Thinking of you Hitme xx
Sorry to hear your sway didn't work Junie but I'm so happy that you feel happy with bringing your new little man into your family. You are so right, the bond between mother and son is just as strong as mother and daughter and there is so much more to being a parent than buying girly clothes! Glad you are feeling ok.
Hitme I echo what the others have said. You know where we are if you need some support. Rest up and look after yourself.
I think I have acid reflux too. Had it since my Ms started at about 5+5 weeks. I have started vomiting more recently. It's really getting me down. I feel so run down and to make it worse I'm getting a cold too. I feel I may have to start taking some time off work until I feel better as I can't function properly. Is Ms meant to ease up when the placenta takes over?
2 of my friends are pregnant at the moment and there 12 week scans are suggestive of girls. They both want girls. I will be happy for them but I know if my suspicions are true and I get a boy it will make it much harder. I just can't wait to know one way or the other. Need some answers!
Oh Hitme look after yourself. Is there anyone at all you can talk to so you are not so isolated. We have a dedicated crisis pregnancy talkline here. Is there anything like that where you are. Thinking of you
Looks like I'm here too, although barely. Due date of May 30th.
Hi Bee! WELCOME :)
ThreeLittleStars- Do you have 4 girls? How wonderful! Welcome to the group- were you swaying boy or girl?
Hitme- I'm sorry about the news but I would first try not to worry (a million times easier said then done!). Many tests give false positives and oftentimes turn out to be nothing. I hope that is the case here! We're all here for you- big hugs!
I do, Junie :). Swayed boy, although perhaps not the most hard core sway. Gained some weight (my first pregnancy not starting off underweight), multivitamin, vit d, fish oil, tried to eat often and good amounts of meat, few attempts in fertile window. Overall, a few things were different to when I conceived my girls so we shall see... Can't really imagine hearing boy after four girls.
So glad I had the blood test done, I don't think I even got a nub picture (I never know what I'm looking at besides heads/legs)- I would have been going crazy till 16 weeks!

Welcome Bee and 3LittleStars!! :)
Hitme - I'm thinking of you. Please know you're not alone here and if/when you're ready to talk we'll be here. Big hugs - take care of yourself.
Junie - love the u/s!! I don't think I'll get one between 8 weeks and 20, so I'm jealous of all of the between ones. Loving that little boy!! ������
I think I'm starting to get on/off nausea. And my nose is SO STUFFY!! Ugh. My symptoms seem to be stronger in the am so in the pm I'm all worrying. Two more weeks until first u/s!
Cute picture Junie!
Junie FAB scan picture !!
Welcome Bee & ThreeLittleStars :)
ThreeLittleStars I can't imagine hearing boy either :giggle:
Hitme we are all here for you so please don't feel isolated x
Hitme -hope everything turns out alright I will be thinking of you
Thank you everyone. I'm literary crying from the overwhelming amount of support. I'm trying to get into my midwife today. I'm trying to not stress and not panic but I'm a mess. Hopefully I'll have some answers soon but probably not soon enough.

Hitme- hope you are able to talk to someone. Thinking positive thoughts for you and babe.
Hitme praying for you and your babe! Hugs!
Thank you all for the welcome! We decided to try on a whim...a one shot wonder, haha. After the issues I've had with low progesterone and LPD, I was very surprised to see a BFP, so we didn't even end up swaying. My diet has been less than stellar which may lean girl (after very nutrient dense diet with all three boys) but aside from that, I'm not sure. We're team green unless we find two, but I'm going to try to get a nub shot in a couple of months anyway.
hitme, sending prayers and good thoughts and support to you, mama <3. I hope you will have answers very soon.
Welcome, ThreeLittleStars :) Glad to have someone else due at the end of the month! I don't think I will hear "girl" after three boys, either.
Junie, what a gorgeous little guy!
Bee hun you can have a girl. Dont lose hope.
Hitme- I am hoping and praying that everything turns out ok. Early pregnancy is so damn tough! I'll be checking back often.
Huge hugs sweetie [emoji8]!!

Oh Hitme, I'm sorry your going through a tough time right now.... Huge hugs & prayers to you!
Welcome Three stars & Bee!
How would you all handle this. You are all so supportive - I hope I'm not making any mistakes being forthcoming with this. I really don't want judgement.
I've been with my husband for 8 years. Before that I was with my ex for nearly 15 years. Totally monogamous relationship. Yesterday my midwife calls telling me I screened positive for chlamydia via a urine sample. I've done nothing but pace the halls, toss and turn and Google the shit out of this bc HOW THE HELL DID IT GET IT????? I have zero symptoms. Zero. I went in for a retest - as someone mentioned false positives happen. So I went and had urine and swab redone and now I wait. I asked if it was possible that him or I had it before we met and carried it into our marriage and she said it is possible. I called my family doctor then. To find out if I've ever been tested before (to see if us routine in pregnancy) and he said no, only if we ask for it. So could I have had this for years and years and neither done of us had any symptoms?
He's out of the country and so I have not approached him. I've bawled my eyes out at the possibility of an affair. He's not the "type"... But what else can I think?
My midwife said if we're in a trusting and honest relationship with good dialogue this shouldn't be a big deal. She also said false positive is highly unlikely, and that it's very likely one of us had it forever. But it is a big deal. I'm mortified. An absolute mess. I can't stop crying and thinking about this.
My doctor also said its possible that one of us had it but his tone was that it was very unlikely...

