I'd definitely just ask DH what the result is. You're going to worry yourself sick stressing over a possibility and not a confirmed actuality.

LoveRR- when I went in for my first sonogram I was measuring a week behind (but we saw a start of a baby). Dr thought everything looked ok and I had just ovulated late. The month I got pregnant was my first time chatting but I had tracked my ovulation with opk to get 3 kids so I thought I was close. I had to come in a week later for another sonogram. The baby had actually caught back up and she keep my due date based on May menstrual period. When I went in for my 12-13 week sonogram they thought I was still measuring a week behind. I know one of my other children was behind if not both and both came a week early and were 6.9 and 6.10 pounds. Hopefully you just Oed late!!
Oh, Quinn!! That's a hard situation. Obviously, I don't know ur DH but it does sound like he's really into letting you not know the gender, I could see him trying to throw you off. With our hormones right now you may drive yourself crazy!!! You may need to ask him.
I'm 19 weeks today!!! I raked yesterday -u don't realize how much ab muscles that takes until you don't have any. Since last night I've been having Braxton hicks. It's sort of scary. Happening often and at the top of my uterus. If you all hadn't just mentioned it I'd be totally freaking out.

I just took down a very heavy green waste can and had to use so many ab muscles I didn't know I didn't have right now. I'm sure my neighbors were laughing hysterically at me. Lol. So I know how you feel!Quote:

And the heartbeat was nice and strong. So, I would say it's too early to worry yet. I honestly don't think they all grow exactly according to when they should.Quote:
I thought I was over 8 weeks, my last period was February 12th. I went in for my first ultrasound and they didn't see a baby , but saw a nice strong sac. I looked it up and saw it was called ovum blite. They had to do a second ultrasound and it measured 5 weeks 6 days.
My dr said she wants to see me next Thursday and will look for a yolk sac, look for growth , if there is no growth , then it is bad news. The good news is the sac looked nice and round and not shriveled up. What your opinion about this? I have never experienced anything like this .
Hoping hard for you that dh is playing it off, Quinn! I don't know how you have the willpower not to ask. I'd be dying to know. Fingers crossed!!
Okay so I got a Doppler and tried to use it for about 3 mins and gave up. Is there a trick to it or is it too early? I'm 10w5d.

You might be too early Lauren. A gf and I tried for me when I was 12+6 and just managed to hear it for about 5 seconds. You need to be pointing it under your pelvic bone really at that gestation. Don't be surprised if you can't hear it until 12-4 weeks. Sometimes they are good at hiding. You may hear it earlier, but don't freak out if you don't.
Two girls and one boy, due October 16
I picked up Baby J's at about 9 weeks. It takes a lot of patience. I had to go for sides(soft area next to hip bone) and point the wand toward the center and just above the pubic bone to find his/her HB. I also had to push in a bit and baby was often very near the strongest sound of my own HB early on. Even with all the patience in the world sometimes you just gotta wait it out. I tried every few days until I finally caught it and been able to find it daily since. Some people and some pregs you just can't find the baby's HR until after the uterus pops up from behind the pubic bone(around 12 weeks). It also depends on your doppler and it's strength. Finally, sometimes (even now at 14 weeks) I'll hear movement before I find the HB. If you hear the swoosh-swoosh of movement keep looking (and moving) around in that area.Quote:

AFM- I was up half the night worrying. I've convinced myself that it's a boy for sure and now I'm devastated. I want to just cry and cry... I never imagined my life without a daughter.
After reading a little last night I think I might've had a bacterial infection when we conceived, which would almost for sure give me a boy due to high ph. I feel really hopeless. I prayed all night long for peace in my heart and the ability to find joy in a boy pregnancy.

