Oh god Squeena what a horrible ordeal! Just read the full story on the other thread, hope you are going to be OK now? Will they try you on different meds?

Got my scan at 1pm, going to ask what side the placenta is on, seems there is a very high correlation between this and gender! Google it, it's mad!

 

[tjw]

Oh Sequeena, that's awful!! xx

Good luck ladies for your scans today xx

 

[tjw]

Jenn, Welcome to the group, have added your details to first post xx

 

[abs07]

Welcome Jenn!!

 

[sequeena]

Hi girls

I don't know what's going to happen next, I don't want anymore tablets to be honest xx

 

[sunshinegirl]

TJW and sequeena what a hard time you both have had. I have been on the other side my husband has been suffering from depression since last year he is also taking steraline at the moment. He has been much better since he started taking them.

I went to the doctors this morning thought I had water infection. Had the sympton of bursting for a pee but not being able to go. Sample test negative. Still have funny sensation around bladder area!! maybe it the baby wiggling lol. Anybody else had this?

Oh and had blood test result back from Nuchal scan as well yesterday. Blood negative. I have 1 in 100000 chance.

 

[Mark&Annie]

My scan went fine, baby is wiggling away in there

The placenta is to the right and anterior, and I think I spied the nub, which looked like it pointed up! Could be a little brother on the way for my little man!

Wow really clear pics. Have they kept your dates? Cant believe the difference between mine at 12weeks and yours at 13weeks. Cant wait for my nx scan on Monday I will be 14 weeks. I love having scans every 3 weeks.

 

[Mark&Annie]

Yup, dates exact I was using a chart to track my ovulation, so was pretty sure when baby came to be!
It was great, really clear, saw it's hands and feet moving, saw it swallow!

Fantastic pics hon and congrats, I will update first post shortly xx

Found this interesting study regarding placental positioning and gender:


The Relationship Between Placental Location and Fetal Gender (Ramzi’s Method):

Can Placental / Chorionic villi Location be used as Indicator for Fetal Gender at Six Weeks Gestation using 2-D and Color Flow Sonography?


ORIGINAL RESEARCH

By
Dr. SAAD RAMZI ISMAIL

Ultrasound Supervisor / Instructor


NWHC-High Level Hospital-Alberta
Pobox-1462, High Level, Alberta, T0H1Z0

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between placental /chorionic villi laterality and fetal genders early in pregnancy using 2-D ultrasonography and color flow Doppler.
Material and Method


This is a multi-center prospective cohort study of 5376 pregnant women that underwent ultrasonography from 1997 to 2007. Trans-vaginal sonograms were performed in 22% of the patients at 6 weeks gestation, and Trans-abdominal sonograms were used at 18-20 weeks gestation, at this time the fetal gender were confirmed in 98-99%. The fetal sex was confirmed 100% after delivery. The study also addressed the bicornuate uteri with single pregnancy in relation to placenta / chorionic villi location. The result was tabulated according to gender and placenta / chorionic villi location. Bicornuate uteri with single fetus in different horns were studied and tabulated


Result

Dramatic differences were detected in chorionic villi / placental location according to gender. 97.2% of the male fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location on the right side of the uterus whereas, 2.4% had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus. On the other hand 97.5% of female fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus whereas, 2.7% had their chorionic villi/placenta location to the right side of the uterus.127 cases were found to involve bicornuate uteri with single foetuses, most male fetuses were located in the right horn of the uterus and showed right placental laterality (70%). Most female fetuses 59% on the other hand, were located in the left horn and showed left laterality (59%).Moreover, most of the males located in the left horn exhibited right laterality (89%). Also most females located in right horn exhibited left laterality (976.4%). In addition this research indicated that there was a possible link between renal pyelectasis and placental location, and it might be used as a genetic soft marker.


Conclusion

Ramzi’s method is using placenta /chorionic villi location as a marker for fetal gender detection at 6 weeks gestation was found to be highly reliable. This method correctly predicts the fetus gender in 97.2% of males and 97.5% of females early in the first trimester.

Yes! That's what I read too, a few people have had threads and found a high corolation, really bizarre I have just heard of this and it seems much more acurate than the nub theory!

 

[TTCNumbertwo]

Great pics Mark&Annie, they're so clear! How can you tell where the placenta is??? I really don't even know where to look!

 

[Mark&Annie]

You have to ask the sonographer, as it depends what angle the pic is taken, has to be exactly across (transverse) to get a true representation of the placental position

Annie - Your scan pics are fab!!

Had my scan today, everything was fine with baby! They put my date back one day to 2nd August Not sure why but feel a bit sad they have put me back, and its only by one day!! hehe think im going mad!!
Baby was moving around so much it actually took about 40 mins for the sonographer to get any measurments. Also she couldn't get the Nuchal Fold measurement at all so I have got to have a blood test at 14 weeks now. Also couldn't get a good pic!!
Never mind at least all was well! My next scan is booked for 25th March, will be 21 weeks then.

Hope everyone is ok today xx

 

[tjw]

Mark&Annie, it's not letting me add your pics hon, have you got them online anywhere so I can link the image via url please hon? xx

 

[tjw]

Mummy~L sorry to hear your scan did not go as you'd hoped. With Ruby I didn't get a good picture either as she too was a real wriggler!! Less space for them to move at 20wks though, so hopfully you'll get a fantastic picture then to make up for it unfortunately for me, Ruby was jiggling in that one too and it looked like she had 2 noses 2 moths and 2 chins!! lol xx

Thanks!
Glad all is well and you've got a little wiggler! I had to have blood test instead with Joshua, I was too far on for NT scan. Got it this time, but they do the blood test too now apparently so still got stabbed!
Wouldn't worry bout one day difference, number two will probs be early anyway!

This should work for pics:

helloo, is this the new august thread i guess? I was on the previous one about a month ago and checked back here and there but it was so quiet. I got my BFP Dec 13th and my due date is August 25th.. think i saw that someone else on here has the same due date! Mine was confirmed with a 7+6 week scan a couple weeks ago, but not much to see on any pictures so I wont bother posting them.
