Sorry Cassidy, I really thought you were going to hear girl based on your 12 week scan. Congrats on your little man though, he's going to be perfect xSent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkQuote:

I’m not really doing ok. The lady told us it was a girl, then went to do a second check and told us it was a boy. Then proceeded to continue to show us his parts. It was horrible. I didn’t sway, this was an oops that happened right as I was setting up my sway.
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the hurt and frustration of being told girl and then having them come back only to say boy. What an upsetting experience.Quote:

Cassidy my thoughts are with you, I know words won't be able to ease the disappointment but know that we are here if you need to vent. I am so so sorry you didn't hear pink. I hope you feel better about this little guy once he arrives.Quote:

That scan sounded exceptionally cruel -- to have been told your dream and then for it to change. Maybe it would help to at least leave a review for the place? The tech sounds irresponsible to have given a guess if they weren't sure in the first place, only to then change it!
I am so, so sorry <3 We're all here for you.
Sorry I havent been around, been feeling down both physically and mentally... GD suddenly smacked me hard and Ive been having my own little pity party. Trying to pull myself out of the doldrums.
Cassidy, I def know how you feel... with an oops its like you never even really had a full chance. I'm sorry you didnt hear pink either. Our boys are coming for a reason <3 If you need to talk feel free to PM. Im working through all the emotions as well.
Cassidy im sorry you didnt hear pink, i had the exact same experience with the 20 week scan for my DS3, tech said 99% certain a girl when she did the potty shot then later in the scan (presumably as baby moved) she went "oh wait its a boy" it was awful, i had my long awaited and dreamed of daughter for all of 2 minutes before she got "taken away" so to speak.
looking back on it now im glad she saw he was a he and corrected the mistake there and then, because i cannot even begin to imagine going through a full pregnancy with "my girl" only to give birth to a boy... that would have broken me completely.
hope you are feeling ok :heart: he will be the most perfect fit for your family once he arrives but i know how hard it is to feel that way right now xx
Just had my follow up scan. Measuring perfectly at 9 weeks. Heart rate 175 :heart:
I just wanted to add, I went back and looked at your nub. I saw vague stacking that looked like forking but nice and flat like girl. Mine was the same for the most part. I also, during my early scan, saw that looked like 3 lines while she was measuring a femur bone and my heart leapt. Im def thinking of you :awe:Quote:

Cassidy, I’m thinking of you and hoping for an overwhelming sense of joy to fill your heart & head. My last one was very similar. My heart raced when I heard girl, then he really showed us who he really was. My pregnancy was rough from that day but we quickly found a name for him and then he quickly stole my heart. I could not imagine life without my little guy. He brings our family so much laughter.
My anatomy scan is in a week and a half. I’m preparing myself to stay calm and be very insistent that the sex not be written down, recorded or even told to the OB. Someone is gonna mess up. I just know it. We are so excited for it to be a birth surprise now. I might just take my headphones and tell her to let me know when she is done going south. Hahahaha. I think now there is part of me that really feels someone is gonna spill the beans before the birth. And that makes me more anxious/nervous than the actual sex reveal. In fact, I told my husband that I am the only one who can go to appts after the scan. If someone slips, it’s going to be to my ears alone. Then maybe I can just hold an incredible secret for the remainder.

Your experience sounds really awful Cassidy. I would have been broken by that too.

I’m sorry you didn’t get the news you hoped for Cassidy. I know nothing we say can make it better, but we here if you need to talk. :sad:
Well ladies, I feel like the world's biggest, to put it bluntly, idiot. Husband and I decided todo Sneak Peek (it's like gender testing at home we got on Amazon). Got my results today and, wouldn't ya know, came back BOY.
I feel dumb. There is a chance the test is wrong and I'm upset for nothing, or it's right, and I'm upset because it's not what I was hoping for. I wish we had just waited. But we didn't see the harm in it. Now I'm left feeling like, "what if?" And "it could be right." So basically same boat I am already in just now more upset.
Lesson learned for sure. [emoji58]

I’ve definitely heard that those can be wrong - especially if there was “contamination” from your DH or son’s DNA. Hoping it’s wrong for you!Quote:

Probably an early gender scan (which we should have saved our money for). But we definitely know better now!Quote:

I was considering doing this test because so many friends have had success with it. I have definitely heard about the contamination thing which is why I have reservations. Did you clean the area really well and under your nails? I’ve heard there shouldn’t even be a male present in the house while collecting the sample!Quote:

No males were present but I had my mother help me and she didn't wear gloves ( OOPS!) and I'm not sure how well she washed her hands. I feel like we were so excited to do it, we probably just didn't take it as seriously as we should have.Quote:

There are always variables and things. I just have no idea.