I know it's a girl. Now just trying to accept and move on. Hard because I feel like I failed and sad because I can tell he's hurt. Feeling foolish for spending so much time and energy on swaying. Eating specific foods I don't really care for, supplements, lifting weights, and gaining weight. That will be the hard one for me to come to terms with.
So sorry Quinn. Lots of hugs and comfort for you and DH. ❤️
Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]
I'm so sorry Quinn, hopefully you and your DH find peace in that you tried everything you could.
Quinn you know because of the feeling or he told you?
Ladies, I am so emotional and weepy over every damn thing suddenly , both sad and happy things. It's ridiculous and I'm over it lol. Ugh!
I'm sorry hun (((hugs))) at least now u both know and can come to terms with it and baby's birthday can be a happier day and you won't have to deal with GD then. Fwiw, girl doesn't necessarily mean girly... this one could end up being a tomboy. I was only girly for as long as I had no choice in the matter (when my parents dressed me and such). I was a major tomboy.... even wore men's shirts a lot because the women's clothes were too "frilly" lol. My point is you may not be getting the boy you wanted but doesn't mean DH won't get his fishing, car fixing, game watching (or whatever DH is into) buddy :)Quote:

I feel you. Maybe that's why I've been crying so much last night and today about probably having a boy. It makes me feel horrible but I get so upset when I think about it. I'm trying to decide if I should get a nub shot next week or just wait until 15 weeks. Either way, the thought of finally knowing makes me get that sinking feeling in my stomach... Because I feel like I already know.Quote:

He told me. Well I basically guessed and he confirmed. It would have been hard for him to handle that on his own. I love having girls so I'm okay for the most part. I'll be sad to not experience a boy and the comments we're going to get are going to suck. I have a feeling I'll be rude to some people.
Hoping you get your results soon Two! I want to take a break from the board to process things but want to know your result!

The fact that I most likely had a bacterial infection when we conceived also puts it almost to a positive boy because of the ph levels.

Oh Quinn that's so hard. :heart:
Lauren I am having the same feelings. I feel sure it's a boy.
I logged into my Panorama account today and it says they've received my bloods and it's processing. Projected the 26th as the date it would be finished. So far away and at the same time I don't want it to come.
It's so disheartening. I continue to pray for peace in my heart if it's a boy... It's a hard thing to swallow when you feel like you've invested so much and did all of these crazy things for so long. A year of my life I devoted to something and a freaking bacterial infection probably ruined all efforts.Quote:

Does anyone know why ramzi theory is apparently less accurate after 8 weeks? I have my 10 week u/s and it looks to my like the placenta is closer to the left (transvaginal) which would mean boy, according to the theory. Why wouldn't that be as accurate as two weeks earlier?
Attachment 30833
Isn't that where it's attached?
Attachment 30834
Without the drawing ^
Because the uterus shifts in angle and position. Also, as the placenta grows it spreads out so it's less clear what the original attachment point it. Ideally Ramzi is done at 6 weeks before things start shifting and accuracy goes way down. Also, it's only reliable if the view is done in the transverse plane. Transvaginal scans can be imaged in different planes so you need to have the right one also.
What about abdominal? Are those accurate or can be switched??Quote:

Thank you Bunny Girl :-)
Lauren, I don't think the nub theory is fool proof. BUT I would totally do it if you have the option.
Ramzi theory only applies to transvaginal transverse scans. It has not been studied in other views so it's hard to know what the accuracy is. Transabdominal scans don't flip the image (even though I see this posted a million places on pregnancy forums). It shows the same thing as transvaginal, just from a different viewpoint, like if you were looking at something outside your basement window versus an upstairs window. The thing is still the same, you're just coming at it from a different angle. The image could be flipped, but so could a transvaginal. It's just a setting on the machine they can push to mirror the image. Typically what you see on the left-hand side of an image is what is your anatomic right side.Quote:

Thanks bunny girl! Is 12 weeks the best time for a nub scan??Quote:

Yep, between 12 and 13 weeks is the best.
Quinn, I'm so very sorry. I completely understand needing to take a break and process everything. Come back when you're ready, we'll miss you. Sending you peace and comfort as you and DH work through this together.Quote:
