I agree that the decision is very personal I think it is only the one using an ultra sound so not invasive though I would stay away from anything that increases risk of mc.
Congrats kisses did you get a pic?

I am having the testing done, I had it done with my last pregnancy and it only included a ultrasound and a blood test, getting the same thing this time. With my last one they were able to tell me that I was having a boy at 12 weeks because it was such a sensitive ultrasound and the doctor was a specialist.
 
FBP - Congrats
MrsMoo - I am so sorry dear. It must hurt so much to have come so far only to learn this. My thoughts and prayers are for your quick recovery. I wish life were more fair than this. :hugs:

Got my tests done on Tuesday and I go back Friday for more. All the prego women in the waiting room kept telling me thier horror stories of labor for over an hour. really. Can you say "freak out"? They need more blood to test for toxoplasmosis. Apparently you have to request it. (I thought it was standard) I have birds so I need to know if they are safe. What scared me is that I had to explain what it was to the girl on the phone. You would think the reception people would have picked up a thing or two working in the industry.
I get to find out if my progesterone and hcg levels are good when I return. (crossing fingers)

Oo do they do that in the uk? That would be great to know. I'm very surprised they could tell so early.
 
I am gonna weigh in on amnio testing.... I in the 35+ club so they are trying to push it on me. DH and I already said no since we r gonna love our baby the same no matter what.
Only a life threatening situation would make me change my mind though.
 
DHime I feel the same. I would only consider terminating if baby had a condition that meant they would be in extreme pain, or suffer, however long/short their life. And even then, I'd have to be certain, because doctors can be wrong. I just really hope I am never forced to make that decision xxx
 
Hey guys, I went for my first u/s today, she said I was actually 8 weeks. She said the baby had a heartbeat but she didn't tell me how fast it was or anything. She was pretty rushed because she was in the middle of 4 deliveries I think. I feel a lot better, but now I am concerned about the HB lol. Can you tell by the u/s picture, does it have it written in the sides of the picture or something? Also pic wasn't very clear but whatever!

Apparently not every sonographer will tell you the HB. If they'd been concerned I'm sure they'd have mentioned it x
 
Me and OH have pretty much decided not to have the NT testing, we both said we'd rather not know as we'll love our baby how ever he/she turns out. It is a very personal decision though.

WSS ^^ apparently trained sonographers can tell by sight if a fetal hb is normal, and it's common for them not to tell you or even check the rate. xx
