Thank you!!
I'm pretty sure we're going Team Green! I feel it's mostly a girl and will just convince myself of that for the next 32 weeks and maybe (probably not!) will be pleasantly surprised at delivery haha. I just don't want it confirmed girl and to deal with the depression I did with DD

[Throwaway_panther]

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! DH just looked at the test and goes "Yea the test line is actually darker than the control". I know I shouldn't let my mind go to something like a molar as those are so rare but it's hard after the past year to think things are actually going right!! Funny thing is with my 3 m/c's I was so stressed out that my tests were not darkening enough or fast enough (and with the 1st and 2nd m/cs, that really was a bad sign as my hormones weren't doing what they should), and now that it's darkening SO fast I'm freaking out just the same LOL!!! I'm trying to remind myself that b/c I got a BFP at 8 dpo, the bean must have implanted very early and thus that's likely why it's so dark already.

I will ask them on Tuesday when I go in for blood work when I can do the first scan and will tell them that I'm anxious and would like to do one as soon as I can. Unfortunately I will only be 4 weeks on Tuesday so even if I had one at 5 1/2 weeks that feels like a long time away!

TP - I sooooooooo hope this is your boy (and still think you have a great shot at it being so!) but you are right that no matter what if you're DD is wanting a baby this much then she will LOVE having a sibling - boy or girl!! As bad as I have had GD over the last couple of years (and I had a lot of it with DS2), it really has been the coolest thing watching my boys together. I honestly feel like DS1 was so meant to have a little brother and I feel like they really will be lifelong buddies. They are very different, and they fight all the time now (almost always over toys!), but they are just so, so cute together. IF your baby is girl I know your DD will love having a sister and it will be really fun to watch them together (and they'll fight too LOL!).

BUT doesn't matter because you're going to have a boy!!!

I'm hoping this is a case where everyone else around me is right, haha -- one of my bffs is convinced it's a boy, and DH thinks so too (and guessed DD was a girl at BFP correctly). But yes, as much as I want a boy, I don't want DD to grow up alone, and it was getting scary looking like that might happen with all our losses!

And I want you to know: i UNDERSTAND why your mind went there with the tests. Within 24 hours of my great beta at 15DPO, I had convinced myself it wasn't good enough and things were going to go south. You and I seriously sound so similar in how our anxieties work lol

I understand that tp! I didn’t know how pbn did it, but she really was pleasantly surprised once Mara was here!!

Oh yea pregnancy anxiety has really become my worst enemy!!! It sucks!!!!

[hannahptrussell]

Yay!!! I think we’re going team green!!! My husband and I talked about it and think it will be a blast to not tell anyone what we have until a “come & see party!” With this being number 5, I’m thinking this will add that fun level of suspense for friends and family. And I’ve always wanted a beautiful cream & white neutral nursery [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Lol mommy2apples! I found it really easy once I made the solid decision to stay team green after the 12w scan. Didn't even feel tempted for the rest of the pregnancy and was able to really enjoy that last bub growing over 9 months. Made d-day so exciting not just for us but family too!

Abc I posted in the 2ww thread but again thinking of you as you approach your betas draw and have only positive thoughts [emoji173]

Hannah that sounds like a lot of fun! I'd totally do it!

Tp I'm hoping and sending so many blue dust thoughts your way [emoji170] how long until nipt blood draw?

This helps me feel better to hear too -- I have felt an immense lift of anxiety by deciding to go Team green and just... produce another living baby. Anytime I stress, I focus on the things to trick myself into keeping his pregnancy no matter what lol: 1. DD is obsessed with babies. Absolutely obsessed. She needs this baby. 2. This is the absolute tail end of the age gap range I wanted with DD. 3. This is my last possible baby in my 20s!

NIPT could be in a week and a half or so since I'm almost 9 weeks. Midwives said they would try and bill it for RPL and hopefully it would get covered -- i think they use Materniti 21. I'm just hoping my 9w1d scan this Friday goes well. I have been so anxious the last few days about this pregnancy.

[Pbn3]

Will be eagerly awaiting your update Friday TP! Strange how the first trimester crawls and takes forever yet after that, in the blink of an eye, you're at 38 weeks [emoji849]

Well my pregnancy tests have not darkened much the past couple of days so I'm convinced something is wrong again. I know - it's stupid and paranoid. I do really hate that I worry so much - especially over lines on a freaking pregnancy test!

TP - Interesting, do you know if insurance companies will cover NIPT because of RPL? I've been thinking that I'd like to do it to at least know that baby is healthy (whether I would want to find out gender from it or not, I don't know). I haven't looked into it much or checked my insurance yet. I was thinking my doc might recommend it anyways given this past year of miscarriages and that I'll be 35 by time baby would be born.

But I shouldn't even be thinking that far ahead yet as I'm too worried about everything being ok right now!!!

Sounds like there may be a lot of Team Greens on this board!!! Fun!!!

Ahhhh stop testing!! Those lines can only get so dark :P

Our office wasn't sure and gave me the code to call insurance to see since in their experience it cam get covered "for 35 or those otherwise at risk," which they and me arguably thought would be RPL. I just haven't called insurance yet because I wanted to get to this week's scan. Every step of this pregnancy makes me feel like I'm jinxing it! DH has started telling DD to be "careful around your little brother or sister" and talked about cribs and I wanted to scream! I'm so scared to think past anything until we're at least at 12 weeks, you know? Which is a real flip from previous pregnancies where I'd talk names or plans and DH would tell me not to get attached. Maybe my intuition really is shoddy...
