I am not going to my general Dr as I am with a fertility clinic and then with a midwife come may... who gets the results? Do they phone me with them? Do they ask me who to report results to when I go in to lan for blood work?

Sorry for so many questions just trying to figure it out

In U.K harmony from 10 weeks with 3-5 day turn around and panorama from 9 weeks up to 10 days turnaround. I think panorama go to us for lab work. I think I googled and there's quite a few comparison tables that show difference in all genetic testing!
I went to private clinic who get the results and she said she will ring when they are back I'm assuming she will give me info over phone but I will request an email of report.

How can you tell if your thyroid is low? Like are their symptoms?

My OB mentioned this when I asked about my daily headaches. Is there another sign?

Well I was diagnosed hypothyroid after my 3 rd pregnancy I was suffering weight gain, tiredness, dry skin, hardened souls, dry brittle hair and hair loss, thinning eyebrows, achy muscles and general bleh! Some people have enlarged thyroid gland which is centred bottom of throat and shaped like a butterfly.

I mentioned it earlier and think I will get a check up as it's all hormones that the thyroid produces so obviously pregnancy can effect it.

I just noticed my hair still coming away in shower of which is normal for me but not when I'm pregnant I never see any come away!!!!

I just did more research and it appears that panorama here in Canada now does the testing in Toronto and so results could be way less than 10 days. Do you guys think if I went at 9.5 weeks that's too early?! Eeekl

I too am plagued with acne on my lower jaw/chin area. It's starting to go away, and I don't have any new breakouts. It just takes forever for them to go away!

Hopefully yours clears up soon!

We announced the pregnancy yesterday at Easter dinner and as I thought my MIL was over the moon lol!! She kept saying I know its twins, I know its twins!! I told over and over again there is just one baby lol! My youngest brother was a little upset that I didn't tell him before and I told him to get over it. DS1 was excited and DS2 was more concerned about who was going open his Easter egg haha but I still don't think they grasp the concept yet I guess they will when my belly gets bigger. I also announced it to my co-workers this morning with doughnuts. Here's a pic:

Mmmmm they look like Krispy Kremes and now I really want 1..... or 10 ha ha


[emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]

I don't know why the pic is sideways lol

I got them from a place called Daylight Donuts they are so much better than Krispy Kreme IMO. They are just so soft my description doesn't do them any justice lol but they are absolutely delicious!!

Thank you KC!!
I didn't post a sway mainly because there wasn't much of a sway to post! I only found this site the week of our attempt. My diet is VERY boy friendly! I always eat breakfast, I eat every 3-4 hours, about 100-120g protein per day, low carbs. I exercise daily but mostly lifting weights with maybe a day of cardio per week. I also take a multi vitamin, vitamin D and magnesium daily.
I used the sway tactics that I could implement last minute. One attempt in fertile window which just happened to be at O-3, jump and dump after about 3 minutes, missionary. There hasn't been a girl in hubby's family in over 18 years!

Is there a diet ur husband could of done do you think as it's the men that produce the x and y's???

When I met my hubby I thought cos he had 4 sisters and he was only boy I was guaranteed a girl lol how wrong was I

My diet was probs boy friendly looking at it, I was doing slimming world but not exercising and loved to snack, nearly all evening [emoji50]

Only thing I did was shettles in theory as we don't have contraception and been avoiding o time! So sort of trying but not if that makes sense! Been doing this pattern since mc last August! I used to fall in first month of trying or oopsing ha


[emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]

Hubby eats exactly like I do. Small frequent meals and tons of protein. He's pretty into fitness.
I really am content with this sweet baby boy that I am growing. However, I can't help but wonder consider some of my "girl symptoms." I also had a miscarriage back in October 2016 at 12 weeks (didn't know gender). I read where a girl had NIPT and confirmed boy but it was actually "left over" Y chromosome still in her blood from her previous pregnancy and miscarriage. Is that even possible? I am obviously not getting my hopes up and know that there is less than 0.0001% chance of this ever happening but you can't help but wonder.

I was exactly like you when I was carrying my ds4 always in that doubt and hope. I went for early gender scan and she said 'I can see a winky ' but didn't show me. So I literally convinced myself that she didn't know what she was doing and prompted for a re scan. Low and behold it was a boy. Then the rest of the pregnancy I just accepted I would do ht and I spent my days researching etc. And looking back I was still buying neutral colours [emoji849] and made out I was team green to everyone!!!! Once he was born I was in love, busy being a loving mother to my baby boy! I then gradually forgot about ht and life carried on until my niece fell pregnant and announced she was having a princess and I've been 'jealous' ever since!!!!! Here I am preggers again and obsessing again!!!! I wish there was a cure for gd other than having a hundred babies lol

I don't think so. I had a miscarriage in December 2014, and I got pregnant with my DS3 in February. I let them know, and they said that the only thing that would impact the results would be having a Vanishing twin or twins. With MaterniT21 Plus test that I had this time,it can detect gender with above 99% accuracy even with Vanishing twin or twins.

