There is a nub in some of the photos so I will post tonight once the boys are in bed. I need to take photos of them and don't want to be caught out as we haven't decided when to tell them yet.Quote:

She didn't say anything. At one point I said "oh that's a nice clear nub shot" but got nothing from her.Quote:

I will post the photos in a few mins in the ultrasound section.
Yeah I understand, you don't want to get your hopes up, just incase.

Oh wow just saw the pics, looks really promising for a girl purple. Sometimes when there's just 1 pic its hard to say but 3 that are all so clear is awesome!
They all look very girly purple, I hope our sways have all been successful, would be amazing if they are!
Has anyone started using a Doppler yet? With my boys, I found the hb at 10 weeks, 9 weeks and 8 weeks. I tried last week unsuccessfully and again today at 9+2 briefly but other than lots of noise (which oddly sounded like movement?!) I didn't hear much, no heartbeat. I still feel really crappy and have got so blimmin chubby already which sucks (I'm usually can 8-10, clothes are starting to get snug), I just hope all is well as there'll be no second chances on this one x
Hey ladies... sorry I haven't been in here. It's been a crazy crazy 1.5 weeks. My hubby is still not onboard with having another baby. I told him it's not a choice... what's done is done!! Anyways, finally saw my OB on Friday and had my first ultrasound. Everything looks good- nice strong heartbeat... and officially due 4/8/17!! Dr. gave me a little scare though... the look on her face was a little frightening... and then she turn the screen to me and I almost lost my lunch on the table. She turned the screen and I saw the second image - Anyone know what that is? After she turned it and maybe saw my face, she said- just wanted to make sure there was only one in there. ?!?! When my boys I never had any morning sickness... got sick once with my daughter and once this time around... BUT I have all day nausea and NO FOOD sounds or tastes good to me. Yesterday was my oldest sons bday... I could hardly eat at dinner and could hardly eat the cake. So not my norm. I know that doesn't really play into the gender, but I certainly hope it means I'm having a girl!!!! ;)

Next scan is in 3 weeks and then I will also do the MaterniT21 test. I will be 11 weeks then.
Cinss- What an amazing ultrasound- so clear. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!!
Purple- Glad to hear everything is ok. Can't wait to see your scan!!
Congrats on the healthy scan Brandles. Did the OB have any ides what the extra bit was on the scan?
My scan pics are here
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...week-scan.html
What? No explination from the tech Brandles? Thats very weird, must be twin?
.
Thanks ladies... no explanation except she said there is only one baby. Totally forgot to ask her until I got home and studied the pic more. I was thinking maybe the yolk sac, but it looked too solid to me.
Brandles we have the same due date :)
i'll have a scheduled c section March 31st im hoping though...i dont know if they do them on saturdays and if not they will make me wait until monday? uh no. they really dont wanna do that with me lol..
first trimester is so long ladies. I hope everyone else is chugging along...thats for sure all i can manage. house is a mess etc...i just cant be bothered when i feel like absolute poop.
having awful vivid dreams...last night had a nightmare about miscarriage. i have been so crampy lately that i am hoping its just a crazy pregnant womans 'nightmare'..literally.
I did our Facebook announcement yesterday. Picture of the kids holding the ultrasound picture. All reactions have been positive. Not one said anything about gender which surprised me.
Burakoam my dreams have been insane also. So vivid that when I wake up it feels like I have not slept at all. And the dreams are usually more like nightmares.

I did the sneak peak test... got the results today. They came back boy. This will be boy number 4. I was not disappointed which pleasantly surprised me. Both dh and I really did have a feeling that this was a girl so the boy result did come as a bit of a shock but we are excited to welcome a fourth little boy into the world. We have already decided that later down the road we will adopt a girl most likely out of the foster system. We will have our girl. Just not biologically. :)

I think (might be wrong) sneak peak is one of the ones that has a lot of false results. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. You may get a bigger surprise yet Jen! But if not glad you are at peace with another boy... I think I'd name another girl Cecilia.
Yes there is a lawsuit against it and results on baby boards vary. But I'm inclined to believe the boy result is right considering. Have 3 already lolQuote:

I had to Google the sneakpeek test, I haven't heard of it before. So how long does the Y chromosome stay in your blood after you have a male baby, or is it only during pregnancy?
It says to not do three months after a miscarriage so I am guessing 3 months. My youngest is 2 in Nov so I'm sure it's gone by now

cinss i think its a few years at least. but it doesnt hang around in all women.
edit: this claims at least 5 years. but that for the most part they work hard to seperate previous fetal blood from current meaning sometimes they might fail but for most part they can
UPDATE Fetal blood from prior pregnancy? - BabyCenter
Well its all very interesting.
I find it amazing they can even find fetal blood on our blood!
Progesterone results from today were good, back in the 60 tange. No more blood tests for at least a week and a half now when I have my hospital appointment (although woth DS2 I declined the tests but I might try to be a good patient and do some of the standard testing until I at least get into the homebirth program)
I will probably ring my GP tomorrow to see if the NT risk results are in because that will determine if we do the harmony test.
Jenren, congrats on your boy, it is great you aren't feeling any GD. How many weeks are you? Have you had a 12wk scan yet?
No 12 wk scan as I'm only 10.4 today. I just read a bunch of reviews on amazon about the sneak peak from the last couple months and there were quite a few people who had their gender inaccurately guessed. I still think I'm having a boy but it makes me wish I had never done it.

I guess you will have to wait to confirm then. If it had said girl you probably wouldn't believe it!
So DH just told his parents. They were surprised as I don't think they expected us to have another when our youngest is about to turn 5. I'm so glad I wasn't there as I may have strangled my FIL who said he wants it to be another granddaughter (he has 1 granddaughter and 4 grandsons). If it is a boy I won't be there when he gets told as I know he will complain! I said to DH that this morning they had no idea they were getting another grandchild so they shouldn't be now putting in orders for the gender!
Oh and MIL's first question was asking if it was an accident..
I wouldn't say that test is 100% Jen especially having 3 male babies already, but I know how you feel. Big hugs.
Thanks ladies I will be happy with a boy I just wish I could be 100% sure so I can move forward the sliver of doubt is awful. I should've never done the sneak peak :/

What date do you think I should go with? Based on LMP I'm 12w 5d which actually matches up with the scan from the other day... or my ticker which I based on ovulation date. I know it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things but I'm wondering which date to use if I get a gender scan at 15wks?
I'm still feeling really cruddy at the mo, all day nausea which is only marginally helped by eating all day long which really isn't helping my weight gain �� On the plus side though, I did find baby's heartbeat on my Doppler last night running at about 165bpm!
I've not heard of sneak peek either but I don't think I could rely upon it with so many false results...x
Purple I would go with lmp date, if you had cycles at 28 days it would be accurate
3's a charm I'm right there with you hon... Had two days where it was Non existent then it came back with a vengeance..I am so sick of being sick all the time and eating to try and subdue it that now I am not eating hardly anything as if mentally I am on strike with my own body. Of course this has led to more dry heave puking.. Blah.
Jen I am sorry. For what it's worth if I had seen you post about the sneak peak test before doing it I would have warned you... I think it's a cheaper alternative to harmony and the others which is why it's so popular... People thinking they can get the same info from a tiny finger poke amount of blood when the big companies take a huge tube of it to make sure they get what they need...last I read on that test people were of the general consensus that sneak peak got lucky with guesses more often than not and they weren't actually pulling fetal blood like the other companies... Still a chance it's right, you do already have boys.. But if you really wanna know for sure before 12-13 weeks or 20 weeks is suggest one of the more expensive tests for piece of mind. I was quoted 695 out of pocket for Verifi here in the US.. But if you have had a certain number of miscarriages or over 35 your insurance will cover the cost.
Think of it this way... If a tube of blood is used and they only find a fetal fraction of 7-10% on average how the hell are they finding any decent trace in a pinger poke of blood?
I swear, I really feel like being pregnant causes people to have diarrhea of the mouth! I mean, who says something like that to their child out loud?! I mean what would she say if she were told the truth that you had been trying for over a year and miscarriages and chemicals one after another?! Ugh!Quote:

Hi everyone. Just catching up. I haven't seen your scan pics yet purple but will asap. Glad everything went ok. Sorry about your in-laws reaction. I have spent most of this week in tears worried about peoples reactions and comments as physically I'm not going to be able to hide much longer. My belly popped up a few days ago. Not baby of course but it's displaced stuff and it's quite obvious. I wouldn't care but it doesn't affect anyone. We take it ask for nothing, nobody helps us, has kids etc but bet they will still have an opinion!
Jen I'm sorry you heard boy from your sneak peek. I did a similar test with my dd3 and it also doesn't have very good reviews. It was however right for me but I felt much like you. Wish I hadn't bothered. I obsessed at stories where make DNA doesn't show in maternal blood etc. So we ended up paying for a gender scan at 15 weeks so it was a whole pointless excercise. You seem very at peace which is great. I was like a loonatic for a few weeks. Honestly I was terrible. I don't know how I will feel if it's girl 4. But it occupies alot of my thoughts xx
Burk and 3. I'm totally fed up too. I've never felt this ill. Just been sobbing to my hubby. I don't feel hungry ever, no food appeals to me. I feel sick if I eat. Sick if I don't. All that's keeping me going is this has to end soon. If it was down to me if take myself to bed for 7 months! To make matters worse it's summer break and my kids are entering their 6th week off school. Could this have fell at a worse time? I just thank my lucky stars I'm not at work as quite truthfully if have had to quit.
Hope everyone is doing well. Time seems to be going so slowly xxxx
baby2016baby, Burakoam, and 3'sacharm... I feel the same way as you ladies. I have to agree, this all day nausea is making me eat all the time and it's definitely not helping the numbers on the scale. I have gained 6 pounds so far and already weight 10 pounds more than what I started with my last two babies. I'm curious to what we are all having since we all pretty much feel the same.
Who has gotten their MaterniT21 results?? Just got ours today and was told it's a healthy girl!!!! Just nervous about the accuracy - I was SO sure it was another boy!! I am afraid to get too excited and then hear at u/s oh it's a boy. I empathize with MILs who don't understand how hurtful word vomit can be! I have one of those!!
Yay!! Congrats Kell... Did you sway?
That's awesome!!Quote:
