Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

Sorry you're sick, TTC5!

Yeah, I get to join y'all in here! DD right now is Nov 1, 2012! Hoping for a sticky bean this time!

Mocha - dopplers are fantastic aren't they? won't be long until your scan now!

TTC5 - hope you feel better soon

Yahmama - congratulations!!



still feeling petrified about the scan, hoping I can keep busy to distract myself.

Hobber, I'm with you. I was eating way better on the HE diet. Now I eat icypoles, hot cross buns and whatever I can find!

Yahmama, yay! We're only a few days apart.

YAY!!! Congrats on the BFP!!

So I did the red cabbage test. My result was similar to Mocha's. Looks pretty purpley pink, but if you hold it up to the light, it is fuchsia (I asked DD1 to tell me what color she thought it was, and "fuchsia" was her answer!).

I guess that is a girl result? Not surprising, really. I know my sway didn't work. I am just trying to concentrate on the baby being healthy. I hope everything is okay at my 12 wk scan. Still need to decide if I am getting the CVS as well.

it's a pH test... if you've gone back to your pre-sway diet it's very likely that this test would say an opposite!

Hobber - it's a very personal choice, so no judgement, but I personally wouldn't even consider CVS (especially considering how far away you'll have to go for it) unless I got suspicious results from my NT scan and bloodwork. If those other far less invasive and risky tests show that there's a reason to worry, then I'll start to consider amnio or CVS.

I am calling the Dr. who does the CVS tomorrow. I think I am right on the edge of the time when they do them (9 weeks is the earliest I think). I might schedule the appointment, and if my 12 wk scan is suspicious, then do the CVS; and if everything is okay, then cancel.

I agree with rainbow. It is merely a ph test, so your diet controls it totally! And if you're like me i went back to my normal eating habits as soon as our attempt was over!