I really don't think I feel disappointed. I just read that and was shocked! This girl posted her boy results and then once she delivered posted pictures of a baby girl! In my head I'm thinking, this is DNA it can't really be wrong?!

That is baffling and I'm sure I've read that old DNA can be floating around but I think that was before they could test twin pregnancies maybe ???????

It's strange it's not that the feeling is disappointment it's more for me about will I ever have a girl and a bit like grieving for a girl I haven't had!!!!

I have it in my gut that I'm going to hear boy this week, I've been acting it out in my head, practicing my reaction


[emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]

I've always had first trimester fatigue, but the last couple of days have been absolutely unreal. The only thing I can relate it to is recovering from a bad flu. I slept at least 11 hours last night and have fallen asleep three times today unintentionally, twice sitting up. I feel slow, like it's taking longer for me to react to things and understand what the kids are saying. I'm not even sure I could safely drive right now. I have never felt like this. I'll mention it to the doctor and see if he wants to do more bloodwork, but anyone else have this experience? I was super tired with DS1, slept probably 12 hours a day, but I was never groggy and overly tired during the day like this.

Hopefully it's just pregnancy fatigue. I think it's a good idea to mention it, just in case. I hope it goes away soon! I was really tired two weeks ago- I think the baby was going through a growth spurt. I wonder if that could be going on with you now.

I actually had no symptoms. I mean I was tired but not any more than from what I expected from being in first trimester. The only way we knew with both my second born and this baby was from my blood work. If you've had all of your booodwork done check and see if this was amongst the testing. Hope that helps!

Had bloodwork at 10 weeks! I've just been dealing with horrible headaches and exhaustion beyond words. Never experienced either with my daughter. But maybe this is totally normal and I just got lucky my first pregnancy. But my doc had mentioned if the headaches don't get better then I should come back to have bloodwork done and check my thyroid.

So I was just interested in how someone you had found out about your thyroid problems. I'm 16 weeks and have gained about 4-6 lbs so not too terrible I know. But I really shouldn't have gained anything the first trimester I feel like. Idk.

I would still post your sway - if nothing else it probably strengthens the HE side of sways like so many of us who have lots of boys.

Good morning ladies! :)

So I got to see my bean last night and I've started a guessing thread here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...tml#post901768 Please have a look!

Honestly, it was a huge relief to see everything was okay. I'm in love now and super excited to plan for an arrival. DH got to see most of the action as I didn't have a good view and it has finally become real to him lol. This little bean is beyond super active. I knew I felt flutters, for two weeks now and a bit before.

I haven't caught up on the thread yet as I've been out most of the weekend, so I'll be back later. I have my first midwife appt in just a bit here, so getting ready. :)

XX, I have a due date for you finally. I'm settling on October 27th based on ovulation date.

Still having lots of headaches and major exhaustion. And already gained 10 lbs! At 14 weeks!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've gained 8ibs and I'm 14 weeks most of it was due to feeling so sick so had to eat so much bread now this weekend with Easter thrown in I've eaten so much chocolate haha!!

Symptom spotting can drive u insane I know I done it ! I hope u find out this week lady Tara like I said mine was 4 working days so not too bad but felt like forever !!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've gained 3lbs and I am 16 weeks too. I wouldn't worry about it too much Nann! Typically, I'm up 10-12lbs by this point!!

I hope everyone is starting to feel better with their symptoms. I get sour stomach still in the evenings sometimes but Tums or Zantac helps it go away.

Ok that's comforting at least! With my DD I didn't gain a pound till about 18 weeks then boom I shot to 35 lbs gained in 5 months [emoji23]

So I'm hoping this pregnant will just be a steady gain if anything. Like 6-8 lbs a trimester ideally [emoji23]wishful thinking ... summer will help though! I can get outside a lot hopefully!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm hoping to keep my weight gain around 20 lbs this time. I'm still losing very gently right now (my doctor and I aren't concerned), so it might be possible.

I haven't gained anything,in fact, I have probably lost 10-15lbs. My measurements are exactly the same as this time last year except my boobs are 2 inches bigger and my hips are 2 inches wider. All baby related for sure. I was bigger when I conceived due to my HE diet weight gain, but I didn't measure so who knows.

Im just a fatty �� my jeans are ready to pop..and im only 9 weeks yiikkkesss..im not worried though i found from my 5th and 6th baby i went massive by 4 months then stayed stable for a while.. im going to enjoy all the naughty treats �� x
