Lou, mrsmax, and luvy - I am so, so sorry for your losses. Life is really unfair sometimes. I hope you all can find closure and heal quickly. FX you all will be back with a sticky baby soon.

Pink - I think symptoms coming and going is pretty normal. 
I definitely have better and worse days.
Has anyone heard about Harmony prenatal testing? Apparently it's just a simple blood test you can get done and it checks for some important trisomies and the gender of the baby as early as 10 weeks. Some insurances cover it apparently, but worse case scenario it's $130 out of pocket. DH and I are debating about it/leaning towards getting it done. LOL we've put so much science into this baby so far, why stop now?

Krissyb, thanks!! 
I don't think we will do any of that kind of testing unless the NT scan shows something... we are also going to be team yellow so I don't care to know the gender!!

My sister just had Harmony done because of her age (you can opt out of knowing the gender, she did because she's Team Green). I would love to have it done, but I don't think our insurance will pay for it since I'm low risk, and the Women's Health clinic here on post is super hands off unfortunately (I won't even get an ultrasound until 20 weeks!). I looked into doing it out of pocket, but you still have to have a doctor refer it, boooo.
But definitely contact the company and ask what it costs out of pocket. I think they still bill your insurance, and then send you a bill for whatever it doesn't cover. Usually it's a crazy amount, but you just have to call them back and they reduce it down. There are other companies out there as well, so you can shop around (Materniti21, Verifi, etc).
I did find out that the hospital on post now has private rooms as of last month instead of the old double rooms. I was prepared to deal with it to avoid having to pay anything out of pocket for the birth at a civilian hospital (although I still believe that the $300 I paid to have my epidural was worth every penny
), but I'm super stoked to have a private room instead!

Still alive over here, sorry I haven't been very chatty. Had to go to ED last night because I've been really sick and started cramping a bit, and my OB was on call there. Saw a healthy little baby measuring bang on and a healthy heartbeat. Very relieved.
KrissyB I would love that testing done but I'm in Australia, I've looked into it and the cheapest offered here is about $400 out of pocket
Hope everyone is well xx

I'm still a little confused about what my insurance will pay for tests. I have my next appt Tuesday so hope to get some clarity then. He mentioned the cvs test and I'm considering it if it's covered.
