POLL: What team are you on?

[bethkate]

The kind of crazy thing is that I could call my RE and find out the sex today if I wanted since they obviously know which embryo we transferred. I had 5 to start with and was told it was a mix of both, but i didn't ask for more info than that. We'll find out, but I'd like to wait a while because I don't want to know the sex if we have another first tri loss.

[RoLoMa]

We will be finding out. I had the Panorama test done last time around and will do it again this time. We should know by about 13-14 weeks. I admire anyone who can hold out!

**loss mentioned**

With my 10 week loss, we had planned to do the panorama testing at 11 or 12 weeks too. I don't know about this time though. I've got a CCS tested embryo, so is that testing useful? I'm not sure...

[pootsen]

We will be finding out the sex. I just can't wait that long but I think it's super cool for the people that can! We found out with DS and I just sobbed with joy during the ultrasound after we found out. It was such a memorable moment!

I am not personally experienced with embryo testing but my cousin had their embryos PGS tested so they didn't need to do the panorama and I believe PGS and CCS are basically the same.  My understanding is the PGS tests for pretty much all of the same chromosomal things.

We will find out. Had harmony done last time, but it was due to a complication, my office doesn't normally offer it and I had it done at the MFM in place of a CVS. If I can't convince them to send me for it this time, hopefully sans complications, I might go to Quest. If not we'll do an elective ultrasound around 15-16 weeks. Waiting until 20 weeks might kill my husband.

[bethkate]

RoLoMa, yeah, that's what I was thinking.

We were team green with both kiddos and will be team green with this one as well. It was so hard not to ask at the anatomy scan but once that was past it was fine.

[beefinch]

Major props to anyone that's team green. I would love to do it but I just couldn't, and I can't talk myself or DH into the idea either.

We will be having a gender scan at 16 weeks, with DS I saw his boy parts before the tech said it, it was a lovely moment.

So excited to find out if we are team blue or pink!

[izz67]

We will find out at the anatomy scan. I think it would be fun to be team green but MH likes to know and I'm not sure I'm patient enough.

[peggels24]

We will find out around 12 weeks. Last time they did the Maternit21 test at 10 weeks and it took about 2 weeks to get results....I'm not sure if they still use it or a different one.

[grumpycat88]

Team Green! We found out with DS at the anatomy scan, but I had a VERY vivid dream about 16 weeks in which he was a boy and what his name was ... so I'm kind of hoping that happens again

[cnf2013]

We should pin this so we can update as we find out. Are you the admin yet @thatgolfbitch?

[Deleted]

Even though we have "one of each" we're both terribly impatient and will be finding out as soon as possible. It always feels so much more real for me after, like the baby and I are more connected.

[lilrubberduckie]

Team green. With dd we were also team green, I did think I saw that she was a girl for .002 seconds at the anatomy scan last time but didn't know for sure. Since one ultrasound is all we get, it's easier once we made it through that without seeing/asking. We did say if I accidentally saw this time we would make sure to find out for sure because it killed me last time thinking I knew it was a girl but not knowing if I really saw or not. I hope we don't see as it was so much fun checking when she was born. I cry every time watching the video and hearing our voices say it's a girl. 😭

You mean make it sticky? I can do that since I'm a mod.

Yes! All of the above! I forgot you had mod powers!

Clearly my brain is on FB vernacular since I mod a group over there and things get "pinned."

[blabbermouth]

We'll find out when we can, at the 20 week ultrasound I guess. We're not super fussed and it's not going to be all blue or all pink either way, but I just want to know. I mean, we might as well take advantage of technological advances where we can, right?

[whoopsadaisy]

This is a debate in our house. DH is desperate to know, but we were team green with DS and I loved it and want to do that again. When DS was born, no one said anything about the sex right away and the nurse was carrying him over to the warmer and DH looked over and said, "It's a boy!" Such a cool moment!
DH thinks that DS will adjust better if we are able to talk about his "brother" or "sister." IDK - there are so few surprises left in life and DS is 21 months, it's going to be a rough time no matter what.

[diamondsndaisies]

XH and I found out with DD at the anatomy scan . DH refuses to find out before hand and we waited with the girls until they were born. I told him this time I refused to wait but promised that I wouldn't tell a soul what it was once I found out.

[fknhostile]

We plan on finding out. I wish I had the patience for team green!

We usually go get an early scan at 14 weeks. The place is so nice and the woman is so sweet. I'm excited to visit her again.

But because of our loss, we will be able to find out via blood test at 10weeks. MH wants to know then but I want to wait for the scan. I feel like it won't be as much fun finding out over the phone, you know?

[Deleted]

We havent decided yet. We were team green with DS. We found out with DD but didn't tell anyone. I'm leaning towards team green again.

[laurensc927]

I want to wait, it's one of the last true surprises in life. It's weird though considering i could call the RE and find out now if i wanted to.

There is no way I could wait. I would have been asking the RE on transfer day. You have willpower!

Yeah...but if it doesn't work or it's an early loss, do you want to know the sex? That's why I didn't get the sex of my frosties.

[theiowagirl]

Team Green again. I could be talked into finding out every time. But the husband thinks it's neat to wait. I tried to decipher our AS with our first. Turns out I can't read ultrasound pics.

[kensie5226]

Whoops sorry, wrong BMB!!!!

[bostonbaker]

We found out yesterday. It's a boy!!!

[pootsen]

We are team blue! It's a boy 😊 we did a little mini sex reveal at the end of DS's 3rd birthday party today. The last gift we had him open was full of blue balloons. We are pretty stoked to have 2 little guys running around!
