*September Sapphires/October Opals 2023*

So scan went well! :happydance:
Ladies. Please tell me what you think as I’m confused. I thought I’m due 8th September according to all apps etc. last period was Dec 2nd. My doctors date is 12.09. How can this be? Has he done a mistake or am I missing something? :angelnot:
Glad it went well. Dates don't always line up exactly with lmp. You could've ovulated later. Im
Presuming they will have measured crown to rump to calculate your dates. Mine will probably change by a few days either way on Thursday.

This is the date he has given me from day 1. So that’s by his calculations from lmp. Plus, it’s with IVF so I know exactly the dates. Seems odd. I did ask when I first saw him and he said don’t worry for ease if kind I’ll do it my lmp and we’ll reassess along the way. It’s confused me :wacko:
 
Oh of course I forgot! Yes that is strange then. Did they do any calculations from measurements at your scan yesterday?

Yes. I’m always a few days ahead, almost a week, which would make sense if my due date was 8th of Sep :coolio:
 
Hi ladies. Still here just trying to process things. For whatever reason my first tri screening came back positive for Down syndrome. I have to wait for an appt with a genetic specialist now and go from there. I’m not sure what to feel right now or if what I do feel is wrong :nope:

Oh no! Don’t feel guilty about your feelings - just let them be. You need to process things and it takes time. Did they give you a percentage or is it final? Big big hug to you :hugs:
 
Thanks hun. I’m going through a bit atm so I was really taken back by this. My number is 1:151 and somehow it said my risk is that of a 38 year old… I’m 33 so I’m just shocked at all of this in general. Trying to stay level headed as the chance is higher but it’s not definitive yet. Deep breaths
 
Oh hunny. It’s not nice to hear that your risk is that of someone of a higher age but 1:151 is still a number that gives you very good chances that all will be ok. I’m sure they’ll do more testing to confirm all is well. I know it’s easier that done but try and focus on the 150 and not the 1. I’m sure all will be fine. We are here whenever you need someone to talk to. It must be so upsetting.

I’m sorry your results weren’t as expected and hopefully the next appointment brings better news.

I had my scan today dating me at 13+3 so due the 4th now. I was hoping to get a good nub pic but I’m not sure on this one. Any guesses?

I thought boy too but I’ve sent the pic to two nub prediction specialists and both have said no nub pictured

Pretty strange as I'm sure I'm seeing it I use to be a mod on one of the nub and ramzi predictions pages on fb, but iam sure I'm seeing nub I can see why they said no nub showing as the leg is in way but by the way partial nub is I see a rise:shrug: I could be wrong lol xx

Tbh I thought boy when I caught a few glimpses on screen but then also saw what looked like a girl nub. Most Facebook groups have said boy lean.
 
Awww look I love a good scan picture! I’m no expert but I’m saying boy!

I hope everyone is doing ok? Xxx
@xZoeyx are you ok? Xxx

I don’t really come in the due date groups much anymore.
but I saw you got a high risk result .

I just wanted to say with my son.
I got a high risk for Down syndrome results.
1in33 chance so really high
I didn’t have any of the invasive tests done as they had a 1% miscarriage risk which I know doesn’t seem much.
But I had 4 losses in 2020 and now 3 losses this past year of ttc and apparently recurring miscarriages happens to only 1% of people.
So I’m that 1%. So there was no way I was taking that risk.
Esp as I was 18 weeks when I would of had it done.
So I spent my whole pregnancy worrying.
I was 41 tho and was told it may be just down to age.
We did have a lady in our October 2021 due date group who was only in her early 30s and she had a 1in1 risk.
Then she had the Harmony test done and it came back 1in10 thousand.
I want to add my son was born completely Healthy.

Sorry to just jump on here, but I know how worried I was and I know exactly how your feeling.
I just had to reach out.
Praying all will be perfect hon.
 
@Suggerhoney thank you so much love. Yes worried is an understatement right now. I’m offered one more non invasive test that’s just bloods and if that’s positive again then I’ll be offered CVS. I’m still in disbelief, my scan was perfect. Nuchal translucency was perfect, nasal bone seen and nothing noted that would cause concern. It was in my bloods. It’s just a lot to process as I’m on my own again. You give me a lot of hope that everything will be ok and I need to keep the faith that it was a false positive. Hope you’re doing ok and I’m sending boat loads of dust your way for this upcoming cycle :hugs:

it’s just horrible news to receive.
My scan was perfect too. I had scans at 6+1 due to bleeding and saw a HB.
Then they got me back in at 8+1 just because of the bleeding at 6 weeks and wanting to make sure things were still progressing. That scan was perfect.
Had a private scan at 10+3 only because I lost my first baby at 10+4 weeks.
Then finally I get to my 12 week scan.
I was out forward to 12+6 weeks and all was perfect. Neutral fold nasal bone everything.
Then I finally start to relax and I get that dreaded phone call.
When they said it was 1in33 my heart absolutely sunk.
I had another scan at 14 weeks and a gender scan at 16 weeks and again showed a healthy baby.
I was then told I had to wait for the 20 week scan which is where they check everything. I was told that some markers may show on that.
That was agonising wait. But again all was perfect.
Heart kidneys everything. No markers where found.
I was told that not all downs markers show on a scan so then I had to spend the rest of my pregnancy worrying.
Basically the whole 2nd trimester and part of the 3rd trimester, the time your supposed to be glowing and excited, I spent it all crying and scared.
I booked a 4d scan at 32 weeks and that made me feel so much better.
But I still wouldn’t know for sure until birth.
When he was born they had to do loads it checks. And other than losing a lot of weight. He was 7lb 3oz at birth but dropped to 6lb 5oz, but other than that he was completely healthy.
So I’m my case it was a false positive.
And that lady in my old due date group, hers was a false positive.

I did go for other bloods, I went for the Harmony test but my results kept coming back inconclusive. Went back to have bloods done agian at 16 weeks and again 2 weeks later inconclusive blood results.
So that was 4 whole weeks of waiting for results.
Yours will be fine tho hon.
Mine came came back inconclusive because I’ve had a transplant.
I know if I do fall with my rainbow I will probably get a very high risk result again.
But I’m going to try and enjoy every second of that pregnancy because it will be my last.
Those stinking results ruined my last pregnancy and the pregnancy b4 was ruined because I had ICP. So I just want my last pregnancy to be enjoyable.

it’s just horrible because I was so worried and pregnancy goes so so fast. It’s blink and you only have a few weeks left:
By the time I finally started to relax I was 32 weeks and right near the end.
I felt cheated.

feel free to pm me hon. I know waiting for those results is torture.
Here if you need me ok <3
 
And thanks for the baby dust hon. Definitely needed. Need extra sticky baby dust.
Praying the next one will stick and be my take home healthy babe.
Just waiting for AF now. It sucks.
But it is what it is.
Hopefully it will be my turn soon[-o&lt;
