Thanks ladies for the kind words! SO HAPPY.
Espence - more than anyone i know its easier said than done but if your anxious, if you have no terrible cramping or spotting just keep telling yourself that all is well with your bubba, that's what my midwife advised and it really works!
Cant wait to hear your results, for you!

Hi ladies, so Im new to the group and just wanted to say hi to everyone and congratulations on your pregnancies. So we found out I was pregnant just a week ago. I was traveling and never got my period so as soon as I got home I tested and it came back positive. It was pretty light so I decided to get bloodwork done and we confirmed our positive. After we confirmed the pregnancy I been spotting on and of, so now Im taking progesterone. We did two more blood tests after the spotting started and my numbers are doubling fine, so I feel a little bit of relieve. I have my first ultrasound appointment on Friday when I estime I´ll be 6w2d. I´m really anxious for this pregnancy as we had an MC at 13weeks back in June.

Anyways I send all my good luck to all the ladies in the group, and Im glad to join in since we are keeping this pregnancy a secret and I have no one else to talk to.

Welcome to the group vs!
I hope your week goes fast and Friday brings amazing results!

@vs welcome and Congratulations to you!!

@espence excited for your scan! Make sure your post some pics for us!

Welcome to the group VS, congrats on your BFP.

I think now that i've calmed myself and am far less anxious, my symptoms have come back full force haha
Crazy how the mind and body work!

I still cannot get over how much technology has advanced since we had Colton in December 2015! We got the genetic/gender results back in a VERY timely fashion, a week and one day after I got the blood drawn.

The Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 21 and the Microdeletoins? all were negative. The Cystic Fibrosis and Spinal Muscular Atrophy all cam back negative as well.

The only piece of the test I really do not understand is the fetal fraction. It is 8.2% but I have no idea what that means. It says "Fetal fraction is one component of the algorithm used and is combined with other quality metrics to determine the aneuploidy screening result" but that is gibberish to me.

The test also told us we are having another boy!!!! My husband kind of had an inkling about it but I honestly wasn't sure. I'm definitely having the same kind of symptoms as I did with Colton. My husband was convinced it was a boy because the 6 week heart rates were the same for both (not sure if this really means anything but he thought it did). Pretty excited that we already have all of the clothes, haha.

12 week ultrasound is Monday. After that, I will start announcing it to more people!

Hope all is well girls!

Hey ladies I have been so busy lately with training at work before maternity leave. The owner is getting nervous. Since we have 14 weeks left or if for some reason doctor puts me on leave sooner. Well we got the crib and changing table this weekend. It’s starting to feel more and more real. Exciting!!!

I have been hungry way more and craving have been not strange but more interesting LOL like Mac n cheese with a side of pickles. While eating cucumber salad and baked potato.

I haven’t caught up on reading everyone’s posts. Sorry if I misssed something. But will try to catch up soon.
Hope everyone is doing well? Any new symptoms you ladies have?
