I’m not having many symptoms yet. I feel mostly normal aside from being more tired than usual and I have extreme constipation and bloating already. Nausea hasn’t started yet, but I don’t normally get it this early anyway.

I’m not having many symptoms yet. I feel mostly normal aside from being more tired than usual and I have extreme constipation and bloating already. Nausea hasn’t started yet, but I don’t normally get it this early anyway.
Me too, I am being really protective about this pregnancy, barely anyone knows. I’m going to wait until after NIPT and nuchal scan results etc. before I even tell family. I just don’t want to have to explain to everyone if something goes wrong again. I have my first obstetrician appointment today so I’m hoping he’ll give me a little scan in his rooms but I know there won’t be much to see yet! I saw your hcg levels, they look incredible! I have a good feeling this is your sticky rainbow :)Quote:

It’s more likely we’ll wait until Christmas or New Year on the early side. If our trip to Thailand in early January doesn’t get cancelled (it’s looking likely it will), we’ll do a cute announcement from there. This is my last pregnancy and I’d love to show it off and enjoy it, but I’m just too anxious about something going wrong again.
Thanks everyone, I’m still coming to terms with it honestly- I swayed and prayed hard. I’m praying It’s a contaminated test but preparing for it being accurate. It’s not that having a fifth boy is the end of the world- I love having boys! But not having a daughter knocks the breath out of me.

I know exactly what you mean. I love having boys! I always wanted a brother growing up, begged my parents for years to have another baby so I’d have a chance at a brother but nope, just me & my younger sister. We wanted a boy first and we’re blessed with that. I love being a boy mom! I love having boys! I love watching them play and grow together and be brothers. It’s great! And I know having another boy and giving them another little brother would be great and we’ll be very happy with that also! But I want the other experience too... the thought of never having a daughter just absolutely crushes me.Quote:

We even started talking about boys names yesterday and actually found one we like!!! Just a few more days... this wait for the results feels worse than the TWW honestly! [emoji29]
hakrueg do you think you will try for a third in the future? I know kind of hard to know that at this point, lol! I think that was one of the things that made DS2 being a boy that much worse to accept because back then we really didn’t know if we could ever have another. But maybe knowing back then that we WOULD be able to try again, would have helped me a bit.

PS: one more thing, I just have to say again how thankful I am for this site. I’m in the May 2021 due date sub on reddit also. Today someone made a post asking who’s going to be team green basically. That spurred a whole discussion on “gender doesn’t matter” and “not forcing gender on babies” and all the usual shaming etc etc. TWO other people mentioned having a strong gender preference and the possibility of gender disappointment, that was it. I didn’t even bother to comment because I probably would have been down voted [emoji23] only two other people even know we swayed at all, I would never say that on reddit or anything, but god forbid if I commented on that post saying we’re anxiously awaiting the NIPT results and hoping for a girl because we have two boys already!

I forgot to update on my HCG levels. I’m happy they have been rising well.

I’m having my dating scan in a week but if I go off my LMP my due date is 8th of June so we’re right on par! Your hcg levels are much stronger than mine though. I am worried but the obstetrician isn’t because they doubled in 36 hours so that’s faster than average.Quote:

When I saw my obs today he did a little scan in his room and he couldn’t rule out that there was only one gestational sac! It looked like there was either 2 sacs or he was picking up on an ovary and one sac. Eager for my dating scan to find out more because I was on clomid there’s a risk of multiples! I couldn’t see the yolk or anything in the sacs but my obstetrician said it’s probably too early (at 5 weeks) to pick it up.
That’s a beautiful range! Lots of sticky baby dust to youQuote:

I have got a little nausea since yesterday, but it’s not too bad yet!
We have talked about this being our last baby, I am praying so hard now that I am just able to feel happiness regardless of the sex... so scared for GD.

Haha oh my goodness it would totally be my luck haha! We were very much done with 3 and then we had a surprise #4 earlier this year which sadly didn’t work out and I was heartbroken even though nothing made sense to have another baby but the seed had been planted so we tried for #4 to see if it was meant to be. I was only going to give 2 cycles of clomid a go then close the door on this chapter if I didn’t fall in those 2 months (it took 6 cycles with my daughter). Well to our utter disbelief it happened the first cycle with basically one attempt!! So all I could really do is laugh if we get twins too haha. After everything though I realise just how much of a blessing and gift being pregnant and having a baby (or babies!) is so after the initial freak out I think it would totally embrace it. I love being a mum more than anything in this world so kind of pinching myself that I get to experience this again, at my age and also after really feeling like we were done it’s pretty special. :)Quote:

I’m also scared about GD because I feel like going back to the baby stage was a big call when my youngest starts school next year and I finally have more freedom so I really hope our sway worked so badly. :pray:
All the pink dust headed your way!
I have one son who is turning 1 on November 2nd, he is such a sweet and funny little thing💕 love him to pieces!
Hey guys !! If you guys want to sway again please add moon sign to ur sway next time !! I personally did check the date you guys conceive it’s totally accurate!!!
Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius these are the boy signs!!

