much anxiety! I really did give my sway my all, I am nervous about a few factors- nursing, kiddos close in age, hubbies habits... Although, if it's another baby girl, she is obviously meant for our family and we given it 4 attempts {well 2 real sways}!
I have developed a slight facial rash, it's itchy... and never happened before... ugh.
Oooo that's promising !Quote:

She said, it's a bit early, but babies develop at different rates.
Turns out 70% of Mums who get rashes and hives are having boys, so you could be in for a winner !
My 4 year old hugged me and rubbed my belly lol it was very cute! And my 2 year old points to my belly and says baby, baby, baby :) My mum has known since the start and I told the MIL a couple weeks ago because she caught me having a vomit while on the phone :/ My little brother knows too but no other friends or relatives know yet. I wanted to wait til second trimester at least but my belly now sticks out further than my boobs so it's pretty obvious haha! Oh and my husband had to tell his boss because he needed to take time off work to mind the littlies while I had the ultrasound..I'm just hoping he or his family doesn't blurt it out on Facebook and ruin our announcement..Quote:
