They are more likely fraternal, but there is still a 20% chance they are identical. Since they are di/di it is the least complicated type of multiple pregnancy. If they are the same gender we'll be getting a zygosity test at birth to determine if they are identical or fraternal. If the egg splits by day 4 after fertilization identicals can end up with their own sac and own placenta.
Try massaging magnesium oil or magnesium lotion over the area.Quote:

Congrats, great news Bunny!
Blue Bear, congrats and welcome!
Just quickly popping in

For muscle cramps you need magnesium. You can get spray on topical which apparently works better and easier absorbed than oral. I got cramps with my first pregnancy and always increase my mag now when pregnancy and haven't had a problem.

Hello Momma's!
I feel like a lurker, ha! I have been reading these forums but haven't posted. So this is my first post. :wave:
I purchased a plan in early November (I think) and tried my best to sway though was pretty crap at the diet part due to the holidays and the family stress that accompanies them. Anyhow, what little bit I did do was my attempt to sway for a girl. I'm due October 13th which is DH's birthday and he desperately wanted this 3rd baby so it's the perfect gift for him.
I'm on the fence about finding out. Right now I'm supposed to be Team Green because we've never been surprised before at the birth and DH has wanted to each time before and I promised him I would for our 3rd and last child. When I found out the DS2 was a boy I was sad and feel very guilty about that because I wouldn't trade him for a girl ever now! He's so perfect for us. So a part of me says that I need to wait because I would never be sad about a baby in my arms, boy or girl. But deep down I want a girl and so does DH so I hope somehow I can deliver our wish. Ha!
So grateful for this forum!
Hi crd5ed :) Congrats on your pregnancy. You are due one day after me and Twointow :) Did you have your boys close to their due dates?
I have two boys and swayed girl although I don't think I did a very good job of it. Nothing I can do about it now though!
Did some more tests tonight...
My internet cheapie test is now as dark as the control line. My OPK is darker than the control line. (yes I have lots of tests to use up!)

How is everyone doing?
team yellow :)
To help fill in my holes: We didn't sway unless doing nothing but taking clomid and couch potato counts as a sway lol. But I also took plenty of vits, ate lots of blue stuff, multiple attempts, etc. So I don't really count that as a sway.Quote:

We are team green at this stage unless I cave in.

Sorry two, I was so used to you swaying previously!
Yay for team yellow :) will you get one of those harmony type tests?
Team green is awesome too. I was like that for my first and loved not knowing. I don't think I could do it now, I need to be prepared mentally for another boy.Quote:

Yeah, I don't think I did a good job with my sway either but I'm thrilled to be pregnant and am kind of already preparing myself for another boy. It seems easier than getting my hopes up for a girl. :p
I completely understand that purple. I had to know with our third, cos I was desperate for a boy and didn't want to be disappointed at the birth. With this fourth baby, I will be happy either way. I do want a boy but I won't be devastated this time with another girl. I just need to prepare the kids. Dd wants a boy, dd2 wants a girl.

Thanks so much 2xblue!! Congrats to you too and hoping we both get our girls!:pray::luck:Quote:

But as the day continued is slowly got stonger then turned to nausea, followed by productive belching (eewwwww!). I have a few preggie pop drops left and ordered some green apple and cola flavored ones as the ones I have are exceedingly sour and my tummy is not pleased by that fact. Hopefully they show quickly. I am thrilled to be feeling this way as I see it as a really good sign but can't be "purging" at work. So, I will need them to keep that at bay.
How is everyone else doing??

Hi ladies! I'm joining the group I had a BFP 9 dpo. Today I'm 10 dpo test were darker today. My EDD should be October 22. I swayed boy. I have 3 DD. I just want a healthy baby but a boy would be a nice change. This will also be our last baby so I pray we get our boy. We will find out bc DH don't want to wait. I would like a gender reveal but not sure how we would react if it's another girl. We will love either health is first. I cried bad with my third and felt horrible now I would not trade her for anything. I know that GOD will give me what I need. So excited to get to know all of you the next nine months. Prayers for everyone. I will plan to make my apt the 2nd week in March that way I will be able to get my first scan also.
Welcome Gagirl! I hope you have a little boy snuggling in there :)
I'm 5wks tomorrow but not feeling much symptoms yet. I have sore boobs but I had that last time too. I will feel a bit more relaxed if I get some nausea as I have had it with my boys but not m/c pregnancies. It normally starts 5/6 weeks anyway so trying not to worry yet.
Two, that is great you are getting some symptoms, sorry you feel crap but happy too as its a good sign! Do you have an early scan booked?
Purple according to FF I am 3weeks 2 days not really having any signs yet either but more tired than normal and peeing a lot. I was sick with all my girls really don't want that this time but I know it's a good sign. I've never wished for someone to feel sick but I hope you get your ms soon to ease your mind purple.
Hi Ladies - feeling the same as you purple. Wanting to keep symptoms because when I had my two mc's last year I felt "too good". However, now I'm working closely with my old ob rather than the midwife I was going to use, so I've had my betas done 3x and we get our first scan next week! Nervous but excited to hear the heartbeat - saying prayers! Two - I got my ms with my DD starting at 6 weeks and lasted until 17 1/2 weeks. I'm just over 5 weeks and have had some nauseousness but then I'll have a snack or rest and then fine. Sore boobs as well and just more tired - but I've always enjoyed sleep - ha!
Welcome gagirl! I've been following you ladies a bit in the Feb 2ww a bit so hoping we get more ladies to join us soon!!
Congrats! Welcome and H&H 9 months.Quote:

So just the one baby then?
Congrats and welcome Gagirl!
Two, what kind of pain werw you having? Great that everything was fine at the scan.
I understand why everyone wants to have symptoms even though ms isn't very nice. I hope everyone will have H&H 9 months!
I heard our little bean's heartbeat with my doppler yesterday. I could only here it twice for a few seconds. But was so lovely to hear it.
Yup, just 1 seemingly healthy sac. My body had me completely bamboozled this cycle lol. I only O'd from my right side unless the left side's follicle collapsed (was telling the u/s tech that I am usually right but this time my body fooled me and she said thr collapsing thing was a possibility). It was kinda funny though. When she first started looking it looked like there were 3 little sacs (you can see one of the others in the pic. It does not look round in the pic but as she moved the wand around it looked a bit more rounded from different angles). I just about panicked! But I said something like "why does it look like there are 3????" And she said the others are just fluid because they aren't in the endometrium. Hahahaha, trips terrify me so that was a bit scary fot a bit lol. Anyway, back to the point, unless the one sac splits into 2 beans it is just a singleton :bigsmile:Quote:

Same as last time. I was worried my corpus luteum had turned hemmoragic and wouldn't produce the prog needed to sustain the pregnancy. But it appears to just be scar tissue on my ovary.Quote:

It's so weird this time around for me. I started having indigestion and stomach upset from heavier meals before I tested positive which is sooner than any other pregnancy for me. I'm already avoiding onion and spices because my stomach seems upset after having them. Boo!! :( No real nausea yet though I seem to forget when it is that kicks in and everything I read said it's rare to have it before 6 weeks so I guess I'll find out soon, ha! My forehead is broken out already, and a little breakout on my upper back which sucks! Nothing seems to make it go away yet. If anyone has any tried and true remedies for breakouts while pregnant I'm all ears! I'm too old for this, ha!
My oldest son (6yo) came down with a stomach virus for the first time in his life last night and vomited all night until 1:30am this morning. It was so rough, I was trying hard not to sympathy puke!! My hubby was so sweet and did all the clean up and laundry for me so I wouldn't retch anymore. Ah, the joys of parenting! :)
Raw egg whites on your face. I've never done it, but I've heard others swear by it.
Does anyone know how I wean off some of my supps? I've msg atomic but have not heard back yet?
For what?Quote:
