Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[Emily]

Mathilde and Waiting I think both your nubs are so unclear they could go either way. I really really do. Unless you saw something on screen that I didn't see in the pics. Also, I don't personally believe nub theory is as effective as the studies say it is, despite trying to convince myself it is when it suited me. I definitely don't take anything for sure until the 20w scan, or a private gender one from 16 onwards.

Mathilde yours was completely different in each shot, and Waiting I dont know for sure that the nub is captured all that well there.

Yep what she said^^

My doc was very up on the nub theory and she said it can easily change and often does. So there you have it straight from the horse's mouth. She siad that inexperienced techs can get it wrong for both genders and that experienced ones can be fooled into thinking that boys are girls if the nub is late to angle up. She may have been trying to cover herself of course but i think what she said makes sense. So basically if we were patient enough to get a 13 week nub shot with an experienced tech we would have a much higher chance of being sure. The 20 week scan is much more reliable though.

Talking of which, the receptionist at the clinic did not call me back and when I phoned to ask about it she said it was because i could not have a scan till 26 weeks as their only tech who was not away was booked up. I trued to be firm but polite although i think the polite bit may have slipped at points! I should hear today.

There is another place that I can d my scan so if the clinic cannot sort it out I will walk.

I would totally be walking! 26 weeks!!! Is that even on for an anatomy scan? That's crazy!

Are there any private ones? Where you can just pay?

Thanks girls. My old ig friends have said same thing, nub either not fully captured or not captured at all and one actually zoomed right in and said the line I thought was nub is disconnected from the body. So feeling more positive but still think its probably a boy lol.

Rainbow I'm 27, so luckily still have more time tho I have always said I don't want babies after I'm 30. Tho that could change!!!

Emily - OMG, 26 weeks! I am seeing a specialist for my anatomy ultrasound (since they did my NT scan & MaterniT21), and they do theirs at 18 weeks. I think I've heard before that the baby is really too big much past 20 weeks. Yes, I would walk!

Waiting4Daisy - Oh, yes, you have time for another! Good for you! And yes, not really seeing a nub. Woohoo!

AFM - Emotionally feeling a lot better. That was a rough couple of days. I think I'm just having faith that there's still a chance...but honestly, I will be shocked if it's a girl! That would be an amazing surprise! (But I truly believe that God is fully capable!)

Ah to be 27 again! I did not even start thinking about kids till 30.

I think the last date the anatomy scan is worth doing is 22 weeks so I will def go somewhere else if they cannot do it sooner. Meeks this is private! There are very few providers here and evener fewer that speak english.

Emily, 26 weeks? What?! That's ridiculous! Think they have messed you around enough!

Mathilde, waiting, it's still soooooo early. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you both!

Rainbowgirl, found your boob question interesting, I was wondering something similar myself. My boobs grew by a couple of cup sizes with DS1&2 but this time they are huge (!!) they are getting to big for my maternity bras, never had big boobs before, not sure what to do with them oh and I'm expecting DS3

How about you book the other place for 22 weeks, and keep trying this place until then. That way if they give you one, you can cancel the other place. If not, you have a backup booked in.

Hi all, just dropping in quickly. Not much to report this end - at 8DPO. Too early to tell I guess but not really feeling any differently to normal apart from a little bit of a sore twinge in the side of my breasts every so often. Not really thinking this is my month. Has O'd a couple of times in my sleep this cycle, so hoping if this is my month it won't count against me!

Congrats to all BFPs and GL to those still TTC or waiting to find out LO's gender xxx

I think I have one booked for this monday!!!!!!! Whoop whoop. i spoke to someone else at the clinic and just asked for an appointment without saying when for. They have to check with the doctor that it is OK but I think I am in!

[myrainbowgirl]

2lovelyboys - Very interesting about boobs. So weird that they grow so differently with each pg! You are lucky to get huge boobs...oh, my poor little tiny mosquito bites. LOL!!

Emily - Woohoo!!! Yay for Monday...can't wait to hear! Are you AMA, by the way? Just curious.

Bunnywabbit - Sore on the side of the boobs is a good sign! GL, and keep us posted!
