Congrats to all the new bfp's wishing u all H & H pregnancy.
I am so exuasted by evening i dont get time to come here frequently.
M/S has settled down a Bit. I have mixed OWT symptoms, so some times i get freaked out thinking of the gender.
i never had morning sickness with my girl. so thinking its a boy symptom for me :)
Good Luck Lady bug!
So, advice needed... I had my first appt today at 8+ weeks. Right off the bat, she asked me if I wanted to do a CVS due to my age. (I am 36) I didn't really expect that. She said it was my choice. I never did any testing with my DSs but I was younger then.
I had originally planned to do the first trimester screen (blood work + neck thickness test) at 11 weeks. I was thinking that I would still get results back in time to do a CVS if it was needed. However, I am planning to fly to Florida at 12 wks 3 days through 13wk 2 days to see my whole family for an important wedding. They don't really want you traveling within a week of CVS. I can't miss this wedding so I would be basically miserable the whole time I am there not wanting to tell anyone that my first trimester screen was abnormal and would have the CVS right when I got back. Of course, if the test is good, there is no need for the CVS.
OR I can just do the CVS at 10wks 2 days which is in only 2 weeks! I would get preliminary results within 3 days, final within 7. BUT there is a 1 in 300 risk of miscarriage. I would have a clear answer with no chance of a false negative. I don't want to think that the fact that I would know the gender in 2 weeks would play a factor but maybe it does? I know I need to find out ASAP this time. I have come a long way but I will have some major work to do to accept it is a boy and I want that to be done way before he gets here. However, I wouldn't risk it for just that either. My risk for age of a baby with a trisomy (1 in 156) is greater than my risk of a miscarriage from CVS (1 in 300.)
What would you do????
Hmmmm, that's hard NeedaGirl!....but my initial gut feeling is to wait.
Baby is in the uterus!!!!!! measuring perfect...he couldnt see the heartbeat because he has a really old machine in his office so he is sending me for another u/s at hospital to check for a heartbeat...but he did say the baby is moving and measuring perfect so he is positive all is ok....I am relieved but will feel better once I see that heart beating, another u/s in the next couple of weeks at the hospital...
That's awesome news ladybug!
Congratulations ladybug - great news!
NeedaGirl, I think the big question is what you would do or what it would change if you had a positive result. With my previous pregnancies I didn't do any non-essential testing because it wouldn't have changed the outcome for me but maybe just piled on a load extra worry and got me even more addicted to researching every tiny area of my life! Not knowing didn't stop me worrying, but I think knowing there definitely was an issue would have made me very anxious. Hope that makes sense!
Anyone else getting symptoms playing hide & seek? Last two days I've felt really worried the pg was failing because the sx disappeared. Now they seem to be back and tough - and I don't know how on earth I'm going to last until we get some kind of confirmation there is a baby developing properly in there.
Yeah, this is totally foreign to me personally. I never had a single ultrasound before. However, if there was a serious problem like a mono somy or trisomy 18, I am pretty sure what I would do with that result. Dh and I have been discussing and I think I am going to ask for the blood portion of the first trimester screen early. It can be done as soon as 9 weeks. If it shows my risk is low, I will skip the cvs.
Mind if I join you ladies. I am due first week of December. This is my third child, I have two DSs. Swayed girl but am not feeling confident.
I have a quick question, in the first few weeks I had a few pains in my left side but the past couple of weeks all the pains have been my right side. I am completely obsessed with the ramzi theory as it seems so accurate and now feel my chances of this being a girl are over. If anyone can give any thoughts on this please let me know. Thank you so much so nice being able to talk about this. X

Oh thanks so much for responding and being so welcoming. I feel so guilty feeling like this as I thought once pregnant I wouldn't obsess quite as much as whats done is done. Turns out I am obsessing more! I will definitely look up the info on babycenter. Congratulations to you and all the other ladies on your pregnancies and fingers crossed we all get what we swayed for!
Don't feel guilty! You can't silence what your heart yearns for until it is achieved! You can try to fill the void.. and think about how blessed you are already but you will always feel like something/someone is missing!Quote:

HI, girls, congrats on your pregnancy! I am trying not to think about the Ramzi theory b/c there are too many factors, I don't think it matters what side of the uterus the baby is on anyways, just where the chorionic villi is attached.
Oh, I had my first apt and u/s today and found out I am having twins! Totally in shock right now!
OMG! Congrats! I'm sorry we were down all day! What big news!Quote:

OMG Amari! Twins! Awesome!:twins:
Congrats on your twins Amari! FX they're two little girls :luck:
Wow - how exciting! Daunting I bet - but VERY exciting too. Wow!
Thanks, girls. It does feel very exciting but very overwhelming too. I slept about 2 hours total last night!
They said they don't know if they are identical or fraternal. So scared to tell my parents who didn't even want us to have a 3rd, silly, I know.
Ahhh lady there you are!!! Well was there one or two sacs? Did they see those?Quote:

Two sacs, which is good. Apparently they can still be identical and have their own sac. I bet they are fraternal though! My dh wasn't there, I was trying to record the heartbeat on my iphone for him so you can here me sorta shocked saying, "is that why my stomach is so big already?" and she says "Yes". That's all though! Dh is in total shock and really scared. We are sturggling financially as it is so that is really scary. Are you hoping for twins?Quote:

OH MY GOSH I didn't know that!!!! Now that is neat! :D
That's cool though, any video recording of that moment will be treasured!
I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling, I know how that is. But the Lord blesses us with our babies for a reason otherwise we wouldn't have them! Is there a way you could qualify for state assistance at all? I would totally totally look into it, especially for two!
Please don't feel guilty! Do what you gotta do! If I did have twins my DH would be right where yours is! haha
Well, It would be neat! If I had two boys and two girls or 3 boys 1 girl, either combination would make me very happy! DH has threatened divorce if I try for another.. so this is the last baby for us. So I prayed that if I was meant to have more, then it better be now! I ate a lot of yams (because I thought those were the right ones to eat) and coupled with vitex I thought well...it could work, and it would be neat! I'm pretty nervous right now... thinking.. what if.. what if I had two but now it's one? I found out my ghost lines insanely early. Anything is possible.
I am just so excited for you hon, it will be okay!

Once again!!!
Amari- How exciting!! I have always wanted twins. I wish you all the best in your pregnancy!
Congrats Amari! How exciting! It is much better if they have 2 sacs. The question is if there are 2 placentas. 1 means identical, 2 fraternal.
Anyone else have escalating m/s? I thought I was going to get off easy this time as it a was not too bad. Last 3 days has been worse by the day...
You took clomid, right Amari?
Wow Amari congrats on the twins!! I would be as nervous as you are, but everything usually works out in the end and hopefully you have two little girls in there :)
She told me on another thread that yes she took Clomid! :)Quote:

YES! I get m/s that way! Yesterday was my worst day yet. :( It gets the worse (for me) around 12 weeks then stays that way until 18. :( Hope you do better that that! Feel better!Quote:

You only know for sure before they are born if they share a sac/placenta you know for sure its identical, and if they are one of each sex you know for sure they are fraternal! I learn something new everyday!Quote:

congrats Amari!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha - mine is similar though I have times where it is completely gone... Today we had friends round and some stayed for the evening so we had takeaway curry. I'd been feeling really sick and I think they were quite shocked by the gusto with which I tucked into the poppadoms!Quote:
