Oh kiku, I'm so sorry for the limbo you're in! A HB is still a huge positive (and no one measured this baby's HBs the first three scans, just checked to see it was there!) and I'm hoping so much for good news for you.

And we seem to keep having our scans at the same time (today was nuchal!). I legitimately said, "Don't let me see nub -- I'll know and don't want to know!" She insisted she didn't even check herself and only gave me shots without it, but these two have me pretty devastated. I showed them to some people who think these aren't nubs so IDK. During the scan, as like last time, I thought I briefly saw both a pointy up and long nub at differing times when I peeked. Clearly my good guessing only applies to everybod else's scans! Measured 12w5d.

On top of everything else, we had some issues with the nasal bone :/ The tech insists she saw it but it's not "bright enough" and they pushed the NIPT, so I guess I'll be doing it afterall. Probably won't request sex though I feel gutted already.

I really really don’t think there’s a nub!

Sorry TP I'm not good enough at nub guessing to know with yours as I can't see a clear nub in those pics. Hoping you get your boy. I know exactly what you mean not wanting to see the nub at the scan, I tried not to look but couldn't help thinking I saw glimpses during my scan yesterday of both girlie and boyish nubs. Fingers crossed we both get out DG but the anxiety over not knowing is hard, but knowing seems worse!

Just left the doctors office. There is a baby with a weak heart beat. It’s measuring six weeks one day. I have a subchorionic hemorrhage which is likely causing the bleeding. I have to go on bed rest. I have to go in for another scan on Monday to ascertain fetal viability. I am so confused.

Omgness kikurose [emoji50] what a rollercoaster [emoji22] will have everything crossed that this has all been a terrible mistake and bub continues to grow h&h [emoji120]

[Pbn3]

Tp there's no nubs in those pics [emoji173]

Kikurose I am hoping and wishing that your little one stays safe & snuggly. Feeling for you & the anxiety you just be going through. Rest up [emoji847]

Hi guys, so I went for my first scan today. It went well. I was so nervous before but baby there measuring 8 weeks (im 8 weeks tomorrow so thats right) with a hb of 162.
Is 8 weeks too late to do Ramzi? The photos I got are not great quality because their printer was broken. She said they'd post me proper ones. I have no idea what I'm looking for.
Still not sure if I want to go team green.
I thought I wouldn't enjoy my pregnancy if I found out that it is a boy but as the weeks go by I feel less invested in that it HAS to be a girl. So maybe a little bit of speculation could be fun..
I'll upload a pic but like I said the quality is pretty bad I can't tell where the bright area is that could be the placenta. Is it the bit that bumps inwards towards the baby or the bit underneath? I'm pretty sure I saw the umbilical cord going towards the left of the pic. (Don't know if that's an indication)
It was abdominal.

Your placenta looks like it's 3/4 the way around like mine! Haha, I am more and more convinced that Ramzi is bunk because of this :P I'm reading lots of cases where the placenta is neither "right" nor "left" really!

And thank you all for talking me down! I'm still anxious about the nasal bone stuff (we were going to tell my mom and sisters this weekend and now I'm not sure if I should!), and also still anxious about the nub stuff. Part of me is thinking, if that IS cord, wouldn't a boy nub be too big to be obscured by a cord? Though at the same time, even 20 week scans have hidden genitals with the cord, right? And I keep remembering my scan -- wondering if the little bit sticking up I thought I saw that wiggled briefly was cord or maybe penis, or if the thin white line I thought I saw was girl nub or maybe cord... sigh.

Baby wasn't moving until prodded (again) and was stubborn in even giving the good nuchal pic! DD never, ever stopped moving. Ever. (Still doesn't... lol). So it throws me everytime I see an unmoving baby on the screen! Weirdly, despite all my emotional turmoil with the maybe nubs and maybe nasal bone issue, when the baby did move, it started to suck its thumb. THAT, weirdly, made me feel this sudden rush of, "It's a boy." Obviously I'm stopping myself from investing anything in that, but it was a weird rush of feeling. Maybe self delusion...

I am seriously unchecking the 'gender' part of the NIPT. Lol. I can't do it!

How is everyone feeling?! My boobs still ache briefly at times but I'm almost fully weaned from prednisone at this point and still feel fine (though I'm breaking out now! I'm hoping it's in reaction to that and not the girls OWT, since I broke out bad with DD... or maybe because I keep sleeping in my drool >_> I never get why acne was the girls OWT too since testosterone is what causes acne lol)

[simkan]

Haha TP I feel your pain in analyzing every image and OWT!
If it makes you feel better if also don't really get acne but got terrible gigantic pimples around my chin and cheeks with both my boys. And was team green with both their pregnancies but obviously I looked. I never saw a thing. Even at a late scan with my second son, i think about 26 weeks. I was looking and saw what I thought were testicals. I was thinking to myself- well there you have it. It's a boy and the technician pointed at what I was looking at and said- there are the kidneys [emoji85] obviously I have no clue. So yeah definitely very likely to be hidden at this stage.
I'm not sure what the rules are where you live but here in New Zealand they are not allowed to tell you the sex before 20 weeks. They can't even say- I think it's a...
So that goes to show how little they can really see at 12 weeks.

So, I'm only three weeks and already the exhaustion and nausea is a lot. I didn't have it this early with my son. Im also already breaking out [emoji26], which I didn't have with my son either. But, I am chasing a toddler around all day and that in it's self is tiring!

Has anyone's intuition about the gender of their babe been right? I wanted a daughter with my son but deep down I knew it was a boy before it was proven to me.

I'm in the U.S. where we have no rules! haha. But omg, thank you, that makes me feel better. I never have good skin normally anyway and of course drop my normal skin routine in pregnancy since a lot of the stuff I'd use is unsafe in the first tri, so no wonder my skin goes bonkers!

And I'm so jealous you're in NZ. I have wanted to visit there for eons. Such a beautiful country!

@Eighme: So mine was right with DD (and I had nausea after conception with her!). I desperately wanted a boy and DH said he felt it was a girl the day after BFP. And I just knew. I even found an old post of mine on a different site when I was 9 weeks pregnant with her freaking out about having a girl -- and clearly I was right! But I know soooo many people who have been wrong too (or had no feeling too). DH thought this one was a boy from BFP, so I hope he's right. He also had the feeling this baby would go all the way as soon as he found out, and admitted he never had feelings on our losses, so hopefully he's more intuitive than me! Though I did have a dream of twin boys before I even conceived my 7th loss... which ended up being twins.
