Welcome 3'sacharm and Burakoam.

I have registeted as a model for an ultrasound school near me, I have been asked to go in for a scan tomorrow, so excited to just be able to see my little bean, too early for gender clues only 8 weeks but should be able to see movement 😀

Hello! I read this site often when pregnant with DD4&5. I was planning to sway for a boy after DD4, but DD5 surprised us. We tried swaying again this year, but I had 3 miscarriages and we moved to just trying to get a sticky baby. I'm due April 1st and already starting to worry about gender. It's not only that I want a son, though I do. It's everyone's comments about having so many DD's.

Hi GMarie! Welcome! I know what you mean about gender concern. I'm concerned what people will say if I'm having another boy. DH thinks it's going to be a girl finally but I am convinced that I can only make boys. I'm concerned about his gender disappointment right now more than mine. I am preparing myself to hear boy again but he isn't. We barely swayed, so I am putting all of my eggs in the boy basket. Hopefully we'll both get the gender we want and it won't be an issue.

I'm also saying hello, got my vfeint BFP Friday, then retested yesterday and line was a lot darker. Think I'm due april 1st. I swayed boy, this was our 4th cycle and I have aready had one sway where I got an opposite. Although I have to be honest last time was a bit half arsed and mainly based on timing. This time its mainly based on diet and nutrition/supps. Worried what people will say as are in worst position we have ever been in. Just because I haven't gone back to work after dd3 (was not worth it as childcare cost was extortionate) and we have no family support but I can bet you then will have pleanty to say still!! So no maternity pay for me! I am trying to prepare for peoples comments period, but these will only be worse if we end up with a 4th daughter especially as I wasent exactly quiet about my disappointment last time. This really is our last attempt, part of me wishes we had waited and gone HT but due to early menopause in my family (around 35/37) we didn't want to risk waiting to save up enough money and fertility declining in the meantime. And with me not working saving is difficult at the moment! You just don't know what around the corner.

Not sure if we will do the harmony test as we really should be watching pennies but we will see how we feel closer to the time. Not many other options in uk sadly and a little wary of tellmepinkorblue etc just because of the postage timing etc from uk it might not be worth it as will almost be time for early sex scan! I really can teven think about this being a girl at the moment, I just want to enjoy the next 12 weeks in my bubble again, just like last time!

great to see you all and looking forward to getting to know you all xxx

Congrats baby2016bay!! I haven't been quite about my gender disappointment either. I could just smack myself! I don't know why I was so vocal about trying for a girl!! I'm really regretting it now. I just know everyone will say, "I told you so" when I have to announce it's another boy. I'm planning on getting the MaterniT21 test. I think I may be able to convince my RE to do it for me and have my insurance cover it since he knows I've had recurrent miscarriages and that's one of the requirements to getting it done through insurance. FX it's covered! I would pay for it though. I really want the reassurance that baby doesn't have any chromosomal abnormalities.

Happy and Healthy 9 months!

thanks momamia. I know, hindsight! I think I was so vocal as I expected her to be our last baby so I never imagined id be here again. Its weird in the UK as gender selection and PGD is illegal so a lot of the channels are also heavily monitored. The blood tests are very expensive and are not covered under our public healthcare and they hoik the private price right up. I think the harmony is about $650 dollars over here and I cant help but think that could be used for a pram etc. I have had 3 miscarriages but sadly that still doesn't open any early tests for me, only thing they will do is extra monitoring and scans etc. The only option I have is to use one of the blood tests in USA that ship here. I don't know if this time round I might wait till I'm in theatre (planned section) as I'm not sure what is worse, having months to accept it or seconds as if I'm there presented with this baby I will have no chance to be disappointed or stew on it. I suppose theres an argument for either choice.

I hope your blood test gives you some reassurance. And praying we all get our dream genders. With this including march too some people may only be weeks from finding out if they are having blood test at 10weeks! gosh xxxx

[momamia4]

I know! It's crazy that there's such a difference in weeks between everyone in here! I wish I was 8 weeks. That would make me feel more confident about this pregnancy. I have noticed though that I'm not having as much anxiety in this pregnancy as my last pregnancy/miscarriage. I was a hot mess right from the start with that one! That gives me some sort of reassurance for some reason. I think I'm just spending so much time focusing on being positive that it's preventing me from freaking out too much.

I could never wait until delivery to find out. I have zero patience, lol! I want to know right from conception. HAHAHAHA!! I think MaterniT21 will give you the test at a much cheaper price if you call them and tell them you don't have insurance coverage for it. I think that's the one people said they could get for only $200 or something like that, instead of the $650. It might have been Panorama though. You could check into that. It might be a better option.

First appointment is August 3rd and I will get to see what's going on 'in there' hoping for a heart beat but I feel like it is way too early even next week for that. We will see
