Can you try needle and thread theory over belly?

The needle and thread is even more unreliable than the Sneak Peak. It's a complete old wives tale -- not sure why recommending old wives tales over and over is supposed to help anyone one way or the other.

Yup, that's a possible ovulation symptom. Not sure where you are in your cycle, but that's also a possible implantation symptom too -- so if you weren't ready for this to be your cycle, I hope it's just the former!

@Cnburke: Oh, we're the same age! My midwives office wouldn't even order the test for me despite me pushing, which bummed me out because my first cousin had a child with DS very young (and we're all very fresh off the boat, so there's only so much family history to know if it's a fluke). I've heard that you can call some (or one?) of them and, even if insurance doesn't cover it, they'll reduce the cost out of pocket. I understand if you don't want to go that route -- I know I'll be experimenting next successful pregnancy to see if it pans out!

I heard that also so I called and they said they offer cost reductions if you make under a certain amount and we never qualify for things like that :/ .. which I try to remember that I should feel blessed but that still doesn't mean we can afford a thousand dollars for a blood test ! Lol
I hope you find one that is covered :) where are you from ?

I appreciate your words and advice :) however , I had to try to understand why you said sneak peek isn't reliable and then recommended I try an old wives tale ? Lol
Just to be clear , sneak peek is a blood test . Not the urine tests or anything like that sold in drug stores . I'm just unsure if the company operates the same way as legit labs that doctors refer you to do. I've heard great things about it and then horrible things so I guess I will just wait until my scan before going out and buying more pink stuff ! I will post a nub shot just for fun at the end of this week if I get a good one!

I'm in the Midwest in the U.S.! Do you remember which testing company you called? I swear I remember reading that maybe Materni21 was the one you could order and even if they sent you a large bill, you could call and say, "I can't afford this," and they'd do a sort of stock price of like $200-500. I have to wonder if the cost of the test is much lower than let on because of that, and that the prices are more because of the possibility of insurance paying out on them. Then a gain, it's been well over a year since I looked into any of this!

This is MaterniT21. Mine only cost $200 with insurance. My insurance company negotiated the $2000 price down with them. I was 35 at the time though and was told that was why it was so cheap. I have had friends call them when they got their bill, and it was reduced to $200-$500 depending on what all they tested for.

The company I called was 'progenity' . Which is one of two companies my doctor uses. However, I went to my doctors today and my doctor would rather me go ahead and do the blood test instead of the NT scan because he said it is more reliable . He said he is sure it will eventually become the 'norm' in the states as opposed to NT scans . So I went ahead and did the blood work and should have the results back next week or so , including gender :) but most importantly health :) my doctor assured me that it would be completely covered or at the most a $99 copay . He said if not to call him and he will discuss it with the company . But he did write on the order form that I have a history of abnormal chromosomal results , which I do . So hopefully that covers it :)

So I won't be posting any nub shots now but will update in a week or so with results !!

Heartbeat was 150 today @ 13 weeks ;)

So I went through a few succesfull boy sways and noticed many 'gree tea's', as in many women added gree tea in their supplements. I can't find gree tea but found many greeN tea tablets/powders on amazone. Is there any difference and how effective is it?
