I'm cautiously joining you guys! Very excited! EDD April 26, 2015!
Lyagirl and bluebonnet!!! FANTASTIC to see you here!! Massive congrats and welcome :)
Welcome bluebonnet and lyagirl!
Welcome and congrats lyagirl and bluebonnet! Exciting stuff :-)
Welcome new comers!! Congrats on your BFPs! The group is growing nicely now.
I'm 10 weeks today! Yay! I can't wait til our scan in 2.5 weeks. I wanna see how big baby has gotten. I gotta blame something for these 11lbs ;)
At the moment, I feel pretty strongly baby is a boy. And I'm good with it. I change my mind a lot though. Our sway was not strong at all, mostly concentrating on factors out of my control. But we had one attempt, at my lowest conception weight, skipping breakfast, and eating much less than normal. I wasn't sleeping (lost a close friend) and nursing my daughter still. I also take aspirin regularly, so for what that is worth. And first cycle after a chemical. Decent enough. We were mostly trying to "even the field." I felt if I did nothing, it would 100% be a boy. So I wanted more of a team green experience.
Just had my 12.3 week ultrasound and saw between the legs and didnt see boy parts but the tech said that means nothing. Argh she wasn't helpful at all and took what i think to be not the greatest pics. Baby had hands up by face.. so cute!. But got to see baby and she/he was doing flips in there! Heart beat w as 159.. and all looks good. I hope people guess on nub theory bc its driving me nuts!

As far as our sway, I think it was so-so. We started the HE diet back in October thinking we were going to have our first attempt in Dec. But then we bought a house in Dec instead, lol. And then we got really sick in Jan, so waited until Feb for our first attempt. Tried then and in March, then decided to wait a couple months, as we had some pretty major stuff happening in our lives. Needless to say, by that time I had gained about 15 lbs and was starting to feel crappy about myself, so I stopped the HE diet for the most part when we got our BFP from the June cycle. But, I was still up in weight, and was focused on eating mostly protein, was working out pretty heavily except the week of our actual attempt because we were on vacation at the beach. We had 4 good attempts with lots of O's right after we got our positive OPK, and had been really good about taking all our supps and such. Overall, even though I wasn't doing the HE diet hardcore, I was still feeling quite masculine, lol. I even remember finding I had started growing a faint mustache! So something in all that was definitely giving me more testosterone! And my trainer has always told me I'm built more like a man than a woman (exactly what you want to hear, right?) meaning that I have a lot of testosterone and can gain/lose weighty easily, so I'm hoping that works in our favor this time. I've always assumed I would be the mother of boys, and when we had our daughter, I was actually shocked that our sway had worked and that I would be a girl mom! Ultimately if that's what I end up - only a girl mom, I'll be okay with it, but it just feels "off" to me, as I always imagined I'd have a brood of boys. I grew up with 3 full brothers and 3 half brothers so that's all I've ever known! However I will say that once having Lyra, I now get what all the fuss is about daughters :-)
What a cute pic Robin! Congrats on a healthy little one :-) I wish I could give you some thoughts on nub, but I'm not very well versed in it and can't really even see one in that pic. But someone with more experience may see something I'm missing!
I know! Its so confusing. I put it under the ultrasound. Forum in hopes someone can help. Lol. I know i cant tell! :(
Cute pic robin! I have no idea about any of those theories so you did the right thing posting it in the ultrasound forum
Congrats on all the new BFP!
I am 11 weeks and just now getting sore breasts! Sickness is getting a little better but I have been having major sinus/headaches that will not go away!! Any ideas on how to help with that? I do the Netti pot and Tylenol but it doesn't help!

Yipeeeeee blue bonnet sooooo happy you made it into this due date group!!!!
Robin gorgeous bub, techs sometimes have zero people skills, I would do a separate post if you haven't already asking for nub guesses they are some experts here!
Hotdogs looks great! I so agree I feel good that I tried to tip the balance a wee bit!
Aoii sorry your sinuses are playing up not much advice from me hope you feel better.
Crazy cat your sway looks great too! I hope we all get girls and you and pop get boys!! Xxx

Welcome new BFP's!!! I have been so sick for the past week with some horrible flu thing, I think I am dying lol. Morning sickness has hit too which is so yucky. But I can't stop eating which is a new one for me. Normally I lose weight in early pregnancy due to food aversions. Craving meat/carb combo's and living on gonger ale and morning sickness tablets. Got sore boobies and am exhausted!
Hi ELP....and thank you so much hon xxxx
Ugh Princess of Pink - sounds like you are in the throws it :-( Hope you feel better soon!! And I know cravings don't necessarily mean anything, but meat/carb combos are what I've been craving too and am also hoping blue, so maybe it's a good sign for both of us!
Congratulations on all the new bfp!! Xx
I honestly think everyone's sways looks great! Fingers crossed for everyone :)
Gorgeous bub, wish I knew more about nubs, will have to read up more on the subject :)
Is everyone going to try to find out the sex or leave it as a surprise? I'm torn as to what to do :/

Hi lyagirl,
Gosh that's all I can think about!!!
Love to hear others thoughts....
I am all ready driving myself up the wall analyzing every symptom when I know deep down they mean nothing!!
I LOVED having a surprise with DS1 but I did not really have a preference. I found out at 20 weeks with DS2 and had awful GD I was sure I would get a pigeon pair. I believe I have made peace with having a third boy but this is it!! No more chances after this!!

That's what I'm battling, I don't want GD for 20 weeks and think once that baby's in my arms I won't care. But the organised part of me wants to know so I know if I'm selling boys stuff and buying girls or not. I'd love to find out at 20 weeks and have the preferred answer lol. But like u I kind of think (hope) I've made peace with the fact it could be another boy

I really hope I can hold out for team green xx

We are staying team green, or team "gray" is what I'm calling it and will decorate the nursery in gray/white and then add in gender colors once the baby arrives.
It's going to drive me crazy but I think we are going to do it! Although I finally wrote up my sway and now I'm even more nervous about it being a boy. My sons are saying they think it's a boy...ugh! I think I'm destined to be surrounded by penises the rest of my life lol

Lyagirl this is EXACTLY how I am feeling <3Quote:

So I'm really nervous and really trying to just mentally pretend we have been told it's a boy already.

Oh and here is my latest scan at 11wks 1 day, looks almost identical to ds2 at that same gestation!

Hello ladies,
I have been a member for a long time but very rarely post. I got my BFP yesterday at only 11dpo and confirmed on the digi too. I am due on May the 1st.
Congratulations to everyone :)
Welcome and congrats orchidea!
We are definitely finding out, and asap too! We found a place that will do the gender ultrasound at 14 weeks, so only a couple more to go!! For me, I am a planner, not to mention I feel like I need to know the sex and start thinking of names to really connect with the baby. Plus, if it is a girl, I'll need the time to get my head wrapped around the idea. I don't think I'll be devastated, just disappointed that I won't ever have my boy :-( For whatever reason though, I can't help but still stay so positive - I really think it's our little guy :-) If not, I'll deal, but I'm trying to stay positive!
Welcome orchidea and congrats!
Beth - great pic, I'm really not sure if you can read into it at this stage but I'm not an expert either. Fab that all is well with the babsie.
Crazycat - if you are a planner hopefully this would have swayed blue for you :)
Still haven't decided whether to find out, the opportunity is a long way off anyway :)
Can I join? I got my bfp June 27th unexpectedly at 12dpo, had just started a boy sway but not sure if it was good enough! I'm 11w2d today and have barely any symptoms, no ms (I did have it for 2 weeks from week 5-7 but only at night and no vomiting or gagging), I was super irritable from weeks 5-9 but have evened out since, my bbs only get sore at night if at all, my hair is greasy as all get out, and that's about it! No strong cravings yet (but if I think of if, I have to have it! And is usually savor instead of sweet), no aversions, don't have super strong sense of smell, no bleeding gums.. All very different than my pregnancy with dd! Hopefully that's a good sign? Ramzi has me convinced its a girl even though I only had an abominal us @ 8w2d and it was a dr not a tech performing (had a trip to er due to flaring UC, common in pregnancy but I had been in remission for a few years) and he couldn't even tell me which way was left from right up from down lol at that time hb was 172. I hope we all get what were dreaming of!(:
How many threads are there for march/april?? I don't think I ever posted in this one.
Hello everyone. .I am 11 wks along and my ultrasound is scheduled for next wk at 12 wk 4 days
This pregnancy has been completely opposite of my first which doesn't mean much so I miss having easy breezy beautiful pregnancy lol
Okay, so we just had our first scan for the NT testing :-) I'm about to write a whole lot, so sorry in advance for the long post, lol (also cross-posted). First things first, baby was healthy and everything seemed to be good, measurement-wise for the NT part of it, so that's of course the best and most important news :-)
When we sat down with the tech, I told her that I understand this is for the NT testing and that that's the most important thing, but that if she could get a nub shot, I;d really appreciate it. Her response was "I won't". Really? I asked her why not and she said because she doesn't like to guess unless she's 100% positive and that it's too early to be sure. I told her that I can understand that, but that I DO like to guess. I mean, I wasn't asking her for her damn opinion. I just wanted a pic of it so that I could have fun guessing! So yeah, the whole apt started off pretty rough. She tried to make it up to me after that by asking questions and being sweet as pie, but I was still a bit irritated at her, and irritated that I was irritated at the first viewing of my little one!
Anyhoo, as she was getting her measurements, my spirits lifted dramatically because I kept seeing the nub and it was definitely looking very clearly boy to me, but I didn't say anything and was just hoping she'd take a shot of it on accident. But either way I felt happy because it definitely looked boy. Then, as she was going through, she even commented on it and took a pic, saying, well, if that doesn't end up being boy, I'll be shocked because it's definitely looks that way. She then softened up a bit and started getting angles of the nub so we could look and I was agreeing with her. She even did a potty shot where we saw a turtle, but both of us agreed that shot wasn't as make or break, as girl parts can still look similar from that angle. BUt still, in the end she was practically telling me that we definitely have a boy! Hubby and I are just so excited right now!!
We obviously won't celebrate just yet, but it has give me so much hope :-) During the ultrasound, the baby was actually measuring 12w6d today, even though I thought I was only 12w1d, so they decided to move my due date up. They said they normally don't when it's within a week, but because I knew my cycle so well and knew it was longer this time and that I ovulated a little later than normal, plus the fact that our daughter came naturally almost 3 weeks early, they decided to move it up. So now I am officially not in this group with a 2/25/15 due date (but I plan to keep hanging anyway!!)! We found a place that will do gender determination as early as 14 weeks. We're going to make an apt for 2 weeks from this Friday. We'll actually be 15w2d with this new calculation, but I really want it to be accurate, and the main deadline is the following Monday, as I'm going to Vegas for a work thing where I will likely get a lot of free baby stuff, so I wanted to be able to tell them if it's a boy or girl :-) I dunno.. I'm looking at the calendar now and am tempted to make the apt earlier. Even a week from this Friday we would be 14w2d... I will have to think about that as it's very tempting!!
So yeah... I'm feeling pretty good right now, lol. I will post a couple pics below with decent nub shots. Would love for you ladies to give me your thoughts! Will be posting on the other board as well. Seriously on cloud 9 right now!!
Welcome lucky duck and congrats :)
Nub shots. Please let me know what you think!

Crazy cat... I hear you! Those techs are brutal. Like be nice! Im not very good at guessing nubs but i would post your u/s pics under the ultrasound forum anf ask. I did that yesterday and got great responses! Baby looks cute though. Congrats!
Oh and i think thats deff a boy nub. Fyi! :)
And i too have my gender ultrasound on fri sept 5! Lol
Thanks Robin :-) I put it in the Ultrasound forum and already 3 people said boy!! I'm seriously in tears right now, lol. Damned hormones! I honestly thought I had convinced myself I would be perfectly fine with a girl, but of my, I think it mattered way more to me than I wanted to admit. Still have to be careful, as nubs are not 100%, but I am feeling pretty good right now :-)
Nice! It will be a big day for both of us :-)
I totally feel the same. Everyone has commented girl for me and i am in shock. I hope they are right!! I watched an american doll commercial this morning and started to tear up about the fact that i could have a daughter. Lol.. hormones!
Oh, I hope they are right too!! I just wish everyone could have their GD!! I love this site though, and everything atomic posts is like gold, lol. I did the IG sway when we tried for Lyra, and although it did work for us, I was never involved with their community much because I never felt welcomed. Here has been so much different, and I feel lucky that atomic decided to start this site before this attempt for us :-) Especially since the IG sway for blue sounds like it would have been miserable!!
