Eleena you should have done what I do...lie! Tell them you have messed up cycles and have zero clues about when you conceived...then youd get a dating scan! I am a terrible person...haha!!

Sea, 4 days is not that far off, these early dating scans can be very different with just the smallest change in measurement, and that measurement relies on a cooperative uterus and skilled technician. What one person measures as 4 days off might be only 1 day off with another person holding the wand.

Eleena, I didn't have nausea until after 6 weeks, and then it was very mild and just progressively got worse over the last week.

Seabee- I wouldn't worry about 4 days. My baby was measuring a week ahead at my scan at 5 week 6 days. There is NO way I ovulated a full week before! Babies develop at different rates.

Thanks for easing my mind. The spotting put me in a worried state with this pregnancy. I just can't wait to see/hear a heartbeat

Hi everyone.. I thought I should come over to this group but I'm still a bit nervous about it as I will only be 4wks tomorrow. So far everything has been going fine but its always hard not to worry!

I have an appointment booked with my Dr already as I was supposed to be going back to get my day 3 blood and ultrasound results to see if there was any reason for my long cycles and mid-cycle spotting. I was also hoping to get a referral to a specialist but looks like I didn't need that! Instead I will see if I can get a referral for a pregnancy ultrasound, I think I would feel better once I have a 7wk scan and see a heartbeat.

Is anyone getting a prenatal blood test? I looked at the Harmony one and even though the price has gone down it is still a lot of money so I'm not sure I can justify it. Although I don't want to tell anyone I'm pregnant until I know the gender so it might be difficult to keep it secret long enough to find out from a scan.

Welcome Purple! I know what you mean wanting to see a heartbeat! At my dating scan, I was 5 weeks 6 days, we saw the heartbeat 137 BPM!! It was a big relief! Then at my routine appointment when I was 8 weeks 5 days, my OB brought in his portable US machine and baby looked like a baby and was doing great! I can't wait to hear about your upcoming appointment. Hang in there though!!

DH wants to do the MaterniT21, since it is offered at a cheaper rate at my hospital. If insurance doesn't pick up the cost, it will be $200. I just can't justify the cost though, since we only did the two scans, NT and anatomy, with both boys. I go back and forth. My NT scan will be at 13 weeks 5 days so we should have a good idea of gender. We will see!!

It's $430 here for the Harmony test and none if it is covered by medicare or insurance (not that we have private health anyway). I found a place that does gender scans at 16wks for $99 or if I wait until 20-21wks the morph scan is free. I already know I can't wait that long! I'm not sure I want an NT scan as I will obsess over the nub and last time I was told it looked girly so I just got my hopes up.

Mine have NEVER looked girly so I will fall out if I see anything flat and parallel!

The biggest difference with this pregnancy and my pregnancies with my boys is my lack of a raging appetite. Even with MS I was still hungry with them. I can maintain a 12 hour fast easily between dinner and breakfast still at 11 weeks! We will see though. This baby is loved either way!

Are you in Australia Purple? I had the Genea test done on Monday and the results are already back EXCEPT my Dr was not in his office so we'll have to wait till Monday before we find out. It cost $435, no cover from Medicare or private health insurance. Last pregnancy though I paid over $300 for the NT scan which didn't tell me gender. I'm happy to shell out the money for peace of mind regarding health and will be great to find out gender early too.

Dana-so sorry

Purple-welcome! fX for a happy and healthy 9 months

AFM-told my OB yesterday(who I work for) she was 100% skeptical of all the swaying and the last I "talked" to her we we were going high tech. So, we drew all the major bloodwork but will wait on appointment until I'm released from the RE. Next ultrasound us Tuesday and will be 8w1d. Spoke with our rep for Verifi. She said I can have it drawn at 10 weeks and will take 7 business days. Shouldn't have to pay more then $25. Really excited as we will find out right before disney.
