Oh man I would do team green if I could but I’m not cut out for that :rofl:

I think we’re going to go ahead and do the sneakpeek. I’ve found it helps me to bond with the boys when I have lots of time to pick out their names, buy a few outfits etc. I didn’t have bad GD with my 3rd because I found out so early so I think it would be best for me to find out sooner. Either way I’ll be fine, I love my boys and I have tons of boy clothes I can reuse if it’s a fourth boy lol.

I made a virtual appointment with that Telus My Health app? I’ve never used it before but I didn’t want to arrange someone to watch the kids just so I can get a requisition form. They’re going to call me Tuesday morning, I’d like to book a scan in maybe Thursday/Friday if they can get me in. Then maybe I’ll do the bloodwork next Monday.

Sorry the bleeding is back Babybump :( is it still red? I had so much bleeding with my first it was awful.

I'm staying team yellow next time. We had a lady stay team yellow in our September group and it was so exciting.
Mind u I said u wud stay team yellow with Harley but by 10 weeks was itching to know haha.
But wud love to have a surprise next time if we are blessed with one more.
 
@Sander that makes sense! We were team green/yellow with all of ours and it was so exciting but also drove me crazy sometimes too haha
 
Well, I asked the question, but I forgot to answer it myself. lol
Definitely gonna be finding out. I already have a SneakPeek test, but I'm gonna wait til I'm on the cusp of 2nd tri. I did the test with what would become a MMC, and I did it 6 days after the baby had stopped growing. So, I don't even know if the result (girl) was correct or it was only picking up my X chromosome. Either way, as bad as it sounds, I don't wanna waste the test on a pregnancy that isn't viable.
SO and I are definitely hoping for a girl after 2 boys. With my first, I was so sure it was gonna be a girl, but when the tech said boy, I was like "Oh...ok" and it was pretty obviously a boy. It wasn't til a couple hours later that it really hit me and then I spent 3 hours in bed, crying. Finding out my 2nd viable pregnancy was a boy was less hard. I had already had the MMC, so I was just thankful to have a sticky bean. This time, I'm back and forth between thinking it won't be so bad if it was one last boy and "No, my gender sway was almost perfect. I need a daughter." I guess we'll see next month.

Sammy and Babybump - Keeping my FX that everything eases up and calms down for both of you.

Sander - Probably gonna have to wait next Tuesday for blood work instead, right? Cuz it's a long weekend. lol
 
Prettyinink - Yes I forgot about the holiday haha. I think I will wait until next week just because it’s new that SneakPeek has opened up to 7 week testing and I don’t want to go too early in case it gives a false girl result. If I went Tuesday I would be 7+6. I also want an ultrasound first though for a similar reason, and also to make sure my dates are right.

Wouldn’t it be so awesome if we both got girls? Have you had any gut feelings? I’ve had a strong girl feeling this whole time, but I did with my 2nd son too so I don’t think it means anything :haha:
 
I forgot to mention too something I’ve had this time which I didn’t have with any other baby is vivid dreams. Like I keep dreaming about spiders and I literally get out of bed and have to shake out my blankets etc. Last week I made DH get up at like 3 in the morning and look for the spider in the closet. It’s wild - like it’s not even like I wake up and think of that was a realistic dream - I wake up and still am convinced it’s real.

Why do all my dreams have to be about spiders though?!?!?! :rofl:
 
We are team Blue. Will do a sneakpeek probably right at 7 weeks. I want to wait until after the ultrasound but that's not scheduled until Oct 29 at 8+4.

I'm 5w today. Here are this morning's tests. Anyone else still testing?

Sander - I don't have a gut feeling, just trying to stay positive and hopeful. I have however been looking for signs and coincidences and stuff. Like my dad and SO's dad are both the oldest of boy-boy-girl birth orders. Also, my paternal grandma was born in '33, my aunt was born in '66, I was born in '88. Hoping that '22 will be a girly year. Also, my LMP was on that same aunt's BDay and my BFP was on that same grandma's BDay. And my MIL's BDay is in May as well as Mother's Day. Just a lot of feminine energy floating around.

I am. 16 dpo today. Seems like noon is the best time of day for me to get good lines. This one even had the test line darker than control when it dried. Pic taken @5min mark.

