Freaking out here over a stark negative frer today (and another stark negative with diluted pee).
I've not had a scan yet (was waiting til 12 weeks) but I'm going in first thing Monday morning.

Stark negative makes zero sense though...
I've not had any bloodwork, but 3+ on a digi 4 weeks ago implies hcg was above 2000, and hcg shouldn't be zero with anything still retained...
 
Oh honey ... Definitely go in on Monday ... You need to know what's going on. But even if it's not what you want plz know that it'll happen soon. I was told to wait three cycles if waited two as my intuition was telling to go for it. I have hopefully a rainbow now after two losses in a row. I waited only one cycle before those. I want to hug you ... If it isn't great. Get your minerals tested. I did and found out I was severely deficient in magnesium which means I have to transdermally apply magnesium oil twice a day and now everything is good. Oh I don't know what to say.

Xxxx
 
Have you heard of the hook effect? I wonder if that's happened to you? FX everything is ok xx

Thank you for all your kind words, I had a private scan this week, just to make sure our surviving baby is ok :) He is, and he was dancing around! I think even the sonographer was shocked to see such an active little one. Hehe. Must have been the ribena I drank beforehand.

Has anyone got a hunch on what they're having, gender-wise? I have such a feeling that we're having a boy! I did some of those gender tests for fun & both came up boy too. Hehe.

I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant with my second! And baby was 3y/o already! My dreams have been crazy! I'm sleeping terribly atm. And the MS isn't helping either, I'm shattered. It'll all be totally worth it though! :D
 
NDH - could be the Hook-Effect chick... Basically pregnancy tests are only designed to pick up pregnancy with lowish amount of HCG, once your HCG hits a high (12weeks i believe is the highest it goes, then it starts to normalise/comes down) Its then too high for a pregnancy test to pick it up as its not designed too :)

Google it, its a well known thing, i dare say there is some post on BNB about it x
 
Charmed - I'm pretty certain its a Girl!!! :haha: I'm so emotional (I'm NEVER an emotional person), i have spots, my hair is MEH, my skin is MEH, I've felt ill, 24/7 nausea for weeks and generally feel and look pretty awful haha

with my boys, i felt FAB!!! :)

Dark-star - i felt the early popping sensation early on... and the last couple of days I've felt more movement :) eekk its the best part :)
 
I'm getting girl feelings but who knows lol xx I'll post another scan pic on Tuesday then will have gender scan at 16 weeks x

How much did you dilute it by?
In 3 weeks your HCG may have gone up to as high as 200,000 at the top end, making it 100X more concentrated with HCG than your last test. I don't want you to waste more money on tests, but if you have some on hand you may want to try diluting the urine by 50 times to start, 1mL urine to 49mL of water, and go from there.
 
I'm not sure on genders. I have not been sick a single time this pregnancy, but my mother has 3 girls and she was never sick with us.

According to the guesses on the gender forums, twin A might have a boy nub. My mom says 2 girls, my sisters say one of each.
 
NDH, I hope all is fine, and the hook-effect is just getting you!



We told MIL at lunch today. She had sent me a check for my birthday, and I thanked her again for it. I told her Id used the money to get some family portraits done, and that I'd burned some of my favorites onto a CD for her. I then gave her a CD with the video and some of the ultrasound pics on it, and on it I had written "Baby Stephenson, Due 10/3/15!"

At first, she just glanced at it and was like "Awwww, thank you! That's so sweet!" I laughed and was like "You didn't read it, did you?" And she gave me this look that said "No way." Then she read it and started crying and dancing in her seat. :haha:

She said she knew as soon as she saw me, but didn't want to say anything for fear of being wrong. She was also adamant that it's a boy, and referred to Hatchling as "he/him" the whole lunch. :cloud9:
 
That´s lovely GingerPanda, I´m glad that she is so happy for you.

Ours is definitely a boy, not only do we have the Harmony result but we went back for the second scan today and they got various shots of his boy bits including this one.

They changed our dates to 13+1, so due date is now 2nd October.

Yay, that's great! Congrats!


Ladies, do you think the easiest way to sound off on genders would be for me to make a poll where I can see who voted for what? It would only be for those who are CONFIRMED blue, pink, or yellow. And people could just vote when they find out the gender, and I'll periodically look at it and update next to people's names on the front page.

Does that work for everyone?
 
I'm fine with whatever is easiest for you :)

I do think it should be based on input from the user as you suggested, we should only mark confirmed yellows so we can keep track of who's MIA instead of making everyone yellow.
 
I was only going to go based off user input. If someone doesn't vote, they will just not have anything next to their name. :)
 
Done!

If any of our twin ladies are boy/girl, I will just manually put your storks by your name. It will only let you vote once. :)

Thats deffo all BOY!!! :happydance:
 
OMG, my mum has took all 3 kiddiwinks for the night!!!, i can't remember the last time we had a night off...

Were both sat in the house, just looking at each-other thinking now what do we do??? :haha: were not use to it, we never go past the front door when 7pm comes round lol
 
Thanks for the words of hope ladies. :) I did think of the hook effect but I didn't dilute it nearly enough according to Dark Star (1:3 at best) so we'll see what Monday brings as I don't have any more ICs and can't afford to buy new tests to test that theory. Hopefully I manage to get an answer on Monday if I can get a same day scan. There is a walk in clinic that also has a walk in radiology attached so I could possibly get a scan on Monday as well.
 
Fx for good news for you NDH xx

Gp that poll is perfect xx

Babee_Bugs what did you do with the night off??

xx
 
NDH hugs! fingers crossed for you

I took Miss 4 to a birthday party today - had to leave an hr and a half early because I was too sore. Mummy of the year! not...

Then I came home and promptly fell asleep for 3 hrs

Previously I was a fairly active person, always going out and doing things with Miss 4 so this SUCKS
