Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

Niva- your chart is looking promising! FX :)

So I went to the Dr today and got my blood drawn for my prenatal screenings. She is also doing a Carrier Screening on me. She seems to think I have about a 50% shot at it turning up positive, which means I would have a chromosomal abnormality that I'm passing onto the babies and possibly the cause of my losses. I am terrified to get the results :( if its positive then I will at least have an answer, but there is nothing I can do to change it. I guess its very common among bi racial people ( which I am, my father has African American and Native American heritage... youbwouldnt think to just look at me though... I'm very light skinned). Anyway, the test is called InheriGen.

Niva, nice looking chart. :agree:

Charlee, I don't know what to say other than fingers crossed that the test comes back negative. When will you get the results?

I hope that it is negative....and that this little baby is your keeper!!! Any wait for blood tests is too long in my books...may the time fly for your results.

Niva, I agree. Your chart looks great! Hope this is it!

Charlee, I do hope your tests come back negative. But even if they are positive, it doesn't mean your current bean is affected -- a carrier has a good gene to pass on, too! Crossing my fingers that this is your daughter, finally.

Thanks all, I do like the look of my chart. But I have fewer symptoms than last month at this same dpo. Not emotional at all, no feelings in lower tummy, and no obviously keen sense of smell (beyond when I'm looking for it, that is). My gut feeling is that I'd be very surprised to see a bfp this cycle.

How are you doing, Cagirl? You need to add your chart to your siggy so I can stalk! :)

Charlee hopefully the test will come back negative! Your Boys are not affected so I am positive this little one won't be as well!

Niva my symptoms started at 8 dpo I had less symptoms the days before then the previous months. Your chart looks great!

Ladybugs the pics are beautiful. Glad to hear everything is fine!

6 weeks today and the baby is now the size of a sweetpea. :awe:

Charlee hope the test comes back negative Hun, but I agree it is best to know what you are facing with. I wish they would test me.

Niva hope you get that BFP!

I'm still the week of the raspberry (both the baby and me :rofl:)

Niva keeping my fingers crossed for you, the 2ww is awful!

Ladybugs, what fabulous pictures! They brought a BIG smile to my face :) can't wait for my scan, have to wait till 12 weeks tho :(

Charlee, I hope the results come back negative! Like Niva said carriers still have good genes to pass on!

I haven't been well this week, my MIL had a tummy bug last week, I saw her on Friday, Monday evening I started feeling very poorly and was violently sick :( am feeling better now but off my food and still nauseous, do you think I could have caught her tummy bug or may it be morning sickness?

My ILs are going to be in town next week, so I am going to leave the scan pix on the fridge and see if they notice. They may see the belly first though....lol, and it might give it away!!!

My pregnancy with DS2 had the least hints in the 2ww and was by far the most m/s, symptom filled pregnancy!!! Sending all our testers and waiters and ttcer's the best, brightest and pinkest vibes for bfps!!!!