Omg so exciting ! Good luck for your next scan!Quote:

I know that my DH and I BD’d on the day when the moon sign was cancer and my positive opk the day after was moon sign cancer but the day after it was Leo. Not sure when I conceived though...
Personally moon sign is not something I believe in. It makes zero sense to me that the position of the moon in the sky on the day you conceive has any effect. If it were that easy, all we’d have to do is look up the right signs and wait until everything is “aligned” ... it just doesn’t make sense.
If you search for moon sign here there’s a couple of topics on it. Here’s one
Once again "the moon sign"

I hope all those who got sway opposites are ok, it must be disappointing although definitely have it confirmed at a scan if you've done the home tests! I have to say I am nervous still about ours but I'm definitely glad I have somewhere to talk about it. Although I'm more nervous altogether the last few days as my symptoms have all gone a bit strange, I was getting huge waves of nausea and feeling rough but its changed and definitely less nauseous. 7 weeks tomorrow so it shouldn't have gone yet! I say that and I think I'm probably non stop eating some days to suppress it 🙈 Definitely still super exhausted!
Told a couple more people over the weekend and was asked straight away if I had any inkling as to whether its a boy or girl but I really don't know! I'm not sure food cravings necessarily mean anything, particularly as I'm slightly craving salty crisps as well as orange juice, grapes and pineapple 😂 oh and chocolate but I'm not sure that counts as I always want chocolate!

I got an email from Natera today that they received my test kit and my specimen is processing! I called them and was able to get my case number so I could register it to my patient portal. I know they won’t release the results to my portal until my provider authorizes them to, but at least I’ll be able to see the results myself after too!
I’m hoping we’ll get the results by Friday the VERY latest, but crossing my fingers for sooner... [emoji24] our 6y wedding anniversary is this Saturday and my parents are taking the boys so that we can go out to dinner. We’ve been waiting for these results before telling them. I really want to tell them in person this weekend when we see them! [emoji1695]

This cycle I ovulated right after we returned home from a mandatory wildfire evacuation. It had been several days with no sex, so we BD’d the night we got home and then the next day was positive OPK so we BD’d again. I’d been so upset thinking we’d have a wasted cycle due to being away from home and all of us sleeping in one big room together in a friend’s basement. With all the stress of everything going on I had given up on having hope of conceiving and was just feeling defeated. I’d even cried hysterically to DH that I didn’t think I’d ever get pregnant again. The next morning I got a positive test. Surprise!
So close hotlikemexico!! So exciting!
I felt defeated too bunnygirl, I really didn’t think it would happen and knowing we were only going to do two cycles of clomid I just felt in my heart it wouldn’t fall pregnant at all. We bd day 14 then I got a pos OPK day 15 and didn’t bd again until day 17 so I still can’t believe it happened for us.
P.S. 6 weeks today and nausea and exhaustion definitely starting!

LOL! Yeah, I read somewhere that Natera is one of the longest to give results. Argh! Plus it doesn’t help that they may not have actually sent it out until Saturday!! Someone on reddit said that her office told her that the blood is good for 7 days after they draw it so they don’t always send it out right away. I didn’t get the “test kit sent out” result in MyChart until Saturday... originally I assumed they just didn’t release it to MyChart right away but now I’m afraid they didn’t ACTUALLY send it until Saturday!!!

Yeah I hear you! Butterflies flies all the time in tummy! Hope you get it sooner, after seeing all the ultrasounds and these results I am too impatient for my appointment now. I recently changed my obgyn so don’t know how they work. I am in MA and now Covid cases are also rising so but nervous going out.Quote:

I can’t follow her because I work for the local hospital system and I have to stay within their network. [emoji3525] But so far I’ve had a great experience, the midwives in this group are great too! I hope you have a similar experience!Quote:

The office and hospital system though have tons of precautions in place, constant cleaning and disinfecting and social distancing, masks required at all times, phone screenings before your appt and they also screen you AGAIN when you present for your appt including temp checks. I’ve had other appts in besides pregnancy related ones and I have my first physical therapy appt for my back this week — I’ve felt very safe I guess, with all the measures they have in place to prevent the spread in the offices and hospitals. I hope your area is the same!

Ya I am greater Boston area! All the town near me in red zone .. ya they are not allowing anyone with me! My first ultrasound is on 28th October , they wanted me come a lil early though but I wanted to wait a lil for my leave of mind . They are doing all the screening before hand . Even I have to go for PT as my right shoulder and arm is killing me and can’t do much about it at the moment [emoji17].

Spoke to my midwife briefly yesterday and have an appt booked for next Wednesday which is a bit exciting! She'll send the referral for my first scan appt so hopefully I'll have a date to work towards soon!
Anyone else finding their nausea is worse at night? I keep feeling utterly horrendous from about 10pm for a few hours, its stopping me sleeping sometimes [emoji15] I'm getting waves in the day too but its definitely not strictly morning sickness for me.

Y'all I just need to vent for a second because you guys are the only social media I really check. This pregnancy is hard. Like maybe it's not, I mean I'm not throwing up and I can eat certain foods so I know I shouldn't be complaining but I just keep comparing it to my first which was def a unicorn. I can barely sleep because I feel sick when I go to bed, then get up to pee, then about half way through the night I feel so uncomfortable. I get like 9-10 hours of sleep but I feel like I haven't slept at all in the morning. The naseua is bad too. Some days it's worse than others. Usually it's morning/evening but sometimes it changes on me. Eating helps sometimes but there's only like two actual meals i can eat. Heat bothers me, spinning bothers me, even a rocking chair bothers me! I feel so helpless this time like I need so much support from my husband because of how bad I feel. Plus I haven't told me job yet because I have anxiety in general and just didn't want to cause issues, but my job is exhausting and I know I can't keep doing it.
Thank you ladies for listening.
Hot like Mexico- I'm exited for you to get your results!! I can't believe I go get my blood drawn in less than a week.