Great line Bloblo! Has anyone had experience using a doppler at home? I haven't with my other kids but wanted to try it this time since there is such a long time until I see the midwife. A friend of mine loaned me her doppler, so I tried it out last night. I think I may have found the baby's heart rate for a short time it was reading around 145 bpm 2 separate times but they didn't stay for more than a half a minute each time. I'm not entirely convinced it was the baby, but part of me just wants to believe it is so that I will feel better. I know it's really early and the baby is so small so it's hit or miss to find the heart beat. I just want to know the baby is ok. I have had some light pink when I wiped a few times over the past week and it has made me nervous. I did figure out it only happens when I carry my 2 year old around too much or if I push her in the stroller too long. I know that I had an ultrasound earlier and baby had a heartbeat, I'm just nervous.

I had those spider dreams when I was pregnant with DD1 ! I literally used to fly out the bed and make DH check the sheets. How strange !
 
ASF - I am still bleeding (day 5) sometimes it’s red others it’s brownish red .

I wish it would just stop, counting down the days until Monday and hoping the bleeding doesn’t get worse.


Tests are looking good @Bloblo & @Dream143r


@crazy4baby09 I have a Doppler only used it with DDs .Sometimes I was picking up my own heart beat , but baby’s is usually faster! I might get mine out again .. if I remember where I put it! Hopefully you can pick babies up again . Oh sorry you’ve had incidents of bleeding the past week, hopefully it’s just doing too much and it will settle down x
 
crazy - I have an at-home doppler and I love it. I bought it when I was pg with my first and it was such a Godsend. Being able to check on the heartbeat daily really put my mind at ease. I know I found the HB really clearly with my first at 11w4d (cuz that's the day the doppler was delivered, lol). I think I found my 2nd's HB at around the same time. I know someone who said she found her 3rd's HB around 8 week cuz the uterus expands and pops up quicker with each pregnancy. So, decent chance you did find the HB. :)
 
Joining you beautiful ladies here! I’m 8 weeks now with baby number two, I’ll be due in May 2022.
Short background story: I am 29 years old mom of a 14 month old baby boy(born August 2020). When we were busy with his 1st birthday celebrations in September, I did not realize that I missed my period. I tested almost after being 10 days late just to be safe and had a surprise!! We weren’t able to believe it, so got a blood work done the same day and it confirmed that we’re pregnant again LOL. We are terrified and excited about having 2 babies at home next year!
 
Welcome and congrats, mridula! :)

Let us know when you have an exact EDD and I'll add you to the first post. :)
 
Bloblo - your lines look awesome!!

BabyBump - that is so crazy that is exactly what I do - like whip out of the bed at 3am because I think there’s a giant wolf spider sitting right on the blanket. This is the third time it’s happened so I’m better at convincing myself it was a dream and going back to bed, but the first time I couldn’t sleep for ages after - I was so convinced it was real! :rofl:

It really sounds like you have a SCH. Sometimes they’re small so you can’t see it on the ultrasound unless the tech is looking for it. Hoping you get some answers and hopefully some peace of mind at your next scan!

Crazy - I have a Doppler too and I love it :haha: You can watch some YouTube videos that will show you how to use it and where to look for baby. The key is not to panic if you don’t hear anything. I picked up my 2nd son at 7 weeks, and when I couldn’t find my 3rd around the same time I was worried (which is ridiculous because it’s very hard to find for the first ~12-16 weeks). Anyways, once you know where to look and baby is big enough to get it consistently it’s a huge relief. I found my 1st and 3rd at 9 weeks so definitely possible you were hearing baby!

Welcome and congrats mridula! That’s awesome to get a surprise bfp. Your kids will be so close, it’ll be great!

AFM, I heard from the midwives today - figures as I finally booked an appointment with my doctor :haha: They said they’d organize my dating scan and bloodwork so I cancelled the doctor’s appointment. She said I should hear from the ultrasound clinic to book my scan sometime later this week. I also found out I’m getting the same midwifery team that I was with for my 2nd, and one of those midwives was also with me for my 3rd. So I’m happy I’ll have familiar faces for our last go round.

Happy to see you join us!! Definitely exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time but I’m sure it’ll be nice having babies so close in age!!
