Can't admit to anyone else...

Yes Jessica I know, they routinely do a 'potty shot' and confirm gender at 12/13 weeks in some countries - that's why I'm convinced it must be boy bits, from comparing some of those.
Your attachments won't load

It's 12 days until my next scan and it seems so far. Everything is running through my head like 'what if they still can't tell?'
I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow to review how I am physically (discuss if I'm fit to work yet etc), so I think I might mention it to her - if there's time after all the physical stuff is out the way!

One worked and the other didn't, so i tried again then the first didn't work, don't know why b&b hates me so much!! i will post them separately!

Isobel xxxx

To me, your scan favours Isobel's scan xxxxx I am not seeing boy nub at all xxx

 

[_Meep_]

Andrew's nub has a serious angle going on!! I agree Isobel's is more similar.

Mine does look like all the girl nubs I've been looking at.
I kinda just wish she hadn't even looked between the legs..!

It sounds to me like she was just saying whatever i really do think your scan looks girl ish, and i honestly would say if it looked boyish i really would!!

Oh gosh Danny, is everything OK now..? Is your temperature under control, did they find a cause for it..?
Excellent news about the scan though, are you believing it a bit more now...?

I am really beginning to believe that the nub is girly BUT it's just what I saw between the legs that's making me doubt and think it's a boy. The very first time she looked between the legs I swear I saw 3 lines and got all excited, then she said 'yes but it all depends on angle', repositioned the probe and lo and behold, there was only two lines and something sticking out..!
Even she said it looks more like developing boy-bits than swollen girl bits, as it was quite 'tubular' and prominent. I asked if there would be a scrotum there too if it was a boy (as I couldn't see one), and she said no not yet...
If I hadn't seen that I'd be starting to believe it might be a girl, now I just keep telling myself it can't be (despite the Nub) because it looked so penis-like..!
Were you measuring exactly 13 weeks at your scan..? Yours was so different and flat, and I was only 1 day behind when you had yours

I'll upload the two pics but they're a very strange angle...!

Thanks for the well wishes I am feeling much better now and yes I guess I am starting to let myself get a little excited and more confident about a DD.

I was exactly 13 weeks 1 day at my scan and remember the lady who did my scan specialists in ONLY 13 and 20 week anatomy scans so the equipment at the fetal assessment center is incredibly high tech and top of the range. But I know what it's like when you are comparing and just want to see something look exactly the same xxx

 

[Dannypop]

Those recent shots with the little leg up does make it look like a protrusion but it is quite a blurred shot so difficult to see clearly. I know how you must feel seeing that bulge but I've only ever seen a bulge like that on a potty shot and so the sideways view is confusing.

And I know 12 days feels like impossible ages away but soon it will be upon you and then you will know. We will be counting down the days with you

 

[_Meep_]

I don't find out until January 10th! Hopefully the 12 days will fly by.

I've been signed off work for another MONTH...! I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's only been a week at a time so far (for the last 3 weeks), so a month seems like slight overkill in comparison..?!
I'm also terrified of phoning work and telling them as it means I'll be off over Xmas and New Year, which will NOT go down well (with management, or other staff who will still have to work it). I also feel this means I can't really 'announce' my pregnancy on social media after my private scan as I had intended, because people will get crabby about me being off work sick over Xmas etc and yet still managing to go to a private scan (yes some people at my work are really like that..!).

I didn't mention the gender anxiety to the doctor. I was in there for quite some time and just felt like I'd sat and moaned like a baby about how awful I feel for 20 minutes, so I then felt silly and embarrassed/ashamed to bring that up too... I'm terrible.. :-/

Don't even concern yourself with people at work, they are not your friends they are colleagues and that is all, you have to do what is right for you and your family, to hell with anyone else!

I am glad they sighed you off for a month, you seem excused! Physically and mentally.

Big hugs I hope you manage to get some rest

Memma, big hugs to you. Take this time off of work to relax and try your best to hang in there. I know how tough this wait is.

My 12 week scan is today (in 5 hours). I'm going to try my best to gather the courage to ask for a nub shot. Wish me luck

 

[MemmaJ]

She was very kind and said I might struggle to get an appointment over Xmas/new year, if she only gives me a week or two and then I need more time it might be difficult.
She's based it on the ongoing nausea (which she's given me stronger tablets for), the daily pain (which she's given me Codeine for but I very much doubt I'll take that!), and just general exhaustion as a result of being poorly, which puts me at risk of making potentiallly dangerous mistakes at work...
I was quite surprised that my BP was 92/46 today too, it's normally low (it sits around 100/60), but not that low.. explains the dizziness anyway, haha!

Oh wow I didn't realise it was today SIL! How exciting! Definitely ask - you never know!

So sorry if some are sideways, but these are the photos I got from today. I did ask about gender/nubs but it was after she took all the photos and she said "you can't tell at this gestation it's 50/50". She was nice about it but I wish she showed me the area better. I keep staring at the area in the 3d ones. The first one looks very boyish to me, but the second looks maybe more girly? I don't know. Gender private scan booked Jan 13.

Sil I'd guess girl x

Thank you wish. I hope so! Time is dragging until that 16 week scan.

 

[Jessicahide]

I am swaying girl.

 

[MemmaJ]

I was thinking girl too..! Those pictures are amazing, how lovely