Hitme - Definitely no judgement here at all. I can't imagine how upset and torn you are - I can imagine that is devastating to you.
If it were possible, do you think your husband could have had it for years and not known it before finally passing it on to you? I know for example, my DH has only been STD tested ONCE in his life, and that was only because he had a UTI, and that was back in high school. So to me, it's much more likely that he's had it forever with no symptoms and without symptoms, why would he be swabbed and checked for it? And I think you're right - if neither of you has been checked for it, it seems very possible to me you could have had it for years before realizing it.
I hope if nothing else you're able to talk to your DH and he gets swabbed as well. I know that doesn't ease your fears as I'm sure there will be something in the back of your mind, but to me, it does seem possible that you could have had it for years without symptoms. I mean hell, you didn't even have symptoms now, right? It was just a routine screening since you're pregnant.
So sorry you are going through this hitme. I would first wait for the second results and if its the same. I have also read that most people who have chlamydia don't have any symptoms and that you could have it for years and not know. Especially if you have never been tested which is your case. Speak to your husband when you are ready, I wouldn't assume that cheating is 100% the cause and try to stay calm which is easier said then done ..I hope it all works out [emoji1]
So sorry hun. U r going thru this. I can imagine. I would hve been mad as well. But plz b easy on urself n dont cry. U r strong hun
Never any judgement here! Like everyone else said, you know your husband best.... If you've never been tested or your husband, it's totally possible that one of you got it from a previous relationship..... Take some time & talk to your hubby.... Still praying for you..:hugs:
If your mind is thinking the worst I would talk to your husband as soon as possible. You don't want to be upset like this during your pregnancy.

Hitme- no judgement at all here. I can offer hope/encouragement from a pregnancy stand point. Chlamydia during pregnancy is a treatable thing. It only becomes dangerous if it goes untreated, and you've already started that process by being tested. Once you have gone through a course of antibiotics(which are safe for your baby)- it is gone, like strep throat or any other infection. As for whether you could have had it for awhile--- it is entirely possible. Chlamydia is a silent std for many people and without symptoms- it isn't tested for as a routine thing. Like someone else mentioned--- you have no symptoms right now. It's definitely a possibility that neither of you has had symptoms, or that the symptoms were overlooked since they last about 1 week and then are completely silent until treated or tested for.
Although I have never gone through this while pregnant- my husband tested positive for syphilis when we were preparing to TTC our first. He had never been tested before in his life, and didn't know how long he had been positive. If we hadn't been using protection, it is entirely possible he could have passed it to me, and then I wouldn't have known until I was tested with a pregnancy, since I had been clean at my last test before meeting him. It was a very scary time for us, because, like you, I had my doubts as to if he had been faithful. My midwife said that for almost 90% of men, they find out they are positive for an sti only when their wife gets pregnant or starts trying because they don't test regularly enough. After all, men won't go to a doctor unless they're dying.

Hitme like others have already said you can definitely carry chlamydia for years and years with no symptoms. 80% of women have no symptoms. Make sure you repeat the test 6 weeks after the end of your treatment period to make sure it's worked. It's very easy to catch chlamydia as its so common. I can completely understand your distress and think you need to talk to hubby but try to stay calm as if he has carried it all this time from a previous relationship I'm sure he'll feel awful.
Such lovely advice from everyone, of course no judgement here!! I think the chances are very high one of you got it from a previous relationship and just never knew. If you were never tested before, how would you know? Big hugs and try as hard as you can not to worry. Thankfully it is treatable and sounds like it won't affect the baby. I would talk to hubby about it ASAP just as I think it would end up being reassuring and otherwise my mind would run crazy.
Hitme in really sorry to hear about what you are going through. I got no advice but hope you will get answers asap
Oh Hitme! I want to tell you that it IS possible to have had this for a while without symptoms. Years ago, I was in a long term relationship and had my annual. They always ask me if I want to be tested for STDs, and I said yes. We had just gotten back together after breaking up for a spell. Well lo and behold, I had Chlamydia! He got tested and tested positive. We played the blame game, but we were young- 19 and 21 at the time. Come to find out, my ex boyfriends brother called me to tell me a former boyfriend of mine had Chlamydia too, so who knows who I got it from and how long I had it!
I've gone on to have now three children who are all very healthy. Treatment is antibiotics and should be cleared up in no time.
I would gingerly approach your husband about this and say up front that no finger pointing/blame game will happen. If he has been unfaithful, you will know from his reaction and how he handles it.
As far as the baby is concerned, I'm not for sure. I do know that babies are pretty hearty and are resilient.
Hang in there sweetie!!!

Hugs Hitme, I agree with all the ladies here. If you are feeling up to it I would definitely talk with your husband. I'm betting after talking with him you'll feel better.
Thank you everyone. Thank you for being kind and supportive. I have to talk to him as he will need tested/treated. His flight was delayed so it will have to be in the day tomorrow.
I'm delaying antibiotics for only a few days (til the 2nd test comes back), and don't believe another few days will harm the baby, especially if it's true and I've had it for nearly a decade.
It's very emotionally stressful and I feel that physically as well. I am hoping to get a good nights sleep as I am so so very tired and be able to calmly approach him tomorrow.
Thanks again for your support, and sharing your experiences; it means the world to me right now.

Have a good nights sleep Hitme! It could happen to any one of us and I'm sure it's extra hard with all the pregnancy hormones and DH out of town!
FXed all goes well tomorrow xx
Big hugs xx
I decided to take the approach assuming that there was no cheating. We had a very quick conversation explaining my week, and he had all the same questions I had, about symptoms and dormancy, and whether the test is wrong.
We believe now he picked it up from his ex; as we found out last year that she was a (*** cough***) plus size adult entertainment film star before she was with dh. He told me about a female friend that had it but they were never intimate and he never asked here much about it. I guess we'll wait for my test results and then we'll head to the walk in clinic together to get antibiotics. That's the end of that...

Well good! Now you can focus on you and the baby. I'm praying that all will be well with you and the baby! Soon this will be a distant memory!!
Hugs sweetie! You did the right thing!!!