Yeah, I totally don’t trust it after reading all of that! I’ll be skipping it!Quote:

Lab error, possibly not enough blood to thoroughly test. And of course going the other way, male DNA can get into the test via contamination.
Beyond that, I would ask "how do we even know the blood they tested was yours"? One would hope that you could trust an ethical company; however this does not seem to be the case. In addition to the critical reviews on Amazon NOW, they had a different Amazon account originally and took it down because there were so many negative reviews. And when people try to get their refunds, the company is really balky and slow about it. They are also deleting negative reviews off their facebook pace. So the company doesn't even seem to be trustworthy and it makes me wonder how often they are getting people's DNA samples mixed up, or what hapens when they have a lot of tests to process, do they ever get behind and just send people back some answer and figure they have a 50-50 shot at it, or what?
The only things to trust are the blood tests done in a lab where your blood is handled by a trained technician, there is always a chain of ownership as to whose blood it is. And even hospital labs can make the occasional mistake on DNA testing.
It is always possible that the test is correct and the baby is a boy but I would not get upset yet, not by a longshot. FXFXFX.
Hey ladies... How is everyone doing? I feel like our board has been fairly quiet lately :)
Has anyone used a maternity belt in pregnancy? I'm thinking about getting one. I'm getting big SO fast and I'm already starting to have back pain (which I never really even had the first two times around!). Just wondering if anyone has any positive/negative experiences!!
Yes I used a smiley belt last time. I suspect I'll need it again soon. It was for the baby pressing on a nerve... sort of helped. Probably would have felt worse without it.Quote:

Hi ladies, I've been totally AWOL the last few weeks but finally all caught up. SBB and Cassidy, I'm so sorry you didn't hear what you'd hoped and I hope you are able to find peace with time. It's hard tho. GD sucks!
TP I've been thinking of you. How are things with DH now? Hoping you guys are met each other in the middle xxx
Does anyone have any scans coming up soon? I got my letter - no appt til Oct 5!! I'll be close to 15 weeks but that's ok cause we're going team green anyway!
I've been super super sick. Like reeeeeeal bad. The anti nausea meds are finally kicking in and I'm feeling some relief. I'm 9 weeks now so only a few more first tri weeks to go please Lord!! I'm starting to think baby must be another boy as I'm just as sick as I was on #1 + #2!! Surprisingly I'm ok with that, I think!! I'm really excited to meet this little one, I just feel that despite the obstacles the cycle we conceived he was meant for us!! And I'm really at peace with that! [emoji170][emoji173]

Def quiet, although I lurk a lot. Been blah. I havent used a belt, even thought I was massive with DS2. This one I havent gained anything, and dont look any different and Im 17 weeks today. Zero complaints haha
Other than my debocle with the Sneak Peek test. I've been pretty "blah" these days. I'm 12 weeks and just feel like crap most of the time. Nauseous sometimes, but overall, low energy and just no drive to do anything. I keep getting headaches and I've never really dealt with those before.
Hope the rest of you are feeling well and hoping everyone's pregnancy is going good!

I’m definitely considering some sort of band or belt as well... I just can’t imagine how I’m going to get any bigger, but obviously it’s gonna happen one way or another. Yikes!! I have an anatomy scan coming up, but I did NIPT so no gender excitement (gosh, I hope! I’m pretty sure I’ve seen nub on regular scans though so I don’t anticipate any surprises!) I’m excited to see LO and make sure everything is going well! Honestly, I’m growing very concerned about how I’m going to look for my baby shower. I walk by a mirror and don’t even recognize myself. Sigh... the joys of pregnancy.
I’m 9 1/2 weeks and the sickness is on another level this week. Constantly nauseated and not much helps. Hoping it gets better soon. My next appointment is in a few weeks and I’m on the fence about finding out gender with nipt. Glad everyone is doing ok!
